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.

Bootskins in XP can only be of a real low resolution (I believe its 640 x 480)and only in 16 colours. Those limitations are due to the fact that at the moment Bootskins gets displayed on your screen, windows hasn't loaded yet (obviously), and can't take full advantage of your graphics card yet.

Have a look at the previews of the Bootskins you downloaded (just click onto the thumbnails) and see whether they look different there than on your system. You will see that they look rather coarse as well. If not, the author of the bootskin might have 'cheated' a bit and uploaded the preview in a higher resolution.

well, you can sorta... but it will take effort on your part to create it

with a careful selection of the palette and placement of the colors, it won't seem to be too blurry when loaded
