Since microsoft isn't supporting 7 anymore, I'm not sure all the skinners still support 7. Might have some luck contacting the skin author.

Hello,

Since, all other themes work without issue, I believe, as Jim point out above, is best to contact the skin author.

Note : Looking at that theme comment section, you already done that and you already get the answer from the author.

Thank you,

Author here.

As I have skinned "Silpheed" in the same way I have skinned ALL of my other skins for WindowBlinds IT SHOULD by rights work for Windows 7, 8 & 10.

UPDATED WB-skin. Created on Win 10, Should work for 7 & 8 too.

If you prove Purchase I will send the new WB via e-mail.

-There was nothing wrong with the skin, but made a few adjustments that might solve the problem for the FEW win 7 users that experienced it..

@ Give me your E-mail and prove purchase, (In PM-PrivateMessage)

At this point it best to have someone else, a third party, test it on their system to verify if the issue is with your system or not. or If you have another pc to test eseeya.

Yes I do, that is why I can't test to verify it. And I am only asking to test it on his own system.

Email me, I'll give it to you.

-I am as well Interested to know what is going on -(For SOME ON 7)

Also, can someone on 10 verify it is working as it should.

-I would like to add that I myself have NO issues with it at all, and have skinned it like I always have (There are actually not that many ways you can F**k this up when you have skinned as long as I have)

Saw the Video... -NO, the Startmenue actually doesn't show up...

-WHAT EXACTLY might cause this??? -NEIL BANFIELD would be the one to solve this Mystery.

-Again. I have skinned this to the best of my abilities and I haven't got a clue as to why this ia happening for this one and only skin. -Volition is skinned on the same system and I have not heard about any issues with that skin.

-Anyone tried it on Win 8 ??

I decided to go this way, so no one gets into this Piccle.

You can always setup a virtual machine for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 just to test things out. I setup VMware Workstations for my testing. Just my 2 cents.

BTW, I tested Silpheed on Windows 8.1, no issue with Start8 Startmenu there.

Have you deleted anything manually from the skin folder, Andy? I have had whole sections go screwy because I deleted something I assumed was irrelevant to the skin I was running. Some of these leftover legacy files (labeled .uis.wb4 and such) wouldn't seem to have any relevance to a modern skin, but are like removing the foundation of your house.

It is possible to delete something that didn't effect your win10 with start10 setup, but have an effect on a win7 system......just a thought.

A user should not delete anything from inside a Windowblinds skins folder. The only thing the designer should do before releasing a skin is run the 'Tools, Clean Skin' function in SkinStudio and if there are any leftover images get rid of them, which creates a 'Backup' folder in the skins folder. Then in SkinStudio do a 'File, Open skin folder' and delete or move the 'Backup' folder if you want to keep the images. Also delete the 'Temp' folder. Then create your .wba file.
