IE has all webpage's bkgrds the same color
Sunday, February 27, 2005 by Next2Nothing | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I don't know if this is normal, but when I skin my comp, and open IE all the backgrounds of all the websites I visit are the presiding color of my windows
If you can see that image you'll get a clearer picture of what I mean. My question is, is there a way to skin your computer and still keep all of your website's backgrounds?

Well, I assumed that, but is there anyway to get rid of that? It really messes up the way the websites look.

Control Panel - Display Properties - Windowblinds button - Basic Settings - Uncheck Skin Windows Backgrounds
or you can go to Per Application and add your internet browser to the list.

No, didn't work, and ontop of that this seems to be fairly permanent. When I unload windows blinds, all the backgrounds of all the websites are the color of my normal windows, white. I think something might've gotten changed in the registry?

I've also tried changing settings under tools/internet options/accessibility, which allows for you to disable and enable website defined colors, fonts, etc., but that didn't work either. Along with changing a few items in the advanced section of internet options.

I think you'd have to edit one of the classic colors in the skin in SkinStudio. Probably Background - Window, since that's most likely to change that color. I don't think the skins are at fault here, although you can fix it by editing the skin. The thing is that not all websites has a bg color defined in html, so the browser will just use the window background instead. At least, that's my guess.

The backgrounds dependent on the skins used.
