Cannot read Email Address Header in Outlook

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

When I switch skins in windows blinds 11 to anything but the default win 11 skin, the Email header in Outlook 365 turns to a very light blue color and is unreadable. Also, the ribbon button in Win Explorer becomes very faint as well and hard to distinguish.

Same thing is happening to me. It makes Windowblinds pretty much unusable at work.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. We need more information.

  1. Windows 10 or 11? full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe
  2. Windowblinds full version number.
  3. The issue appear on any Windowblinds theme? If not, please list down few theme that you having issue with.
  4. Do you have any other application running in the background which also change how your system work, such as StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher, WindHawk, OpenShell etc

As a reference, this is what I get on my system. But, on my system, I have "ApplicationFrameHost.exe" excluded/ignored in my Windowblinds Per application setting. Doing this will force all universal application excluded.

Thank you.

1. Windows 11 version 25H2 (build 26200.8117)

2. Windowblinds 11.07 (024 x64)

3. Yes, this affected every theme I tried.

4. Nothing else of that nature running.

I eventually found the exclusions section and added Outlook to the exclusions, so I'm happy to say I can use Windowblinds now.
