Issue Summary:
The Raven skin in WindowBlinds does not respect per-application exclusions. Even when, e.g., Microsoft Word and Outlook are added to the exclusion list, their background styling remains affected — resulting in black or dark backgrounds in new documents and emails.
Steps to Reproduce:
-
Open WindowBlinds
-
Exclude WINWORD.EXE and OUTLOOK.EXE from skinning via the Per Application settings
-
Re-Apply the Raven skin
-
Open Microsoft Word or start a new message in Outlook
Expected Behavior:
Office apps should remain unskinned with white document/message backgrounds.
Actual Behavior:
Even with exclusions, Word and Outlook show dark backgrounds.
This occurs regardless of:
-
Office theme setting (White or Colorful)
-
Registry values (UI Theme = 0 or 100, DisableDarkMode = 1)
-
Windows default appearance
Tested Workaround:
Switching to another theme such as Echo resolves the issue — excluded apps behave correctly. Reapplying Raven immediately reintroduces the dark background bug.
System Info:
-
Windows version: Windows 11 Pro x64 24H2
-
Microsoft Office version: Microsoft 365 (Version 2505)
-
WindowBlinds version: 11.06 (021 x64 Windows 11 Edition)
-
Skin: Raven (official version as per 8th of June 2025)
Request:
Please patch Raven or advise on disabling its bleed-through effects. Per-app exclusion is a critical feature for Office compatibility, and this skin appears to bypass it at the rendering layer.
