Explorer problems

from Stardock Forums

I know this is probably a common problem and may seem rather like a dumb question, but when I use a skin for WB many of the fill-in boxes for my explorer have become so small that I cant even see what I type in them (ie. google search type box). I hope I am explaining this correctly. What I mean is like form boxes, like where you would type in a search, or perhaps ur name or address for a site.

Anyone have any clue how to fix this without having to completely exclude WB from skinning IE. Also if it helps any I am running IE 8.

This was fixed in latest builds of IE8 - released version and windowblinds, update your copy of wb to latest version 6.4.

Open Windowblinds, systemInfo Tab Copy/Paste details into here for more help.

Old work around open ie8 goto tools\internet options\advanced and unclick the option for enable visual styles on buttons and controls in webpages. Refresh page should do it, if not close/open ie8.

I do this always...I've yet to go to a website that matched a WB I was using.I recommend setting font colors option to 'let websites choose own colors' as well...using system colors can lead to problems.

 

I can get Firefox to do the font thing but I cant find the option for visual styles on buttons.Anybody know where that is?

Tools > Options > Content > Fonts and Colours in 3.5 well can unclick system colours and allow pages to choose their own colours used to be bit more I think.
