No, it just means that Firefox doesn't trigger it. I've tried various Windows theming products over the years, and in my experience they all cause problems in some applications. WindowBlinds was pretty well behaved the last time I tried it, but even it caused weird problems in some applications. > I have no other way to apply visual themes in MS Windows. I understand--but since Windows does not support an API for theme switching, it all depends on how well the theme switcher authors have reverse engineered internal Windows interfaces.

I was just trying to set realistic expectations; getting it fixed may have to wait until someone who runs a patched system can take the time to track down the problem and come up with a fix. Making sure things work correctly in XP and Vista is a high priority, and we have dedicated resources for testing and verifying that they do. Making sure everything works on patched systems is by nature a much lower priority, but nothing's stopping someone from tracking it down and submitting a fix. I'm not saying it's *not* a bug in Chromium, but unless it happens with the standard vesion of uxtheme.dll, it seems more likely that the theme patch is what's at fault. --Amanda --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
