Mozilla Firefox and WindowBlinds

How come Mozilla Firefox doesn't react to WindowBlinds like IE does?

The dropdown menu's don't look like the ones in IE.

Because Firefox is already skinnable which means it's drawing it's UI pieces itself. All programs that draw their own UI are difficult at best for WB to tie into. Unfortunately there's not a whole lot SD can do about it either.

WB skins my Firefox and Mozilla just as well as it does IE, bit I'm not applying any different skins to FF or Moz. I'm on my lunch at work now, I'll have to check my FF settings when I get home and let you know.

WB skins my Firefox fine also, perhapes you have a theme already loaded.

I think hes talking about the menubar background and buttons. On my machine, WB skins (firefox) windowtop, scrollbars, buttons etc...
But it doesnt skin Status bar, menubar background, dropdown menus.....

Menu Items seem to be classic style.
Drop down background and drop down item is classic.
Toolbar buttons are skinned but not toolbar icons.
Everything else seems skinned.

It all depends on what Firefox theme is applied. WB will skin anything that is not skinned by the Firefox theme. WB skins my entire Firefox. I use the Qute Firefox theme and it only seems to skin the button icon images and nothing else, so WB takes care of the rest.

I tried Qute them and your right. Looks good too.

It still doesnt skin dropdown menus though.

Can these themes be edited??

I'm just using the default theme and WB is applying the background to the toolbars. It doesn't skin the drop-down menus, although it does apply the skin background color to the menus. [click on my screen name to see my screenshot]

If you want to skin the pulldown menus...http://cute.mozdev.org/

You can modify this skin to your liking as I have.

Those icons will definitely help me differentiate those menu items that are too similar. Thanks!
The actual menus in FireFox can't be skinned by WindowBlinds (or msstyle for that matter). There are some things you can do to make it look a bit better though: http://texturizer.net/firefox/tips.html#app_xpmenus
