Question about buttons in IE when using certain themes

I have an interesting issue and maybe someone can shed some light.

It seems that when I apply some msstyle themes, like Crunky for example, there are buttons on some web pages that are unreadable (very dark with no font visible)

Is there a fix? It seems to happen mostly with black or dark colored themes

Here is an example

If this happens to me, I'll probably have two options:

1. Edit the .msstyle

2. Use a Firefox extension, Stylish to edit the appearance of a particular website, webpage or user interface.

I'll most probably opt for no.2, because you can edit a particular style without fear to break anything. If you know a bit about CSS, then Stylish it is...

For example, the Reply to Thread page, or create a new Thread, each of those buttons you've mentioned should have their own id or classes, by using these you can choose to style them using CSS.

Here's a quick try:

Now the problem is, if you visit alot of websites that require these kind of submit buttons, you'll have to edit them one by one, while editing .msstyle can do it globally. (You can probably style form buttons globally, I haven't searched for it yet)

For more info on Stylish, clicky here or here ;)

Hope that helps at least a bit!

I know css, but this happens all the time on websites with certain themes so I guess I will have to edit the msstyle..was just curious if anyone else had this problem and how they solved it..

Thank you!

I'm not 100% sure, but in the IE options there is something about skinning/not skinning controls in the page. The computer I'm on now is in Swedish... can't really read much :)

I've just tried dreadnaut's suggestion and it seems like it's working.. try these:

1. In IE, choose Tools > Internet Options

2. Choose the Advanced Tab

3. Scroll down to Browsing

4. Uncheck Enable visual styles on buttons and controls in web pages

5. Click OK

Thanks dreadnaut, this is new to me too! :D

Well, all that takes away the skinning on the buttons so I guess it will have to do

thanks guys!!
