Start10 is needed to skin the start menu to fit the WindowBlinds skin. Go to Stardock.com and sign in, the go to My Downloads page and download Start10. After you install it you'll need to reboot. Hope this helps.
Do what "Uvah" says above.
After you install Start10 the start menu will skin matching the Windowblind you are using. You won't have to skin anything.

If you purchased Windowblind as a stand alone program and not an Object Desktop member you will have to purchase Start10 as a stand alone program. Well worth the few dollars it cost.
