I've got that same problem with my windowblinds 4.5 while using Internet Explorer 7. The Home, Feeds, Print, Page and Tools icons are distorted and off-centered.
Is there a fix for this problem?

You need to install a later version of WB.  WB 4.5 is very old.

I'm also having problems with Internet Explorer 7. Basically with any skin other than 'Windows XP Style' loaded I lose the taskbar in IE 7 that has the tabs, home button, print, tools, etc., and there's no way of getting it back without unloading the skin. Has anyone else come across this problem? My WB config is:

Have done a bit more testing and it only affects new browser windows, so if I have IE7 open and showing the tabs bar, then load WB, the existing IE7 window is ok, but if I launch further copies of IE7 after loading WB then the tab bar has disappeared...?

Darimar: If you add iexplore.exe to the Per Application list within the WindowBlinds Configuration dialog and select the 'Total Exclusion' option, does this fix the problem you're describing?

If you have no tabs in IE7, please ensure the skin you are using is a complete skin (has tabs, toolbar buttons etc).  Also make sure you have not disabled tab or toolbar skinning in WBconfig.

I have tried 8 or so different skins, including many of the ones that come with WB. If I add IE to the Per Application list, excluding it completely, the tabs show up correctly. I've tried various configurations in the Per Application settings, and if I'm not totally excluding it, the tabs don't show up.

Just tried this at home and it doesn't seem to be a problem there. Could it be an issue with NVidia vs. ATI drivers?

Fixed! I apparently disabled toolbar skinning and didn't realize it. I guess I misunderstood what Neil was trying to say, or I would have picked up on that right away. Anyway, thanks for the help, guys!
