Firefox still being skinned after being excluded.

Either I'm doing something wrong or something isn't working right.

I want to completely exclude Firefox from being skinned so I added firefox.exe to the exclusion list. Yet when I load FF, it's still skinned. Why is that? And what info do you need to help me? I'm using XP and WB6.

Make sure it is set to fully exclude FF in the settings, as well as use the original skin.

Also you do realize FF utilizes its own skins as well, so even tho WB may be excluded from skinning it , it will still be skinned by the App it's self.

Also remember that if you are using a FF beta, it's installed in a separate directory than FF.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm using FF2 and I have total exclusion checked. I also tried checking the dropdown for using a different skin for that one app and even that doesn't work. It still skins it with whatever windowblinds I have chosen for the rest of the system.

I know it's the windowblinds skinning it because the browser theme will change if I change windowblinds, even with total exclusion checked.

Post your sysinfo from the WB config.

I just realized that the only skinning that is happening is the colors. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to work? I was under the impression that if an app is totally excluded then it should look like it would if windowblinds were not installed at all.

I believe that the system colors will always be applied.

Ah, okay .... I'm assuming you mean windowblinds colors vice operating system colors. Either way, I can live with it. Thanks for the replies guys.

WB By nature changes the System/Windows Color settings with each skin applied. So yes WB would still recolor any unskinned items, as it can not remove System wide color settings to that specific application. As you change from skin to skin WB will change the system wide color settings to match those specified in the skins settings.

How ever in tools/options/content/colors,In FF settings. You may be able to override Color usage by FF. I havent messed around in there lately, so I do not remember the full scope of the color settings that can be adjusted. But it may be worth a shot...

Hope this helps...

Yup. It explains it perfectly for me and thanks. I'll go play with the settings.
