perhaps if your jeans dont fit, you should try someone else's?

there is something very soothing about stairing at my title bars and seeing little fishes swimming around. probably the cat in me
wise words OB to get rid of the startbar label, a nice WB skin, and no one will ever know
check out the aquarium skin, number 4 on the top downloads list as i type this. try: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=1&SkinID=2274
i give in i have been fighting off the demon hoards of hell for a while now, but while i was looking the other way stardock pulled a fast one, and out flanked me /me *sigh* it all started when the winXP beta's arrived at work. at first most of the office was going on endlessly about how it was so useless and bloated, taking time out to complain that i was slowing down my work machine terminally by running window blinds. this was irritating, but after a while i got used to it.<
have the halucinations started nocking on the windows of your mind yet? i am not sure that i am going to be that useful this weekend but then, the deadline is only 5pm today (its now 7-30pm), and the penalties are only supposed to be on the order of the whole company gets to go under. good thing they are stretching it till monday. anyway, who needs illegal drugs? i have s
what are parents? /me hasnt progressed as far as craeonics
no no no! you are a person you have rights! people are not alowed to beat you! /me is currently on the up part of the manic depressive cycle i am still around, but i have been running on stress and suger for the last few weeks at work, doing stupid hours to boot hopefully i will get
this pain is very real for the second time today all my windows title bars and borders, along with half the content, have just disapeared from the screen. running out of resorces on win98 all the time just isnt healthy!
/me wonders why so many of the early posts are from England - probably time zones somewhere beyond the edge of the universe, although one of my bodies is currently in England, Cornwall.
i have heard that you can set a different skin for the XP start bar to the main windows skin in XP. is it possible you have done this, but selected a title bar skin that doesnt actually contain an XP title bar section?
and thats only the first stage! later stages are even more terrifying!
a further thought, would it be sensible to post simple instructions on finding / using this on the windowblinds newsgroup? lots of people using win9x are still posting about the fact that the skins list in displays properies isnt alphabetical. using the "big" front end gives a sorted list, solving this problem most neatly.
DOH! i didnt realise that this had already shiped i will have a look when i get home. bit of a mute point at work given this machine will only run WB 2.21b thanks for that
makes purrfect sense to me
Frogboy - Alexandrie has uploaded the skin.
TheGreenReaper - Now, IE only has to worry about theming on XP. There, too, IE paints it's own scrollbars, but it does it by finding out what the scrollbars look like on it's own. Since it only does this on XP, though, WB can only skin it on XP. yep, that is what i understood. however, my question is, can the "bit" of IE that does this be "ported" across to other versions of windows? i suspect that this may be possible by hacking around with the dll type files. i dont lik
/me decides to play devils advocate so does this mean that someone can argue that WB is still making a heavier demand than XP skining? it sounds like XP adds this dll to every skinned process. but WB3 uses this dll, plus its own, so it adds a greater load to every process. /me gets board of the devil not having XP, this is basically academic to me, but still very amusing
Frogboy - MS only made IE6 skinnable on XP. /me wonders. . . is this tied to a specific dll (type of thing)? the idea is, is it possible to port this skinability to other OS's by playing with replacement dll's? if so, can it be done cleanly by windowblinds at some point? /me doesnt fancy hacking a working OS just for IE scroll bars
on the origional link, are the fish in the title bar animated? /me thinks that would be cool and if so, is that skin available anywhere publicaly?
Griffinme - Support for .png or .tga? from the news artical about the release of the new version of skin studio: * It is now much easier to alpha blend parts of the GUI. WindowBlinds 3.1, for instance, supports TARGA (.tga) files with an alpha channel.
i think to a degree what is needed is just some tidying up of the interface. for example the new drag target to get program name for setting excluded applications is a significant usability gain. one of the things i am still waiting for is the reapearance of the main, sortable, list of skins to select the desired one from. remember all the excitement in the newsgroups when it was anounced the new look WB 2 was going to use for skin selection? it seems wrong to loose t
Frogboy - We also want to try to find a way, if possible, to cache skins. /me *drool* of course i hopefully will have upgraded by the time this is done, but still, got to love the idea!
if so, then they work wonderfully with coolplayer. what more could you possibly want
/me wonders what to make of the fact that crae is hiding in the basement with inflatable dolls how do you think cats get 9 lives so easily? the spare inflatable cats are for leaving in dangerous situations while the real cat watches from a safe vantage point
