Problem with menubar
 
I just installed the latest version, and didn't have an older version installed on this pc. Now it seems to be working fine. Just that when I go over a menubar item with my mouse, the screen resizes a bit smaller towards the upper left corner. Until eventually, after enough times, only the titlebar is visible. After that the titlebar itself begins to shrink to the left. I get the same thing from buttons inside other menus, unless I press a button like 'apply' which seems to stop the buttons inside the menus to cause mentioned problem.

I have windows XP, zmud 7.05 and WindowBlinds, which is an XP theme program (to alter the appearance, might have something to do with it).

Anyone have any idea what to do, or had similar things?

Windowblinds seems to cause some problems. I've not used it, but glancing at some other topics...

there is an option to disable theme support for zmud in zmud settings.

The program does have issues with windowblinds and disabling theme support doesn't seem to do the trick. I would guess that the problem is that zMUD puts the name of the menu you're hovering over in the titlebar and causes some funky windows stuff, but it's just a guess.

To fix it, if you're using windowblinds...

1. First make sure you don't have zMUD open.

2. Open up windowblinds and select "Per Application" from the Settings list. Click "Add per application setting".

3. Browse to where you installed zMUD and select Zmud.exe.

4. In the dialogue that appears, check the "Ignore this application and do not skin it" option. Click OK.

5. Select "Apply Changes" in the main dialogue. Then close the Windowblinds configuration.

6. Open zMUD, your problems should be solved.
