Firefox 4 incompatible?!

April 2, 2011 6:41:03 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Firefox 4 seems to be incompatible with Windowblinds, or at least the Encounter skin anyway, I've had the following problems:-

Minimise and Maximise controls disappearing when Firefox 4 window maximised

Unable to click the buttons that are at the far left and far right of the window when the window is maximised

Even with skinning disabled for Firefox 4, I was not able to solve these problems without disabling Windowblinds entirely and going back to boring standard Aero, lame!

Activate the menu bar in FF 4 and the problem is solved. For me it has certainly worked.

It's the best option but, with the menu bar activated right click for roll up/roll down doesn't work.

Tick show prereleases in Impulse and install the latest WB beta.  Should be fine then.

The problem is Firefox 4 does not like large titlebars and paints a solid black bar over the titlebar when it finds the titlebar is large (no I don't know why either) so we have implemented a workaround for FireFox 4.

Neil, with the pre-release version of Windowblinds, Firefox 4 gets its minimise and maximise button back, but it is still impossible to click any buttons on the far left or far right of the Firefox window when it is maximised, unless you show the menu bar in Firefox.

I can also report that Firefox is still not showing correctly using Windowblinds without having the menu bar showing. I'm using the beta version of Windowblinds 7. I have to pick a skin that 'looks' ok with the default Firefox theme (Koi looks nice). Other themes work fine, it is only the default theme or themes that that the default are based on, such as 'Strata'.

Which OS are you on?

Firefox and WindowBlinds should be working fine together now.

I am having problems with FF 5 and WB 7 beta f too.   Win 7 64 bit.  Line at top. Most skins do it, if not all.
