Reply to Object Bar 0.90 and Windowblinds in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

i just tried this again last night on win2k, and it no longer works. which versions of OB and WB are you using currently? and what happens when you try this? i am running WB 3.10, and when using OB 0.90 i got a dialog box saying that the theme was being converted, and then it appeared once the progress bar hit 100%. however, i have just upgraded to OB 0.95, and can no longer convert the aquarium WB theme. again the dialog box appears, and the progress bar goes upto 1

its a white fluid, often in a small pot with a brush. you use it to paint over incorrect words on paper, and then when it has dried, you write over the top, putting down the correct version. personally i think it is a waste of time, since my words are just fine as i write them

as i understand it WB isnt so tightly integrated into win2k as it is in winXP, so if you applied a bad skin it would be easier to get out of it in win2k

Frogboy - Why must toddlers constantly open up and put..things...into the CD ROM drives of computers? this is what comes of not using the cd-rom drives properly. if you used them as cup holders (which is surely their proper function), then everything would just go into the cup. much easier, just so long as you didnt intend to drink that coffie

on the question of this animation, do you mean you want to overlay the animation on only bits of the window border? say, overlay the animation on the top border, and top 50% of each side border only? if that is what you want, then one idea would simply be to have 3 sets of animation frames. one set is the top border (title bar), and is animated along its full length. then the other two sets are only animated for the top 50%, so the botton half of the side bord
