I downloaded Windowblinds 8 and SkinStudio 8 because of the "win7 compatibility", worked fine until I started skinning and I soon figured out that little things like the white borders around tool menus and the favorites menu don't work in the same way they have in the past. First time you open one of these menus it work, and every other time after that it doesn't, you're stuck with the white border.
talking with someone at wincustomise helped me firgure this out, there's a workaround to this problem, trying what he said I saw that the 'Extra Settings' for SkinStudio in the favorites menu is no longer there, so no way to turn off the transparency.
so I went back to WindowBlinds7. is a good thing I backed up my public documents because uninstalling WindowBlinds8 also deletes all of my skins without asking.
back in WindowBlinds 7 I see that SkinStudio 8 no longer loads. uninstall and reinstall - nothing.
then I find that SkindStudio 7 is no longer in my downloads
so now I'm stuck asking for help here on where to download it.
