[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="62" id="3535269"] Sorry I originally thought you were talking about the black bar which appears on maximized Firefox developer edition windows with a small rounded rectangle for the min, max and close buttons. This is something only the firefox developers can change. [/quote] Ah, okay. Glad we're on the same page.
Seriously? Why would it be the Firefox devs' responsibility to make it work with WindowBlinds? How could I possibly convince them to do anything about it?
Oops ... almost perfect. There seems to be just a very minor issue: In Firefox dev and Firefox 37.0 (but not Waterfox), the titlebar sometimes loses transparency. It seems to happen when switching to Firefox from another application, sometimes when moving the window, and sometimes when the mouse has been over the titlebar and then moves away. The titlebar doesn't go completely opaque, but becomes about half as transparent as it should be. When it happens, ther
[e digicons]:D[/e] Beautiful! Waterfox, Firefox Dev, and standard Firefox 37.0 are all working. Great job, guys!
[e digicons]|-)[/e] It's just such an excellent product, it's hard to live without. Windows 8.1's default styling is terrible. At least I can get shadows with ShadowFX.
Firefox auto-updated to version 37.0 today. Now it also crashes on launch with WindowBlinds loaded. Hardware acceleration setting makes no difference. I have no choice but to stop using WindowBlinds now.
Further to the above.... The titlebar issue reappears in standard 32-bit Firefox when hardware acceleration is turned off.
Just to keep this thread up to date.... Brad asked me to try turning off hardware acceleration. This prevented the immediate crash in both Firefox Developer and Waterfox, but the titlebar issue remains. And I don't want to run without hardware acceleration.
Brad had me run a purge tool, reboot, and reinstall WindowBlinds. I chose one of the default skins and rebooted again for good measure; didn't change any other settings. It didn't change the results—Firefox Developer Edition and Waterfox both still crash immediately. I ran the SD Support Tool and sent the results to Brad in the hope that it will assist in reproducing the issue. I can make do with standard Firefox for now, since I figured out how to run two instan
[quote]I am afraid we do not support prerelease software like firefox developer edition. If you can reproduce the problem with the release version of firefox then please let us know.[/quote] Just installed standard Firefox 36.0.4 and amazingly, it works. But note: I see no indication that Firefox Developer Edition is considered "pre-release" software anymore. Waterfox 36.0.1 stil
Mine doesn't work even if I unload WindowBlinds. I have to either uninstall it or select the Windows Default theme and reboot.
[quote]Neil's suggestion to avoid using ODM for updating WB caught my eye. The titlebar issues with FF & PM were reportedly 'fixed' with 8.09 but persisted on my rig after updating to 8.09 using ODM. I remembered I really want to keep the installers saved so this time I D/L'd the installer from my account page and installed using it, which actually did fix the issue. So maybe Neil is on to something.[/quote] I don't use OD Manager at all. I downloaded the install
[quote]8.1 appears to have resolved the intermittent transparent titlebar issue with Pale Moon. 8.095 had not. Being a windows-optimized version of Firefox, might be worth trying to see if you have same problem. If it won't start, either, there could conceivably be a video driver issue. YMMV.[/quote] I have both Waterfox and Firefox Developer Edition installed. Both have the same problem.
[quote]This usually points to something else running which is interfering with WindowBlinds. Do you perhaps have any addins which might impact text rendering in FireFox, or any apps which force Direct3D settings on games?[/quote] It's not due to any Firefox add-on; it won't even start with -safe-mode. I don't play any games or anything at all with special Direct3D settings. My machine is only a few months old and still nice and clean.
[quote]Had same problem of FF crashing at launch. Ran in Safe Mode which worked and disabled all extensions. FF now worked. Eventually tracked problem down to Fire IE. Now looking for alternate IE tab - any suggestions ?[/quote] I've tried starting with -safe-mode and with -ProfileManager ... made no difference.
[quote]Please note that if the version in WB is shown as incorrect then the install did not take place correctly. The version shown in ODM or any other app is based on the version of the installer, the WB version is based on what the files themselves say. I would recommend against the use of ObjectDesktop Manager at this time as I believe all reports of this behaviour have come from installing via that. Please instead use the standalone installers.[/quote] I had the s
I had high hopes for this update because I have had the Firefox title bar issue for a long time. After installing it, however, I can't run Firefox or Waterfox at all! They both crash immediately on launch. I have been a paying Object Desktop user for thirteen years and maintain two Object Desktop subscriptions. I'm getting really fed up wit
Will the free version be updated? The cnet.com download link still shows v2.11. It sounds like I should wait until the problems others have mentioned here are fixed anyway.
The Firefox title bar issue is not fixed for me.
Is there a changelog somewhere?
Wow!! You guys do some amazing work. Anyone interested in doing VMware and Altiris SVS?
I just tried it from my computer at work, with the same results. Could there be a problem with my user account?
Actually, the first time I try to download something after opening a new browser window, I get the error below. Thereafter, I get the VBScript error mentioned above. I have no similar problems at any other site. Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e57' [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int. /download.asp, line 275
That wasn't it. I still get the error. It's not a pop-up error from my own machine; it appears in the main browser window, coming from the server. I've tried killing my cookies and clearing my temporary Internet files. Any other ideas? This started about a week or so ago.
Whenever I try to download anything from WinCustomize, I get this error: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0006' Overflow: 'cLng' /download.asp, line 271 I have successfully downloaded in the past. Can anyone help?
