WindowBlinds 10 Beta - Some apps not being skinned

Published on February 4, 2016 By CAaronL In WindowBlinds

First of all, thank you soooo much for finally releasing a WindowBlinds 10 Beta version. I upgraded to Windows 10 early, and I have been stuck with the ugly, ugly UI for far too long. I'm overjoyed to be able to skin Windows once again.

I am noticing that the following applications are not skinned by WindowBlinds 10 at all under Windows 10, at least in my installation:

Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
Windows "settings" dialogs (now separate but similar to the "control panel" dialogs)
All Windows "Metro/Universal" (or whatever Microsoft is calling them this week) apps

Any chance these things are being worked on? I do much prefer my Win10 PC running WB10 so much better than without WB, but it's a bit of a bummer that the skinning is incomplete/inconsistent throughout the OS.

Thanks again, Stardock, for the hard work.

Google Chrome should be skinning.

Firefox paints its own titlebar on Windows 10 so will not skin.

Universal apps do not use the standard OS titlebar. We will be offering support for changing those titlebar buttons slightly though.

Google Chrome

I'm not sure that these are still relevant, but here are a couple of things you might try:

If you are using one of Chrome's own themes within it, go into Chrome and reset it to the default theme. Exit Chrome and apply a WindowBlinds theme.

Don't have Chrome running when you apply a WindowBlinds theme.
