The feature to add shadows under windows, menus, the taskbar and start menu. The same kind that allows you to add blur under the GUI, option that I'd really like Stardock to improve seriously, for Windowsblind 8 maybe ?? If a blur option is indeed a good option, one that mimic the skin is by far The solution that should exist ! I mean the blurred area to be the exact form of the skin not a rectangular one the size of the skin. I'

windowblinds and windows left/right menus in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Upon each new skin applied in windowblinds Windows switches from left handed menus (menus opening to the right of the hand) to right handed ones (menus opening to the left of the hand). The only way I found to set it up right back is to open tablet Pc settings (shell:::{80F3F1D5-FECA-45F3-BC32-752C152E456E}) then choose left handed in the 'other' pane.

I didn't try yet the others options in per pixel settings (blur rounded edge value Horz/Vert), I hope they will help a bit... Nonetheless, using the in built blur option isn't suitable for all non conventionnal skin, like... as one can clearly see the blurred layer in all non skinned parts of the windows, notably the empty parts in the simili title bar.

I am wondering how it is done... I'm walking thru the skin hoping to find out how ! Last year I've made a post about the lack of manual by Stardock, ThIS is clearly a nice demonstration of their skinners poor support !!!

I mean the blur under all the ui parts : title bar (caption), taskbar, windows sides and bottom, contextual menus.... For example, let's say that you design a skin with rounded corners for the windows and enable the blur in per pixel frames, then you'll find that the windows have squared corners blurred under your lovely round corners. If you add shadows (by yourself or using windowblinds option), you'll have a really unpleasant non pro skin : shadow + blur layer (with squ

As I am new in skinning for windoblinds, I sure don't have all the knowledge nedeed so I was wondering if there was another way to apply blur to windowblinds skins besides setting it on in per pixel frames/extra settings ? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining but this method applies a default shape non suitable for what I'm planning.
