You might check to make sure you don't have 'custom coloring' enabled in your WindowBlinds properties.

Open up the Windowblinds configuration window. Look under 'Settings' > 'My Skins' > 'Change Skin Colour' and make sure 'Enable Custom Colour Support' is unchecked.

As for suites, you'll have to give us more information as to what problems you're having for anyone to help

hi,

the only thng checked under change skin color is invert colors in skin, as for my suites when I go to apply them, this window comes up and usually says do you want to apply this skin, when I say yes the same window comes up and starts downloading the info, then it asks again and when I click yes, it says yoiu have to a theme or skin....makes no sense....again thank you for your help...I really appreciate it

That's inverting the colors in the skin, and that's why they're the wrong color.... uncheck it.
I can't help with the suites problem.

Can't help with the suite problem either.

I have noted, however, the messageboard is up to its old tricks and removing the word 's e l e c t'...

Marianne - the Theme Manager that applies the suites can be a little trying for anyone. For the time being, until you get a better feel for it, just apply each app.(WB, DX, OB, etc) individually, set them to load on Startup and everything will work fine for you.
