Reply to mdibuttons in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote]In my experience, even when skinned mdi buttons are displayed (when frames are non-perpixel), they still don't behave correctly in apps like Excel & Word - the default/normal state is correct but mouseover & pressed states don't display as set in SkinStudio. The 'normal' image remains on mouseover & the 'mouseover' image is displayed when the button is pressed. The 'pressed' image never appears.[/quote] I discovered that a long time ago too. I just lived with

[quote]ah, and that raises a couple of questions. so, if I set my per pixel frames and buttons to "none" then I will override the default settings and then I can skin the rebar and mdibuttons, of say excel? Is this also impacted by other perpixel graphics (logoffdialog/shutdowndialog, etc). and, I'm wondering what the advantage of using per pixel frames would be unless one is making a non-standard shaped frame. ( sudden thought, my borders are usually 10 pixel height/wid

wimpy, are you using per pixel frames? If you are, there is no way to get rid of the default classic mdibuttons. The skinned menubar and mdibuttons are not used with per pixel frames. Instead, the classic menubar and mdibuttons are used. Those midi buttons get their color from the classic button face color. In regular frames (not per pixel), you have to use a bmp image. If you are wanting to use a round shape for those buttons, I am thinking you can, but

wimpy, you are limited to using a bmp in XP. But, I don't even use buttons anymore. I just use the glyphs...entails a lot of magic pink, but at least I don't have to look at square buttons. However, if you make per pixel frames, your skinned mdibuttons will not show up. The classic menubar and mdibuttons are used from the classic colors section...so, in that instance, you will have those yucky default buttons. [e digicons]^_^[/e]

[quote]Cleartype \ Antialiasing does not work in per pixel frames in WB.[/quote] I have clear type and anti-alisising enabled with my fonts in both regular and per-pixel frames...and they work fine. nickdc, are you saving the changes in skin studio?

Reply to Hurricane Gustov in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

New Orleans officials seem to have their acts together this time. They brought in tons of busses to evacuate people. The people have a choice of going to Shreeveport by bus, or someplace in Tennessee (I can't remember the name of the city) by train. New Orleans is not going to have shelters this time...and told people that if they refuse to leave, they are on their own...will not have any services. From all reports, the people are listening and getting outa there. And they have ID bands for

Having lived in New Orleans during the "Great Flood" of 1995, I have first hand knowledge of how devastating severe weather is in New Orleans. New Orleans is below sea level....picture a bowl...New Orleans is at the bottom of that bowl. Please keep those folks affected by this monster hurricane in your thoughts and prayers. This hurricane is extremely dangerous...is at 150 miles an hour now, just 6 miles an hour shy of being a Category 5 hurricane.! New Orleans is sl

Reply to How do you Create XP file Animations in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I use Animation Shop, which comes with Paint Shop Pro, to make my animations. The one thing to remember, regardless of what program you use for your animations, is that they must be saved as .avi files in order to be used with windowblinds.

Well, I can't use Impulse! I am still running IE 6 on one of my computers (laptop)...I tried IE 7 on it, and it crashed everything. So, for my sake, I hope SDC stays around for a long while. I have not tried Impulse on my desktop yet....am used to SDC and will probably continue to use it as long as it ia available. I do not download any games, so that is not an issue for me.

Reply to Glitchy skinning issue in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I don't maximize Photoshop either....I just have the edges dragged to where it looks like it is maximized. And I have it skinned as well...works for me. Interestingly though, I can run Paint Shop Pro maximized without any problems...go figure! I think it is something with Photoshop, since I can run every other program maximized without problems.
