It didn't start happening until Chrome 43. Chrome 42 was fine.

Wow. Okay. It must be something on my computer. Find that hard to believe. But, okay.

Still can't believe no one else is reporting this. Why just me?

Philly, I am sure that a large percentage of WB users also use Chrome. Can I be the only one?

What gets me is that no one else is reporting this, at least on the forums.

If this is true, then why the heck does it work fine if WB is not skinning it?

Okay, I have narrowed it down a bit more. If I allow WB to skin Chrome and turn off Chrome's use of hardware acceleration, it works fine. But it can't be the fault of the video cards or drivers because it is doing it on two different video cards and drivers from two different manufacturers.

I doubt it has anything to do with the video card. My laptop has both Intel HD4600 graphics and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 770M. I could choose to run the graphics for Google Chrome under either card. They both had issues when WindowBlinds is skinning Chrome (the Nvidia showed the driver crashing when it happened; so, I know the computer was using a different graphics card). They both ran fine when WindowBlinds does not skin Chrome.

Okay, it's a problem between GC and WB.

DrJBHL, thanks for the assist. But, it still doesn't fix the problem. Configuring WindowBlinds to not skin Chrome does fix it. Still think it's a WindowBlinds problem.

Hi Okay, three hours to update to Windows 8.1 Update 1, plus all the updates for the laptop to run 8.1 properly, plus all the updates from Microsoft since 8.1 was released. And no joy. Windows 8.1 with Update 1 + Chrome 43 + Flash + WindowBlinds 8.12... Still = Flash Problems

Let me ask, if I upgrade to Windows 8.1, should I uninstall WindowBlinds, Start8, and Modern Mix before upgrading and then reinstall them after the upgrade?

It has to do with my Wi-Fi card on the laptop. The newer driver is horrible (dropped connections, slow connections). So I have to use a driver that I can revert back to that is a very old driver provided by Microsoft in Windows 8.0 that is not available if you upgrade to Windows 8.1.

Hi With all the views, I am surprised no one can confirm this. Is it just my computer?

Since upgrading to Google Chrome 43, I have had this irritating problem with SOME Flash content making the interior of the Google Chrome window flash black and the Flash content not to work correctly. Mostly this affected videos that autoplay on Facebook (they would play with no video but the audio would play); but, I have seen other Flash issues too. I really thought it was a problem with the Flash included in this version of Chrome. I have looked on the net trying to find

Oh, I really didn't see an "announcement" that it was released. So, I didn't know. I can confirm that Thunderbird's titlebar is now "broken" with the latest beta.

Any word on when the new beta will be available? Thank you.

Thank you Neil.

Neil, can you give us any insight on the review process for a pending update? Is there a point where a beta is released? Sometimes a beta is released and sometimes there isn't a beta release. I have often wondered why. Thanks.

Island Dog, I stated that I was wrong about that. But, SkinStudio DOES allow you to change the font size of text on icons. I have seen different themes have different font sizes on text of icons. For example, the themes that come with WindowBlinds have different font sizes on text for icons. The Concept theme has text size on fonts a lot smaller than say Diamond. Okay, where can I change that font size for text for icons? T

No one can point me in the right direction?

OK, unless I missed it, the tutorial doesn't show you how to change the font and font size of the text under the desktop icons. If it is in there, can someone point me to the right portion of the tutorial? And if it isn't in there, can someone point me to the right part of Skin Studio? Thanks.

Okay, maybe the icon can't be changed. But the font and font size can. Can you help me located that, please?

Hi all. Happy New Year. I am really struggling with changing things in SkinStudio without a proper manual for version 8. So, I am probably going to be asking a lot of questions. How do I change the size of the desktop icons and their associated text? Thank you.

Albert, it is my guess with the numerous problems with 8.09, they decided to pull it from the downloads.
