Irritating Issue-WB5 NOT Skinning Tabs in IE6

IE Tabs w/MSN Toolbar aren't skinned...

Friday, July 14, 2006 by SheltieMom | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Please help... this is VERY annoying. I am using WB5 (full/purchased version) and IE6. I have MSN Toolbar installed which enables you to use tabs... the issue is that any additional tabs beyond the first tab are not skinned, then when I click back to the first tab I lose the entire top border (with minimize/maximize/restore buttons) and have to reload the skin. I always update WB5 when logging on to Stardock Central and am notified of an available update. Any ideas as to why this is happening? It makes me wish I hadn't purchased WB at all because as it stands now I really don't, and won't, continuously use it with this bug.

Any help, suggestions, comments, etc. would be appreciated. I didn't know where else to turn.


Thanks!!

IE6 does not natively support tabs and that is why this is happening.  The IE7 betas have no problems like that.

We will look into why the MSN toolbar is causing this to happen though.

Thanks!! I would use IE7, but the other user's of this computer don't like IE7 and I had to revert to IE6... any help would be appreciated!
