WB10 not skinning every app

Hi all. I just installed WB10 and it seems to not work on a few apps, most notably Firefox. Is there a reason why? It also doesn't skin the OS stuff, like the control panel windows, but I suspect it can't.

Also, can someone recommend an AV program since WB10 and NOD32 don't get along?

TIA.

Universal Windows apps (like settings) do not use the OS titlebars (they just look similar) and are not skinnable.

Firefox for reasons best known to the devs, chose to implement their own fake titlebars. Unfortunately this is outside our control. This is also only the case on Windows 10, I think on Windows 7/8 they use standard titlebars and are skinned.

What issues are you having with NOD32 and WindowBlinds?

I could not add an exception for WBcore. For some reason it would not let me add it, even though i followed the instructions as best I could. NOD32 has changed a few steps since those instructions were written.

I just dumped NOD32 for Panda.

Firefox will skin nicely using a 'Test Pilot' feature called "Tab Center" which puts tabs on the left side and completely eliminates the Title Bar function.

Might not be everyones cup of tea,but...

How do I set it up? BTW I already use a vertical tab stacker add on.
