WindowBlinds Precision skin

Incompatible with MindGems Folder Size

May 31, 2021 11:41:00 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hello,

Ran into a problem today with WindowBlinds 10 running on Win 10 Pro 21H1. If I load the Precision skin (any variant) and try to run the program Folder Size, by MindGems, Folder Size will start but remains minimized in the taskbar.

This is most unfortunate as Precision is about the only skin I prefer (I don't need wild or techno skins, just something to take the "blah" off of Windows 10).

Anyone seen something similar or know a workaround? I know this sounds far fetched, but is there a way to exclude a single program from WindowBlinds skinning?

Thanks,

MadDogDean

PS: Here is Folder Size (freeware)

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. You can exclude a program via the per application setting. Follow the red arrows shown in the screenshot.

Thanks Basj, that's exactly what I was looking for.

 

One other note (not directly related), is there a listing of what the Customize entries refer to (which parts of the screen do they relate to?), like in the following screenshot:

 

 

Thanks,

Those are the standard windows colors. The ones you used to be able to change back in the 95/98 era that w8.1 killed off. For example ColorMenu is for the bkg color of a popup menu while MenuBar is for the bar at the top of a window (just above the client area).

Thanks.
I was actually wondering of there was some sort of visual cross reference as to what is what for us "not so computer inclined" individuals.
The trouble with looking at the list like this is that you need to actually change a color, save it and apply to see the changes. It's a long process to see what changes what.

Cheers
