Firefox 3 Release & Stardock Site Compatibility
Jul 30, 2008 12:59

Firefox 3.0 goes final and is scheduled for release on Tuesday, June 17th.

There are currently known incompatibilities between Firefox 3 and many of our sites and forums. For the most part, the sites function properly, but have formatting issues. A specific example are the login & password fields to log into these forums. In Firefox 3, instead of both being on the same line, they are stacked vertically.

We will be addressing these visual issues in time. Please do NOT post threads on the forums pointing out Firefox 3 site issues. They will be deleted. We are aware of the problems and will work as quickly as we can to resolve them.

Until posted otherwise, the only version of Firefox our sites support at the moment is Firefox 2.

Start menu "glow" simply isn't working

By Posted April 29, 2008 00:29:22
Okay, so I want to create a start button that "pops up" just like in other skins - but somehow, my own custom skin isn't doing it. It appears fine in the previews, but when I finally apply it to my system it doesn't work and my button is just cut off every time. It appears the "glow" just isn't getting applied, even though "always show start button glow" is on, and the Top and Bottom settings are correct. Any ideas?

Perhaps a picture will help?

Tested in XP on a virtual machine, and it seems to work, with some bugs. Dunno what's up, or why XP actually works better than Vista, even though Vista is the first OS to really have a button that extends beyond the Start menu.

Humm - made some modifications to the image, and the problem disappeared - quite possibly could've been a corrupted TGA file?

click Edit start menu and taskbar to get that section. Click Edit Horizontal Taskbar to get the dialog up. Click "Glow" under start button, Select Extra Settings, and make sure "always display start button glow" is enabled. If it's not, then enable it. This will allow you to see it no matter what.
