WB5 Problem with Firefox

Published on January 5, 2006 By MountainDragon In WindowBlinds

Using the latest beta build of WB5, I have a problem with Firefox version 1.5. Upon loading, the Firefox main window uses what appears to be the classic Windows theme. If I maximize the window, it changes to the WB theme I have loaded. If I then minimize and restore, the Title Bar is now blank, with no buttons.

My WB diag info:

Update: I have restored to my last WB version (5.00[b].006). Stardock Central still reports my WB installation as being 5.00[b].009, although the system info reports different file dates. The problem is still occurring in Firefox, with one correction to my original report: After restoring, the program title bar is gone. I have tried resetting Firefox to use the default theme, with no difference.

That happened to me with the Nebula theme, but then I switched back to another and the problem stopped. I figured it was a skin thing, not a WB issue, but I don't know...

It appears to be related to per pixel alpha support, as it doesn't happen in skins that don't have it.

I get this too!!! The only solution i found was to right click the firefox tab in the taskbar and choose maximise. That sorts it out.

And yes indeed its only on skins with per pixal alpha support. I've also noticed that occasionally some windows (only small ones like property windows) go blank -except for the border/frame remains. Again only on per pixel skins.

I wonder if this is related to the cursorxp problems?
