Will compatibility with these skins be added at some point? http://fediafedia.deviantart.com/art/Aero-Ultimate-FINAL-81684745 http://ernasco.deviantart.com/art/Aero-Seven-Xp-RC5-134438015 I think they they use the same base skin. When I apply these, the right half of my Start8 menu is &

Hi Neil, Have you been able to isolate the problem with those two skins I linked to? I had hoped updating to the new Windowblinds beta would resolve this problem, but unfortunately it hasn't. Something I noticed only yesterday is that sometimes if one of those two aero skins is run first, other skins will display similar problems until a system restart. I assume reloading start8 would do the trick, too, but the problem does not always occur, so that I cannot

The latest beta of Start8 allows you to pick your own start button image, even if one is supplied by the Windowblinds skin in use. There should also be an option in Windowblinds titled 'Always use the OS start button rather than the theme one'. EDIT - also see the post above. At present, you cannot wholly disable Start8 skinning (I personally would like such a feature as I like the default Win7 skin).

Yes, of course. :-) Aero Ultimate by fediaFedia (download link on the right). Substyle is 'Aero Seven'. http://fediafedia.deviantart.com/art/Aero-Ultimate-FINAL-81684745 Aero Seven XP by Ernasco http://ernasco.deviantart.com/art/Aero-Seven-X

I am using Start8 version 1.17 on Windows 8 (not 8.1). Unfortunately, the menu no longer skins properly if run in conjunction with Windowblinds 8.0 (017). It looks OK when I open the menu, yet as soon as I start mousing over the entries (i.e., text and icons) some of the text in the left half of the menu becomes garbled while that on the right just disappears. I have added an example below. The skin is 'diamond'. This happens with other skins too, however. Note

I know about the trouble that can arise from UxTheme corruption - but I used UxStyle on my Win8 machine until Windowblinds 8 came out, and I never had any problems. Some of those links lead to people who replaced the actual dll file, something that UxStyle doesn't do. If a Windowblinds version of xxinightxx's take on the Win7 interface for Win8 comes out, I will very likely uninstall UxStyle, though, as I try to minimise the number of services running in the background

Thank you for your replies. My experiences so far indicate that the two are, in fact, compatible. An msstyle skin loaded through the standard Windows interface will be recognised by Windowblinds as the default theme. A reboot fixed the problems I initially had with some elements of the msstyle skin not loading (I did have to reapply it - apparently Windows forgot about my preference). @ <a id="ctl00_ctl00__Content__Content__RepeaterReplies_ctl01__LinkUser" class="hand" title="

Has anyone on this forum attempted to combine the UxStyle Core kernel patching programme with Windowblinds? If so, what were the results? I would like unsigned .msstyle files to show up in the Windowblinds 8 menu and, more importantly, to be able to apply them without losing the ability to switch to wba skins. Should you wonder why: I like the Win7 skin made by xxinightxx, yet it is available as an msstyle skin only. As Skinstudio cannot convert post-WinXP msstyle files, I am currentl
