Menu bar in Firefox

Hi all... Just installed WB after years of not having it.. love it, but my FireFox Menu bar text isn't showing with any of the styles... Ideas?  There's dashed lines where "File", "Edit", etc... should be, but they appear when cursor hovers over.

I have also stumbled upon this problem. I don't know if skinners forget to skin the menu bar in Firefox (it's hidden by default) or if WindowBlinds doesn't skin this area correctly. I'm using Pale Moon now and it seems to skin fine with WB 10 on Windows 10. On Windows 7 I can't say because I use only WB textures with standard Windows Aero theme.

PS You should state which version of Windows and WB you are using.

Same here. Fresh new laptop with latest Win10 Creators update and I had to exclude skinning for Firefox and for MS Office programs as well. I tried 10.6.1 now, but it's all the same. For Office, like Word, when resizing the window to full, the title bar colapses and there is black overlay on top.

The bug of system clock disapearing if the taskbar is in vertical position has not been solved either. :-((

What version of Office are you using as they no longer have titlebars to skin (and have not in some time).

Regarding firefox, is the issue just the menu bar text?  If so that is a bug in Firefox itself with painting black text on what it believes to be a transparent background.  You can work around this by picking a firefox theme that does not use black for the menubar text.  We worked around this on the inactive tabs which experienced the same problem and will look to see if we can force a non black menu text colour too in the future.
