Haha! You are running the worst theme ever.

Probably that is what's causing the problem. Try turning that off and see what happens.

[William Bokunic]

I'll switch over to my Gaming profile and see.

[William Bokunic]

Well for whatever reason that was it, but it worked before I upgraded while using this same theme, so I may downgrade to the release before the latest Paint.NET. By chance do you have a link, lol?

Either that or I'll just make a profile for Photo Editing.

(And FYI it is not the worst theme :-p, that goes to Window XPs Luna)

I like the new XP Zune theme...

[Rick Brewster]

Is that even running in Windows?

Or, just tell WindowBlinds to not theme Paint.NET. WindowBlinds does all sorts of crazy things that screw up .NET applications.

[William Bokunic]

Yeah. It was working with it, then I opened Paint.NET and it said there was an update. So I updated and shut it down (after finishing what I had used it for). Then it wouldn't work on the next boot thereafter.

I disabled Paint.Net in Windowblinds and it now works again. I wonder what was in the new update that made it mess up. Thanks for the help.
