Windowblinds + Firefox is driving me crazy.

Wednesday, May 23, 2007 by Sommunist | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Alright, I haven't been able to skin Firefox since I got windowblinds. This is a pity because I really love the transparent theme I found (Vista R2 Blizz.)

Windowblinds system info:
WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:

STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

You have one monitor in total.

(Plug and Play Monitor) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS

Firefox version 2.0.0.3

While I'm at it, I should add that Windowblinds also fails to skin Pidgin (http://www.pidgin.im/ program was formerly GAIM)

What do you mean you can't skin Firefox? Screenshots? Firefox uses its own skinning engine. You should also update to Windowblinds 5.5. Certain applications have their own theming engines (like Firefox, Yahoo messenger, Trillian, etc) and don't get skinned by WB too well.

I use Pidgin and don't have any problems with WindowBlinds skinning it.

This file belongs to the pirated version of WB 5.0.

For the optimal experience, please use the registered version of WindowBlinds 5.5

If your problem is that your windowsblinds skin won't work on firefox, i can't help you.
If your problem is that your firefox theme has been broken since installing windowsblinds, add Firefox to windowsblinds' exceptions list and it won't try to skin it.

This is on WB's website as a solution to firefox taking way more memory than before using windowsblinds, so there might also be a performance increase.

It's probably caused by the spyware/viruses incorporated into the pirated version.
