WB and Firefox

Saturday, August 12, 2006 by sherri ruby | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Hi ,
I would like to know if I change over from IE6 to Firefox can I still use WB ?
and if yes is there some setting that I should know about that would need to be changed ?

I would probably be safe in saying most of the users here (including myself) use Firefox and Windowblinds. I've never had any problems with the two.

What you should know, is that WB typically won't skin anything but the outer border of the window. No worries though, since Firefox has many good skins available, including a few in the WC gallery.

Thanks so much Adamness !!
But now are you saying that I would have to use only the ones here that were created for FireFox and that all will not work ? I know nothing about FireFox yet ..

Hey sherri, Firefox can be skinned without WB, themes for it can be downloaded from Mozilla. What Adamness is saying is that because of this and depending on what Firefox theme you are using that basically WindowBlinds will only skin the window frames. All WB skins will work for Firefox, although darker skins can sometimes have text readability issues due to font colors and how Firefox font colors are handled.
With Firefox I use the default theme so more of the WB elements are applied.
