You can have an image for the 'all programs' button, but the mouseover for it is a solid colour which is definied in the colours section as: Menu - highlighted text (XP only) The other items in the left and right panes use the panelitem image.
I find the news posts take quite some time to load, especially if there's 100+ comments already there.
That's ok, hehe, no offence was taken or anything.
You don't need Winzip, since you're using Logons, that means you have XP, and XP has built in zip decompression. You just right-click the zip and choose the extract option.
The guy replied to my mail and even gave me some rubbish about him thinking it was free because it ws an alpha. >
Murassmeblade, we are not a community skin site, Skinplant is the personal site of Mike and I.
Icon text by default is automatically set to black or white depending on what the bg colour of the desktop is. It's white on dark bg's, and vice-versa.
Most people don't lock because they don't lock it in geenral use, I would presume. Besides, if a skin is well made, the resizers and grippers will look good anyway.
I think the WMP skin comes with one of the newer versions of WMP.
Crae, my reply was : "In a word, no."
So, how many WB skinners also got this e-mail from some scammer trying to blag a free alpha of WB4, I know Gabriel got it too, so that's what makes me sure he's a geniune cheapass conman: From: "Eric Plett" I saw your Stinger theme on WinCustomize and I think it looks great but I was wondering if you could maybe send me just the Alpha of WindowBlinds 4 so I can test the theme out. Thank you.
My copy of WB5 isn't skinning the Shellstyles. ANyone know why?.....
And the masks have to be greyscale (Only using black and white in them). Areas of white will have their colours changed when cusotm colouring is set, and black areas will be ignored. Mid tones between these two, i.e. shades of grey, will be blended accordingly.
*wipes away a tear*. I remember when it was just a little Builderblinds, couldn't have more than this high *lifts hand* Ahh, it's all grown up now. I love this prog.
I think this is a moot thread guys. Unlesss someone else stumps up the cash and resources, there won't be another GUI Olympics.
I'm currently in training for the skin shot putt. At present, I am able to lob a Winamp 3 skin over a bus.
I got 7 out of 10 as well. The hammer, grass and pile of nails all threw me, I thought they were real.
Best place to get inspiration is everyday objects. Anything from audio equipment to flowers has something that can be used as the basis of a work. The thing to remember is that although you'll see a lot of great artists out there who never seem to make a bad skin, just remember that they have about 1/2 that many unreleased skins that were probably not very good. Inspiration comes at the weirdest times, and sometimes you wait a long time between flashes of it.

I agree with everything Paxx said. Especially the part regarding people submitting work simply for praise. That seems to be the big thing lately, which is quite sad.
Or got to the hall or records, and change your real name to match the one in your profile. Another useless idea, brought to you by skinplant.com..... *The Swedish judges say 9 out of 10 for shameless site
2000 doesn't support alpha-blended icons, Mirical. It's actually a Windows problem, and not the icons.
/me looks at Treetog and winks. Me too.
No rudeness intended to you folks, but have any of you actually tried opening up the helpfile that comes with DX? It's a full blown tutorial, which I believe was done by _Martin_ there ^^^
You have to enable to attribute in the UIS file that tells the skin it has to use titlebar button sounds.
I spend so much time at the PC, my life has become a blur. I recently tried to put some nice wallpaper on my Windows..........
