Not skinning Chrome or Firefox

Monday, December 10, 2018 by gevansmd | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Chrome will not skin at all.  Oddly, popup windows in Firefox are skinned but not the man browser window.  Doesn't matter which Wb I choose.

This is my configuration:

Windows 10 Enterprise (17134.rs4_release.180410-1804)

WindowBlinds 10.74 (054 - Windows 10 Edition) - 64 bit OS

Window titlebar blur features are enabled on this operating system

For Chrome a flag has to be toggled.  See the last post here:

For Firefox do you have the title bar enabled?  See here:

Thanks.  Chrome now skins but Firefox still won't skin.  In Firefox, neither the main browser window nor pop windows are skinned.  I misspoke earlier, the popup windows weren't skinned but at least they had min/max/close buttons.  They've reappeared in the main window but still no skinning.

Why do companies try to bypass the default OS settings so that users can customize them?  Sigh!
