GT3wb5 + Firefox
Google Toolbar Dropdown
Tuesday, January 20, 2009 by goldstix | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I've been having some trouble trying to fix the color settings in Firefox while using the GT3wb5 skin specifically with Google Toolbar. The drop down search for the google toolbar has very light gray text on a white back ground and you can't read it.
Here is a picture of how it looks.
I know that you can change the colors in WB but I'm unable to find what to change in the "Change System Colours" to fix the issue.
I've changed some settings to for the text and background the following:
System Colour: Window Text -> Black
System Colour: Window -> White
I was having some trouble seeing text on some web pages that had a simular problem as the search drop down. I was able to fix the color problems for text in forums and web pages by doing the following in Firefox.
Tools -> Options -> Contents -> Colors
Unchecked the Use System Colors
Changed Text to Black and Background to White
Anyone using this skin know how to fix the problem with the Google Toolbar drop down?

I fixed it once, but I had to reformat my drive, after the reinstall, I can't remember what settings I changed or recreate it.

vStyler, I looked for a GT3wb5 but couldn't locate one with that title (darn there are a lot of GT3 blinds). I could probably help if goldstix was using SS but it appears he's limiting this to WB and I don't use WB that much. your court???

Well gt3 was a WB5 skin.. think thats what he means.. but I have a feeling any blind might look goofy with the toolbar..

some text colors are hardwired by windows and while I don't use FF this could be one of them. it probably isn't an issue with windowblinds but with the way the skin was made.
