WB 3.1 IE Buttons

from WinCustomize Forums
I have several WinXP skins that don't seem to be properly skinning the buttons on IE6. For example - XP Cobalt by Alexandrie shows skinned IE buttons only on mouseover. It's the same with some others - I think the majority of the WinXP skins I have downloaded. Is this a known issue or am I just missing something?

It's intentional. Some prefer the flat look on the toolbar, others don't. I guess it's kinda in fashion right now to have them flat until mouseover.

Another reason you're seeing it more now than before is because WB3 allows you to skin the IE toolbar background, and making the buttons flat allows the skinned background to show through better.

Are you sure? The reason I'm questioning this is because I load the sage wb theme on the work computer and voila all ie buttons are skinned. Not so on the home machine - just the mouseovers. It's IE5 at work and IE6 at home. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone else have some insight here?

I know from making skins myself that the author can tuen it on or off. I did not know that this feature was dependent on the version of IE you're running. There is a similar situation that will soon happen. Starting with version 3.15 of WB, scrollbars will be skinned in IE, but only on 6.0.
