Magnifying glass dont rendered

from WinCustomize Forums

In one skin the file explorer dont make unselected files white again, and in the other one the magnifying glass  dont work. I dont found only one Windows 7 or Vista theme that is completed. So i payed around 50 bugs for a programms, that dont even do his job. I would change it for myselve, but the Wiki dont say a word about Windows 10 and all in all my OS looks more broken now than before. Its kinda sad, i was in hope to get the style of my Win7 again, all i found is unfinished work.

Most of skin authors try his/her best to make a good skin. But there will always be limitation. Changes between Windows 7 and Windows 10 in its core design. So there will never be able to be 100% same look between it. There always be different ways on how Win 7 and Win 10 do things. If you wanted 100% please stay with Win 7 or Vista. Do not upgrade to Win 10. Looking at Window Explorer alone, you will see many, many GUI changes. So, it is not Windowblinds can't do it. Just that, Windows 10 has change and make it impossible for Windowblinds to change it.

Looking at your screenshot on Vista Plus, at that Start10 Start menu, that is setting on Start10, you need to change the setting in Start10. Don't use "Show icons as tiles split into :4" columns"

Thank you,

So whats the point of this programm than? Its to mimic another Skin from another system and fantasy skins. Sure, they all do his best, ofcourse, indeed. But it should be basic, to downgrade the skin of older Os. I couldnt pick Vista or Seven, cause my processor (ryzen 5 3600) refuse to work with it, also my MSI Mainboard. For real, i have buyed a win 7 key 10 mins after i finish this PC. First the Mouse dont work (usb on mainboard, no drivers from win 7) than the PS2 mouse either. Final i tricked it with the wired Keyboard and than: No drivers for Mainboard and prozessor anyway. I am FORCED to install this in my opinion badder Windows 10, if i wanna work and play one games or two. Would be great to have atleast the skin of my favorite OS back, sadly it seems not possible. I only dont understand why someone handle a Skin with even more effects and styles, and not a simple unselected file in the explorer. Updates or not stardock could delete not working themes, like that one above or simple make a compatibilty list if it work or not. Its try and error here, and this for around 4 days.

The old skins still there because there are people who still have Window 7 capable system. And some, like myself, have Virtual Machine for Win 95, Win 7, Win 8  that is running fine on my Ryzen 5 2600X. I am using VMware workstation 15 player. Win 95 is for my old games. Win 7 and Win 8 for testing on my Windowblinds skin.

Still we dont have a solution for the magnifying glass. This skin above is almost perfect accept this, and the filebrowser. Would take it as template, but without magnifying glass its kinda pointless. It works on basic substyle. Could you try this Aero7X Rev05 skin out please and tell me how to fix it?

Here is the link

Hello,

It is best if you talk to the designer of the skin if you have issue with it. He should be able to fix it.

Thank you,

Please point a skin that have issue on Magnifier that is listed in Wincustomize.com, free one please, and, I will try to figure out what is wrong with it. The one you liked before is in Deviantart, which, I can't seem able to download it.

Try to delete that skin, redownload that skin. Reply it. See if that helps.

If not, please try purge and reinstall steps as mentioned here: https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#reinstalling Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account. Reboot after the purged. Reinstall, and Reboot again after the installation. Retest it. Report back here.

No change :/. Also tryed out to uninstall 20h2 just in case. With or without, the glass appears on some skins and on some not. Even on substyles. But thats are everytime the same one. So it isnt an OS mistake, its the skin.

If you mean the glass blury effects on Windows frame,  than, yes, it can be turn on or off in skinstudios by the skin author. 

Thanks

I guess, I don't really understand this statement. A screenshot would be great. And What does this related to Magnifier?
