How do you disable skinning in Internet Explorer?

from WinCustomize Forums
Using some of the WindowBlinds skins makes viewing in Internet Explorer hard to read. I would like to completely disable any skinning in Internet Exploer. I put in "iexplore.exe" in the per application in WindowBlinds 5 to disable skinning and it had no effect. Anyone know how to do this?

Did you hit the apply changes option after adding the iexplore.exe.?

Yes. I've noticed some other programs I choose to unskin don't change either. Seems once WindowBlinds is active, it pretty much takes control of everything.

Never mind, I see what's happening. I was assuming skins were the same as colors. I can disable the skins but the WindowBlinds colord remain. Nothing I can do about that. A lot of these skins are not well thought out. Sometimes you pop something up with a dark font on a dark background making it almost unreadable. This happens a lot viewing webpages.

That will happen if the webpages are poorly designed.  If they are going to hardcode the text colour or the background colour in a page then they need to hardcode both!  Otherwise colour scheme changes on the users PC will spoil the look of their website and may make it unusable.
