These responses kind of puzzled me....so let's thin them out a bit . Anybody using WindowBlinds and WebBlinds and the Favorites Menu is skinned, hold up your hand

I don't know why you're going thru Display Properties, but........just open WindowBlinds proggie and load any skin it shows you............

The favorites menu will skin in IE, although there are a few limitations still. There is a colored box around the folders and also you can't change the Mouse Over text color (as far as I know), other than that it seems fine to me

If you're using a different WebBlinds skin most, if not all, will not skin the background or the folder icons. Gary if you know a way around that let me know, cause I've just learned to live with it..

When you open WindowBlinds it should open....well.....WindowBlinds. You might want to try a clean re-install and see if that sorts out your problem

It used to not work for me, when I had Windowblinds4, but now with 4.1, it skins the Favorites menu fine. And I have the problem with WebBlinds and the backgrounds for the toolbars, too. WebBlinds doesn't fix the Favorites menu, either. A lot of problems to fix.

My favorites menu is fully skinned. Mouseovers and everything. I DO NOT have WebBlinds installed and I'm running WB 4.1 on XP Pro.

Currently using Empire by Agneva (incase its a skin-specific issue)

If I only use WindowBlinds, it works fine. The problem is (and I think it's the answer to the original question) if you use WebBlinds it will not work. I use WebBlinds to utilize the different toolbars and throbbers, so I just consider it a trade off........

yrag, you should really checkout Y'z Toolbar. You have a much better selection of toolbars...you just can't change the throbber though. http://www.designtechnika.com/main/modules.php?modid=1&action=cat&id=3
