WindowBlinds works fine with IE 8.  Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on "System info" then click the "Copy text" button. Paste that info here.

I'm using WB7 beta 2 and IE8 on Vista 32bit and the only issue I have is the tabs and command bar not being skinned.Everything else seems normal to me(although I may not be the best judge of "normal");P

What version of WindowBlinds are you using and what OS.

Like wise here, IE8 with Vista Home Premium 64bit and WB7 beta 2 with no problems.

The small input box problem was cleared up with an update in WB6, haven't seen it in WB7.

Yes this issue fixed in IE8 RC1 and WindowBlinds 6.3 onwards, the workaround for past issues are here on forums.

Basically on IE8 betas it was > Tools > > Internet Options > Advanced Tab > UNTICK Enable Visual Styles on Buttons and Controls in Webpages

everytime i install ie8 on vista, windows wont skin properly in the ietab section, actually it wont skin at all, and it gives me other griefs as well, so im sticking to ie7 for now

The small edit boxes and small buttons is actually a bug in IE8 not WindowBlinds so whoever you spoke to at Microsoft is incorrect.  They messed something up in IE.  Later versions of WB workaround the IE bug.

Hello, I have WB 6.3. I just installed IE 8.0 and got small edit boxes and small buttons on some Internet sites (eg.Google.fr ...etc). Is it possible to find some skins which dont make this problem, or have I update again WB. 

Is the problem fixed in WB 7.0 anf how much I have to pay again for an update ? Thanks

 Hi   VStylist

Typing only in black is also very morbid   :waaaa: :sheep: :hugme:    :moon:   

Is itn't ? :thumbsup:

You can buy a Black & white monitor, but I'm not sure this part is anymore available ...:(
