IE8 vs WB

IE8

August 16, 2009 1:38:38 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I don't supose anyone uses IE8. with Window Blinds???

This upgrade, I tried it and Nope.. Window Blinds apparenty from what Microsoft says, you can't use it(IE8) cuz it messes up my

boxes where I type in things. Makes them micro small. So it's either don't use the Microsoft IE8 upgrade or get rid of Window Blinds....  ......

WindowBlinds works fine with IE 8.  Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on "System info" then click the "Copy text" button. Paste that info here.

I'm using WB7 beta 2 and IE8 on Vista 32bit and the only issue I have is the tabs and command bar not being skinned.Everything else seems normal to me(although I may not be the best judge of "normal")

What version of WindowBlinds are you using and what OS.

Like wise here, IE8 with Vista Home Premium 64bit and WB7 beta 2 with no problems.

The small input box problem was cleared up with an update in WB6, haven't seen it in WB7.

Yes this issue fixed in IE8 RC1 and WindowBlinds 6.3 onwards, the workaround for past issues are here on forums.

Basically on IE8 betas it was > Tools > > Internet Options > Advanced Tab > UNTICK Enable Visual Styles on Buttons and Controls in Webpages

The small edit boxes and small buttons is actually a bug in IE8 not WindowBlinds so whoever you spoke to at Microsoft is incorrect.  They messed something up in IE.  Later versions of WB workaround the IE bug.

Hello, I have WB 6.3. I just installed IE 8.0 and got small edit boxes and small buttons on some Internet sites (eg.Google.fr ...etc). Is it possible to find some skins which dont make this problem, or have I update again WB. 

Is the problem fixed in WB 7.0 anf how much I have to pay again for an update ? Thanks

I believe that the problem you have was cleared up in WB version 6.4.

Open IE8 go to => Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab > Then untick the following : "Enable visual Styles on Buttons and Controls in Webpages" => Apply > ok > close window > close IE8 then relaunch 

Look now :  No more small edit boxes or small buttons with any skin in WB 6.3 !

Typing in color is annoying.

 Hi   VStylist

Typing only in black is also very morbid         

Is itn't ? 

You can buy a Black & white monitor, but I'm not sure this part is anymore available ...
