WindowBlinds Interferes with Yahoo?

INTERFERENCE! O_O

January 23, 2006 10:20 PM from

Ok, I have this little coeekeedeenk here. Whenever I have a style applied to my Windows XP with WindowBlinds, and then I try to use Yahoo! Instant Messenger, Yahoo! will close out completely when I attempt to use it.

The program will load up fine. But, if I try to pull down any of its menus in the buddy list, the entire program just closes out without warning or notice.

Can anyone help me?

I don't think Yahoo plays well with others.

open WB configure - click per application on the left - click add on the right and browse to the yahoo exe and add it - the in settings have WB exclude from skinning it.

some programs will work if you only skin the title bar (last option in settings)

Which version of WB are you using?

You know what?

*high pitched voice* I don't know...

I would assume it's the latest version, but I can't check at the moment because I'm on a PC at school, and not at home. I'll get back to you, though.

I use Yahoo Instant Messenger (sometimes) and Trillian (mostly), both work fine with WB running (v 5.0 build 49x86)
