Hey guys, did I read somewhere that applying a windowblind skin will automatically unload Curtains and vice versa?
If so, I have issues. I was testing a Curtains skin for someone, and loaded a WB to test for someone else, and I ended up with a screwed up mix of the 2 skins.
I had to unload curtains and reapply the WB in order to fix it.
Is this normal?
Nice workarounds guys, but it still doesn't address the issue. As Neil said:
Only, it doesn't.
As for the additional user login, it will work, but I don't run either WB or Curtains full time. I only test the skins and check for errors/bugs.
Have you tried applying the default theme in Curtains before switching to a WB?
It is the first one in the list called Windows 10 by Microsoft.
A right click option on the systray icon to unload Curtains (like WB) would have been conveient.

Yes, and it works. Not much better than the other workarounds tho.
Why?
Thats what effectively would be happening normally just for some reason isn't happening for you.
I am afraid thats the best solution we can offer you right now and doesn't seem like an enormous hardship to turn off one product before switching to another especially as a curtains style is disabled extremely quickly.
Neil, I thoroughly appreciate all that you do. I know you have a lot on your plate, especially with Windows 11 and all.
But.
Again, the point of this conversation is that applying a WB "should" disable Curtains, and vice versa.
Tons of workarounds, and I am willing to do them. But that isn't what is "supposed" to be happening.
So, can we address why it isn't happening?
I'll provide any extra info pertinent to my system if needed.
And why have we not addressed that? Why is it not happening for me?
Ok. I'll wait.

Have a laugh, Ragnar...errr...Jim. I sense your blood pressure rising.
This all raises the question of why still have the two programs? I know they do slightly different things but they do overlap a lot and this causes confusion.
It will become moot when W11 becomes the OS. Curtains doesn't work on W11.
Yet?
Myself i prefer windowblinds to curtains.
Curtains was designed to be a much simplified product over WindowBlinds. Working differently and doing a lot less but with less compatibility risks too.
