I just want to be able to change the in focus window style so that it is the same as the out of focus window style. can windowblinds do that?

With a custom skin it could be done. It's basically just making the styles the same.

Got a question for you Island Dog.. not sure if it's a skin issue or WB7 issue. I've noticed this happening in a few skins now, when you change the transparency on the taskbar it doesn't change the tray area, it stays solid. So it looks REALLY off when the taskbar is transparent but the tray is not. Is it a bug? Is the tray not able to be transparent in win7?

i can answer that. The trayicon is the same as the startbutton. You can skin it, but it NEEDS to be there else you can't open the trayicon settings.

I'm pretty sure you didn't understand the question...lol But thanks anyway.

When you change transparency for the taskbar in WB7, it does not change the transparency for the tray area, that stays solid, which is a problem because it makes the skin look bad.

Resize the taskbar. That made it all transparent for me.

Still haven't fixed close button on toolwindows. With the "non captioned window edge" on vista you're nearly there (1px white border is gone, thank you). Just need to add transparency and blur. It doesn't play too nicely with apps that have windows without captions (go to the task manager in Vista and double click on the background, you'll see what I mean)

and please release a beta of sks7, coding the extra bits in wb7 skins ain't easy.

And it would be nice if the start button faded in and out when I mouse over/out (on ALL OS's, or at least vista and 7). Same with the caption buttons :D

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
