Pre-sales questions and one tech question

from Stardock Forums

Hi Stardock, a few pre-sales questions:

How many machines may I install WindowBlinds on? Am I able to install WindowBlinds on a Virtual Machine to design my theme with SkinStudio, then install WindowBlinds on my main machine?

Is there a trial for SkinStudio? I want to see what options it offers.

The WindowBlinds (and Curtains) user interface font is broken (too large - see screenshot). This is on a fresh install of Win 10 Pro or Enterprise 21H2. Is there a fix?

WindowBlinds and Curtains broken UI

Many thanks.

Hello,

Windowblinds come with 5 active installs. So, it possible to run on 5 system including VM's. Skinstudio should be available once you purchased Windowblinds.

On you technical question, what is the scalling applied on the Windows screen where the screenshot was taken? (100%, 200%)

Thanks

Hi basj, the scaling is 100% @ 96 dpi. Again, this is a brand new fresh install of any 21H2 version of Win10 (Home, Pro, Enterprise, LTSC, etc.).

Furthermore, the font scaling of the UI is broken whether a Stardock WindowBlinds theme or Curtains theme is applied or not.

Don't see it on my system. Refer screenshot below. It is possible, you have somehow changed the system font and causing the button font to change and did not revert back to original size? Try applying default Windows system theme. Reboot and check again.

Thank you,

Can confirm, aliasing SegoeUI to Tahoma in Win10 registry causes this behavior.
