When StarDock's WindowsBlinds is used with Classic Shell, it causes some problems, like the Classic Explorer bar not being being skinned. It's funny, because that bar is integrated with the standard menu bar, which is skinned everywhere else.

A dream feautre would be to have Classic Start Menu intergrate with WindowsBlinds so that the start menu is skinned along with the rest of the computer. I know Start8 does this, but I want the XP Style start menu that Classic shell gives. I also know that Classic Shell skins the start menu differently, using a different way of patching the pictures and everything together. And chances of collaboration are slim because it competes with StarDock's own menu replacement buuuut..... I have a dream! ;)

Anyway, any plans to look into why the first problem is caused, and any plans to fix it and similar ones that arise using WindowsBlinds?

stardock tends to only fix compatibility issues across their product line. IE if windowblinds has a bug with start8 they will fix the bug in start8, so users will be more inclined to buy both, instead of using a 3rd party solution for one. Atleast thats my belief

The Classic Explorer bar is just a regular toolbar. Possibly they have an exception for skinning toolbars in Explorer because the menu is kind of like a toolbar and they prefer to have the menu look right instead of third-party toolbars.
Either way, I don't think there's anything I can do on my end.
