Hi,

Working here too just fine.

WinXP Prof SP1 and WB 4.1

skinning of MY Favorites menue works fine for me

Mine also. And I am still on 4.0.

3.5 on WIN ME doesn't skin it either.

by Citizen Spawn1973 - 7/18/2003 7:18:08 PM Window blinds 4 is skinning all of the menus in all of my programs, except the favorites menu in Internet Explorer, is there any way to fix this???? Thanks

These responses kind of puzzled me....so let's thin them out a bit . Anybody using WindowBlinds and WebBlinds and the Favorites Menu is skinned, hold up your hand

I don't know why you're going thru Display Properties, but........just open WindowBlinds proggie and load any skin it shows you............

when i open windows blinfs it take me to display properties

The favorites menu will skin in IE, although there are a few limitations still. There is a colored box around the folders and also you can't change the Mouse Over text color (as far as I know), other than that it seems fine to me

If you're using a different WebBlinds skin most, if not all, will not skin the background or the folder icons. Gary if you know a way around that let me know, cause I've just learned to live with it..

When you open WindowBlinds it should open....well.....WindowBlinds. You might want to try a clean re-install and see if that sorts out your problem

It used to not work for me, when I had Windowblinds4, but now with 4.1, it skins the Favorites menu fine. And I have the problem with WebBlinds and the backgrounds for the toolbars, too. WebBlinds doesn't fix the Favorites menu, either. A lot of problems to fix.

My bad yrag...I thought you were speaking of Windowblinds

My favorites menu is fully skinned. Mouseovers and everything. I DO NOT have WebBlinds installed and I'm running WB 4.1 on XP Pro.

Currently using Empire by Agneva (incase its a skin-specific issue)

If I only use WindowBlinds, it works fine. The problem is (and I think it's the answer to the original question) if you use WebBlinds it will not work. I use WebBlinds to utilize the different toolbars and throbbers, so I just consider it a trade off........

BTW, no problem........I think me and maybe two other people in the land of Oz are the only one's still using WebBlinds.......

yrag, you should really checkout Y'z Toolbar. You have a much better selection of toolbars...you just can't change the throbber though. http://www.designtechnika.com/main/modules.php?modid=1&action=cat&id=3

Sir Hus - Thanks, I'll try that
