Windows 7 Skinning for WB
Thursday, February 25, 2010 by OldMsgt | Discussion: Skinning
Attention all W7 WB skinners
I would like to post a little reminder it is as follows:
When using a color for the menu bar and tool bar on Internet explorer 8 Please use a colour other than a light one as the default background for IE 8 is a very light blue. Light greys and whittes are virtually unreadable. Infact color frames around these items would be nice but not nesessary. Just darker font colours so there is a readable contrast with the IE 8 light blue colour
It would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Yep! That is why I use Firefox.

Me to I really like the latest version it uses what are called personas, and it changes them on the fly without re-starting FF when loading from the persona FF site. Right now I am using the solid gold persona. You if desired can create your own persona.

I don't believe it is IE8 that can't be skinned because a friend of mine has IE8 and it skins fine. She has XP so therefore I believe it is an issue with Vista and Windows 7

Too bad the tabs and stuff can't be skinned in IE8 also.
