BlitzMax on Win8 with WindowBlinds

Hey all,

is anyone experiencing strange window decoration issues on Windows 8 and BlitzMax applications (MaxGUI apps are not affected) ?

For me, it only comes up as an old-style Windows 98-like window (with a gradient in the title bar). Kinda like you'd use Windows XP with classic appearance. Windows 8 lacks any theming options in properties for applications, so it can't be that.

I'd guess it has to do with WindowBlinds for Windows 8 though. Any ideas?

You can adjust the visual style of blitzmax apps by embedding an updated manifest file -- I don't have the details, but you should be able to find more on this by searching the forums for 'manifest'.
