Afraid it is not going to anytime soon.  Browsers are just changing too much - too often.

I hear you and understand completely. Keeping Windowblinds running without errors has become very difficult with all the changes to Windows, browsers and all the apps we use.

Yes... it feels like a never ending battle and it gets tiring often. Sometimes I feel like saying to heck with it and just accept the default Windows 10 skin on my main PC. My personal laptop and my computer at work are not using WB, so it would not be much of a change.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know if that the link in your account or do the "Check for update" button in your Windowblinds config -> About ?

Thanks

Neither option works. The link on the first message points to a "My Downloads" page, and the version I downloaded from it has the same size and filename as the file I downloaded yesterday. And using the "Check for Updates" option in the WB says that no updates were found.

Same with me. Version 10.82 showing in my downloads page, & checking from within the program, shows No update found. I reside in India, so maybe thats the reason ?

Great - except 10.83 isn't working with Firefox. I understand the WB challenge so want to reinstall 10.82 which did work. Where do I find 10.82?

Always keep copies of what you download. I have kept mine for years. Just in case.

I still have a copy of 3.41 that installed on my XP machine.

It still shows v10.82 on my downloads page. Anyway, I managed to download v10.83 through the url, and installed it.

I have system-wide backups done weekly on all computers.  I just overlooked the most recent backup until 10.82 was staring me in the face.O:)

It still shows v10.82 on my accounts\downloads page. Of course, I manage to download v10.84 through the url, but can someone help and rectify this ? Opening a ticket, unfortunately, got me nowhere.

It should be resolved for anyone seeing older versions in an hour - sorry for the trouble.

Option to allow FireFox titlebar to be skinned

I do not see an option to allow Firefox to be skinned anywhere in the latest release.  So, am I missing something?  Or, is there some special change like what was done for Chrome to get it to work?
