Windows 7 64 bit. Maxed windows. Glass problems at the top also. Does the same not maxed, but to a lesser degree.

Just tried those 3. Masters, I'll check others. I won't have time to check every skin. 

How do I add more wallpapers from other folders, like it was possible to do in wb7? (Have them spread out on different discs). Have tried to drag and drop, doesnt work.

A method will be added to a future release.

confirmation.

COMODO ANTVIRUS even if disabled or exited WILL crash explorer over and over if windowblinds is installed.

uninstalled it, windowblinds running sweet as, even the explorer windows, and start 8 not displaying odd behaviour either.

now to find another anti-virus :/

any recomendations?

I can confirm also Comodo Internet Security version 6.1 was causing my explorer crashes too. 

Seems odd it was causing this problem since Windowblinds stated it installed correctly, however the systray icon would never appear.

Are you sure you have not messed with the explorer background transparency settings and set them to be very transparent?

Regarding the taskbar, do you have anything on your machine that might be making the Windows 8 taskbar solid (vs the usual translucent)?

Please do report any issues now.  It is expected that existing WB7 skins should work perfectly with WB8.  SkinStudio is simply an editor like notepad.

Getting the same as the others on Windows8 64 bit, nothing is system tray, and it stating when i try to apply a blind that theres a problem, I'm also running ESet Smart Security and have tried the fix stated above (in a prevous reply) but no luck. like the others windowsblinds is the only thing that i'm having problems with.

Here are some issues I have noted:

OS Info: Windows 8 Professional x64

First, the WB8 icon will not show in the tray area unless you go in and set it to Show Icon and Notifications on every boot. After rebooting it goes back to hidden all by itself.

Also, within WB8 itself the preview images on the left show the start buttons high up on the task bar on several skins even though they apply correctly, centered vertically when the skin is applied.

Using Windows 7 skins on Windows 8 produces several issues:

1. The show desktop image, even though it shows in Windows 7, does not show in Windows 8. This may be a forced OS issue though.

2. The start panel separator images are off in many skins even though they look fine in Windows 7, adjusting them using SKS in Windows 8 resolves the issue though.

3.  The text margins used in a Windows 7 skin on the places panel do not display correctly on Windows 8, text has moved up considerably.

4. If you hover over an item in the programs panel that brings up a task list on the right side, the text color on the items in the task list is black and not as the text color assigned.

5. If you set an item in the places panel to be a popup menu instead of a link, the item mouse over image is not the same as it is in Windows 7, it is just a solid color.

6. The menu bar background (or toolbar image, not sure in Windows 8) in explorer windows (File, Computer, View, Etc.) is white and does not use the image supplied in Windows 7.

7. The log off button text (Shutdown) is not using the font assigned in Windows 7, and even changing it in SKS under Windows 8 does nothing at all.

8. Randomly an open window, could be any program or even explorer, will freeze and you cannot close it unless you right-click on the item in the task bar and close it there. For instance clicking on the close glyph does nothing except make the window appear in an inactive state and it becomes completely unresponsive unless you close it on the task bar.

9.  The text and search image on the search bar on the start menu, even though centered vertically in Windows 7, is shifted downward a pixel or two in Windows 8.

I think these are all self-explanatory and do not require screenshots. Just check a few skins and you'll see.

More to come, I am sure. 

Oh, and by the way, checking "Email me when someone replies" at the bottom of a thread when posting does not work, no emails are being sent.

I have a new laptop with W8 which has never had W7 or Windowblinds on it and I use Avast free version. I had no problems with installation  and the icon shows in my system tray.

The only thing I noticed is that when I'm in Firefox 22.0 with a lot of tabs running, when I try to delete a tab by clicking on the 'X', it goes right through the tab and clicks on the 'minimize' button on the top window frame.

Windows 8 Pro, ESET Antivirus 6, AMD HD 6690, latest (non-beta) drivers.

Couldn't make WB8 work on my computer until I disabled HIPS protection from ESET 6.

After the required reboot, WB8 registered as active, however after aplying a skin, everything went to black except for the configuration screen.

I tried unsucessfully to apply the "default" skin, but nothing worked, so I resolved to try to logoff/logon via the CTRL+ALT+DEL menu.

Nothing worked, so I resorted to rebooting.

After logging in again, the screen went to black.

I tried every recovery option Windows 8 offered, but nothing worked.

Finally I had to reinstall Windows 8.

I was fully expecting to post an issue when I found the previous comments on eset. The wcore.exe add worked perfectly.

Very impressed and satisfied with the work the Stardock team has done with WindowBlinds for Windows8!

Thank you for your time and effort in getting WindowBlinds working with Windows8, Neil and Team... it has been worth the wait - Job Well Done!
