[quote who="don5318" reply="28" id="3749512"] Boy, that sure is a big leap! How does Master skinners selling skins have to do with your issue, or for that matter, support?! As someone who normally doesn't use Opera, I bent over backwards to try and recreate your problem, so as to tell you what needs to be done to fix it on your end, did you give any of us a thank you, NO, you seem to continue to go on a bashing episode of Stardock and it's support, cause as of yet, no one has been able t

One of the reasons that I switched to Opera some time ago was that there were compatibility problems with 10.6 and Firefox. Of course the program generally works well with Win7, it's essentially a Win 7 program, it hasn't changed much over the years and my experience has been that it works fine unless you use your browser a lot. That's not all that surprising when you consider how much browsers like FFox and Opera have changed in recent years. Also, as far as support goes, there are f

I'm going to try restoring Opera to it's default settings when I have the time and see what happens. That's kind of a hassle as it involves switching profiles. Since it works fine with the old WindowBlinds there really isn't a pressing need to fix this. Also, Basj, I notice that WindowBlinds has skinned the window frame in your screenshot, it never skins Opera on my system even though it's not excluded, as you can see below.Also, I have two dozen speed dial elements, including 9 folders full

I'm using 60.0.3255.84. I also found that the same problems showed up with Opera Beta, which is a separate installation. It looks like the extensions that were disabled were one that display icons in the toolbar, since that wasn't displaying properly those extensions wouldn't work. Also the address bar dropdown that shows you the mini- speed dial wouldn't display properly.

Doesn't matter what WB theme is applied, once the latest update is applied tabs go black and stay that way no matter what, even if WB is completely uninstalled or rolled back to an earlier version. Some setting gets changed that can't be restored without re-imaging the whole disk. I think I made a mistake upgrading to the new WB10 when I'm still on Windows 7. It doesn't add anything but it does seem to cause some compatibility issues. <div id="kpm_content_wrapper"

Reply to Problem With Firefox in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

The problem is that once the text color has been turned to black nothing will change it. Changing themes, going to the default theme, uninstalling WB, uninstalling and re-installing FF, even a system restore back to before the WB update doesn't work. The only thing that fixes the problem is a system image restore. The problem isn't related to any WB theme. Just updating to the latest version somehow affects that one single FFox setting that governs tab text color, and it only affects

I've run into an unusual problem with the latest WindowBlinds version. It turns the text on active Firefox tabs black, as in the screenshot here . This happens even if Firefox is excluded. Been using WB and FFox for years, never seen this before. Anybody know how to fix this ? OS is Win 7, thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Yes, I just installed and it works beautifully. They fixed a bug I posted about in another thread where there was a problem changing the desktop background color, important if you use walls less than full size. I didn't initially like the new UI but I have to admit it's kind of growing on me.

WB8 and Windows Color and Appearance App in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

There seem to be quite a few problems with WB8. Amongst other things, when you apply a skin it usually changes the desktop color. If you want to keep your own choice of desktop color then, previously, you had to right click on the desktop, go to personalization and change it in the advance settings, Windows 7 color and Appearance app. Now, in WB8, when you go into the Color and Appearance app and change the desktop color it indicates that it's doing that but the color doesn't
