Is there a way to show the bblean skin titlebar on firefox?

 

I have it enabled, however it's pure white/ or transparent and not matching the titlebars of other windows.

Programmes like explorer.exe, chrome.exe, and firefox.exe do not like to be skinned. You have to add the process name to the exclusions.rc file so it will not be skinned.

 

If you want to skin it without glitches, firefox can use the plug-in "stylish" to customise its entire look using "CSS" code. Look up "firefox css" to learn more.

It would be nice if firefox could be skinned, and I do have a custom css but I want the bbleanskin titlebar to show on my firefox as well

Can't be done, unless you want weird results. There is a number of browsers around that are more conventional and CAN be skinned, unless you love your Firefox Explorer.exe can be skinned too, btw...

Yea, my ff is very nice looking, but I guess I can do without skinning it.

How do I skin explorer without the flickering?

Actually, how do you skin explorer? I would love it if explorer could match the rest of bb setup..

You mean you can't skin it? Have you disabled aero/metro?

[garydx25]

How would I go about doing that? 

 

I have Windows 8,1 with some sort of start menu replacement. I forgot its name because I haven't used the regular metro interface in forever.

I don't use 8 myself, but here is a post that might prove helpful: http://www.pcworld.c...ows-8-1-pc.html

You can skin explorer without disabling the Windows default Visual Style. The problem with most processes that "can't be skinned" is that they change the caption bar. Explorer does it by adding the address and search bars, along with the Previous and Next buttons. Chrome mixes in its tabs with the caption bar. Firefox adds its button and can display tabs in the caption bar. Paint adds icons and other stuff.   To get rid of the address and search bars, and the next/previous buttons, you can change a value in your Windows 8 Visual Style.   From nanami-tan.info:  

-Remove the Address bar/Explorer bar-   Using Style Builder, navigate to "Toolbars, Headers and Rebar > Rebar > NavBar > Basic > Base > Band" in the *.msstyles and adjust the "CONTENTMARGINS:MARGINS" to a negative value, as needed. Example: "0, 0, 0, -30".

I use bbLeanskin with Firefox here on Win7 64bit. Disable aero or transparencies in Windows first, then use a Firefox extension to move the menu.

edit: I'm guessing now that this is a Windows 10 thing, where Firefox has a new look comparable to Chrome. Never mind then.
