Windowblinds and console windows?

Published on December 27, 2008 By MickeM In WindowBlinds

Are there any way to make window blinds not skin console windows and/or fix so it skinds the properly?

I always get the following result:

Which is a bit annoying as there is no buttons and such...

You could try excluding "\windows\system32\cmd.exe" from being skinned, from the WB Config

"Settings" -> "change the look of an app" -> "Add per application setting" -> 'find the application 'exe'' -> check off "Ignore this application and do not skin it" -> click ok.

That should do it.

I have and it works when I press "apply" but not when I reboot... then it is back to broken..

(but generally pressing apply seem to fix the problem)

I use eConsole to skin the command prompt.
