Titlebar problems

from WinCustomize Forums

Just installed WB and SS on Win7. Only changed two settings, "Modern theme" and chose "Titlebar Rt-click rollup/down.
Chrome titlebar transparent and missing Min/Max/Close.
Thunderbird bar visible with buttons, but no rt-click action.
Explorer bar OK, but rwquires two rt-clicks and any click anywhere on display restores it.

The only window that's correct so far is WB Config.

I used WB on XP 2-3 years ago without these problems. Am i nissing something?
Thanks for any help.

The transparent title bar/missing buttons issue with some browsers is known & supposedly fixed in the latest WB, but still occurs with Palemoon on first launch on my rig.  Re-applying the skin fixes it here.  Minor annoyance but it works.  Apparently the browser designers keep messing with title bars with updates, giving Stardock a bit of a moving target.

While the right-click-rollup/down option is still supported by WB, it may not be compatible with the way Google, Mozilla, MS & others have designed their title bars (e.g., with tabs in them).  The WB Config window also rolls up/down with that option enabled here, but Palemoon (Firefox clone), Chrome, Tbird and MSOffice apps refuse to rollup/down with right click, and I see the same behavior with Windows Explorer that you describe.  So what you're seeing may be way it is & you're not missing anything.

Price of progress & all that. X|

OK, thanks for the comments. I tried experimenting with the Theme Editor, but that was too annoying -- every mouse click sends the cursor to the right side of my second monitor. All I really wanted WB for was to try to even out the font size inconsistencies between two different size (DPI) monitors. I'll keep looking.
