Dissapointing: not working on numerous apps

Win10 and WB broke?

from Stardock Forums

Office, skype, chrome and many more apps not skinned or not skinnet properly? Tried a couple of built-in skins/themes, downloaded a few new one, nothing too fancy... seems the skins are broken, the top part just not skinning the windows.

Is it just me or its now considered "normal behavior" for WB under win10?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, yes, most applications which have its own skin engine will not work properly with Windowblinds. Most browser have its own skin engine. But, I have forwarded your questions to the Stardock Support team for their assistance and better explanation. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate you feedback and patience.

Thank You,

Well, I must say that Skype is skinning just fine for me.

I'm on a Surface Laptop Book 2.

I'm just downloading some intel driver (originally just built-in WHQL is installed, default windows driver, I'm curious if this helps or not).

 

BTW: Skype free or Skype for Business? Office 2016 installed, none of those windows were skinned properly. Nor Chrome/Brave browser. Remote Desktop App I don't even expect to be skinned thats a different kind of "animal". :)

Example screenshot, Chrome (yes, set advanced settings in WB to skin Chrome, restarted laptop, didn't help), Skype for Business, and OneNote 2k16.

None of them skinned (properly).WB

Free. For Desktop, not the app version.  I have Skype for business, what is the perk for it over the free?

It is for business really, not important for personal use.
