Help with ID'ing Windows 'Skinnable' elements within WindowBlinds

What Are the List Items?

from WinCustomize Forums

    Greetings all,

 

  I'm wondering whether anyone might tell me if there may exist somewhere a Site, Page, *.pdf or such, which explains and identifies what each of the things are in WB, in (the "Colours"  tab) - the List shown when selecting "Change Skin System Colours..." ..?

  Discounting those list items that are self-evident ('Window', 'Scroll-bar', etc.), I've no idea what most things are in that list.

  Is there any such help available anywhere?

  Many thanks for any help anyone may offer.

     Kind regards,

     Tia

You may pick up some clues here: Wincustomize Wiki

Or keep an eye on these threads:

One piece at a time part 1 - part 2 - part 3 - part 4 - part 5

Or..... do it the hardcore way: Download a/any skin. Alter different parts of the skin and see what does what. That's how I learned to skin WB, some 10 years ago. ;)

Hmm... I think you would be helped by looking at a tutorial for skinning a Blind. There you´ll get the names for most of the parts... :sun:   LINK

  Thanks much for the quick replies snowman and neone6.

  Unfortunately, I find no help in any of those links.

  I don't have Skin Studio nor time or inclination to create skins myself (tho' it would be very cool and frustratingly fun, I'll bet! - and I much admire and appreciate those who have and do!) - I'd just like to know what each of those Listed Items actually is ... So I can try to 'fix' a couple issues here in my favorite skin.

   :)  ..It looks as tho' that's what I'll have to do...  I was hoping for a less 'experimental' approach, but - ok...  I'll see then.

   Thanks again for the offered help and your kind replies guys - much appreciated.  :)

 

    Best regards,

   Tia

The best way to learn how Windowblinds 'tick' is by trial and error. :)
Due to it's intricate complexity there are no 100% complete list of 'WindowBlinds - what does what' - not even of SkinStudio (SKS), the tool to create the actual skins.
Would be real handy, though. :)
