Did you know that if you hold down the CTRL key and spin the wheel on your mouse the icons and arrow will change size. I found that one smaller size allowed the icon to stay approximately the same size, but the arrow droped down in 1/2 its normal size. Much better. No external programs required. William

Reply to WindowBlinds 7 + Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit + Corel Draw X4 = Verry verry slow load time and system freez in Windows 7 WinCustomize Forums

For what it's worth. This is a documented problem with the use of external UISO verses UIS2 Skins. Skins that use the UIS0 interface, such as those offered by Microsoft and Stardock selections: Aero Colours, Areo Clay, Aero Metals, and Aero Woods work without problems. But skins that use UIS2 interfaces have problems with some programs that want to only work with official Windows 7 UIS0 rendering software. Stay away from UIS2 interfaces and all is well. I

WindowBlinds 7 + Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit + Corel Draw X4 = Verry verry slow load time and system freez in Windows 7 WinCustomize Forums

I have been trying to use any of WindowBlinds skinns I have and have had to stop using all of them. Every time I have one installed Corel Draw X4 takes from 2 to 5 minutes to load a working file.

This happens every time I update WindowBlinds on my system, XP SP2c and now XP SP3. It works itself out after about 6 or 8 reboots. One or two from a cold start. I have talked to many people who have this problem with XP. I did however, find a work-around from someone. Simply Log Off and Log back On. This will cause the user interface to redraw the icons in the task bar. Works for me. William

Reply to Vista Purchase Caveats in Windows Vista WinCustomize Forums

OK, I purchased a new copy of XP Pro SR2b on 10/26/06 with my new system upgrade, the first day that a upgrade redemption form was made available for VISTA with a XP purchases. My Upgrade form says I am authorized to get a copy of Windows Vista Business. I've looked into the different versions of Vista and I don't like what I see in the Business addition. I want multimedia and DVD authoring support. So I want to upgrade to the Ultimate version of Vista and get it all. I would like t
