StyleXP clash with FireFox

leroy_yorel · 12-25-2005, 02:21 PM

I use StyleXP to make my computer look cool and stylish. But it also carries over partially to my FireFox browser as you can see in this picture:

I have Silver Skin and the buttons on my address bar up there are altered by the StyleXP. I don't know how to make them look like Silver Skin is supposed to. Do you?

If the change to Style XP occurred after the Silver, it may have overridden the Silver. You can try re-installing or updating the Silver theme.

The titlebar (uppermost section) of any application is a Windows rendered feature, therefore StyleXP, which modifies the Windows interface will also modify that titlebar. I use StyleXP and FF also. It does the same thing on my system. As far as changing the buttons goes, that would depend on how the theme was written. Some of my themes are not affected by StyleXP, others are.

Luck!

PS: Do you know anywhere to d-load Style XP themes and visual styles other than ThemeXP? I stopped using the ThemeXP website about a year ago. Right after they started packaging the themes and v-styles in .exe formats loaded with adware/spyware crap. :(

I know, I hate downloading themes from there because of that hassle. I don't know of any other places to get them but I'll look around.

It's a shame that they did that. That used to be a wonderful site for XP Themes/Visual Styles. :(
