Yah00 Messenger 10

Skinning yahoo Messenger 10

Published on January 25, 2010 By firstliight In WindowBlinds

I have upgraded to the new versions of windows 7, windowBlinds 7.01, and Yahoo Instanst Messenger 10, and now notice that it is not skinned by WindowBlinds 7. I know in older versions of yahooo messenge all one had to do was select the classic skin to allow yahoo to be skinned by window blinds, but in the new yahoo messenger 10 there is no place to choose the classic skin. So I am turning to the wincustomize community for help with this issue.

I have already tried to add yahoo messenger to the windowBlinds per application section with no positive results. Does any one here know how to cause windowblinds 7 to skin yahoo messenger 10? if so can you please show me how that is accomplished?

Thank you

Ok I think I found out my own answer to this question so I am posting my findings. I have found out how to cause that new yahoo 10 to be skinned by windowblinds 7. It is quite simple, all i did was go to start menu, then to programs, then to my yahoo folder, then I right moused clicked the yahoo icon, and then I clicked on compatablity tab, and then I checked the box next to disable visual theme, and then apply, and that cause my yahoo messener version 10s interface to be skinned by windowblinds 7

I hope this helps other yahoo messenger users.
