Microsoft Edge and WindowBlinds Titlebar
Tuesday, February 4, 2020 by ALMonty | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Is any one have a problem with the new Edge concerning the title bar? I can see that frame uses the WB theme, but the title bar uses the default theme. Is the a Chrome thing? I could never get Chrome to skin and since Edge uses the same engine I'm thinking that's the problem.

It's a shame, you open IE and it's beautiful then you open Edge and it's awful.
I think they did something to IE. It's very slow and some pages don't load all the way.

Yes, I have noticed that on IE also, very slow.

The same command line that makes Chrome use a normal titlebar will also make Edge - chrome do the same.

Neil I created an Edge short cut and added -disable-features=Windows10CustomTitlebar to the end of the target whithin the shortcut. Nothing changed. I also looked at the about/flags in edge and couldn't find anything.

Didn't work for me either. Uninstalled Edge Chromium and went back to the Edge that came with 10. WB works with this.

I have the latest version of Edge Chromium and the title bars are skinned properly in Windowblinds.
You need to unload Windowblinds by applying the Default theme, add -disable-features=Windows10CustomTitlebar to the end of the target and close Microsoft Edge. Restart Windowblinds and select a skin to use. Start Edge and the title bar should be skinned.
The only problem I have is when using my Surface Pro in tablet form the min/max/close buttons will not take input from a Surface Pen. Nothing happens when tapping with the Surface Pen.

Ok, I unloaded Windowblinds, applied the default theme, then added the "-disable-features=Windows10CustomTitlebar" to the end of the "target", closed Microsoft Edge, restarted Windowblinds, added a theme, and nothing, did I miss a step?

I'm using Firefox. It's skinned to whatever blind I apply and works just fine. Try it. You'll like it.

Getting the same thing here ALMonty, but I doubt anything can be done about it.
