New IE Skin problem

February 17, 2007 9:40 PM from

Ugh, I have the new internet explorer and now when I load windows blinds the IE looks like garbled CRAP up top near the tabs and such. I also have the google toolbar and its garbles and such too.

Is there any skins out there that have been made for the new IE?

Annoyed,

Oh my!...have you rebooted,reloaded WB,moved or unloaded toolbars yet?
I dont have IE7 yet...from the looks of it,I dont want it.Firefox skins better than that.
Does IE7 have a skins section under 'tools>preferences' like Firefox?

Nope. And Yes. I have rebooted, reloaded, took off the tool bars and reloaded them too. Pain in the butt! Tabbed browsing is all cool and all that but GEEZE! *kicks*

I want the old IE back....T.T

That's a mess. It should look much cleaner except for unskinned tabs which supposedly works under Vista. It looks like the google toolbar is causing the problem. I would try unloading/uninstalling that.

All WB skins? IE7 works perfect on mine...but I don't use the Google toolbar. That would be my guess too.

Well IE7 on XP won't be skinned by Windowblinds (it has its own skinning engine - the tabs and toolbar icons), not sure what's going on with the rest though.

IE7 has its own skins? Huh? *look around like an idiot*

Well not that I know of, but I mean the program skins itself. It doesn't take well to 3rd party programs that want to skin it, so it refuses and uses its own built in tabs and icons. I hear it's supposed to be skinnable on Vista though.

I'd swear you have another bar peeking out between the address bar and the google bar.

Seeing that your profile doesn't list you as a current customer..do you have the paid or trial version of WB? And if paid, what build. Posting your WB info would help.
