Some programs not skinned

Wednesday, December 31, 2003 by Chris McNally | Discussion: Stardock Software

I just bought Object Desktop and now some of my programs such as mozilla are not skinned even when in the classic theme. Everything was going fine when I had the trial versions, is this a bug in the newer versions? HELP!

no its not a bug mozilla skins itself. If you can find a skin for mozilla that just includes the icons it will look right. I don't know any places for mozilla skins, but If you had firebird I could help you. And to the other programs. Some programs don't support skinning altogether. Since you said it worked with the trial versions I don't know what to say about that.

the title bar looks like a raindow fade for some reason, and the support page does say it should work with mozilla in the classic skin.

Did you completely uninstall the trial WB before installing the paid version? And reboot before installing the paid version? Those are important steps to take as not doing so could cause the problems you are seeing.

Yes, it did it using any skin, I fixed the problem tho. I think the problem was that I was running WindowBlinds4 and Windowblinds at the same time without realizing it. I cant be absolutely sure, but its working now so Im good.

Thanks for the help.

yeah that would probably mess things up. The latest version of windowblinds has very few bugs, so I doubted it was windowblinds. The only bug I found was if you delete the svchost process and go into hibernate stuff doesn't show up right. but doing that also screws up other stuff. What really pissed my was it made my wireless connection go screwballl. It said it was there, but wouldn't work. nevermind I am going on a tangent. yay thats its working again
