Reply to Clock display in the SystemTray in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Tarkus: Font size doesn't seem to have any effect. Some of the skins that display all 3 lines have font sizes much larger than those that only show 2 lines. Cavan1: I tried setting the top/bottom content margins to zero, but that didn't change anything either. Of course, I'm not 100% sure I changed the "content margins" for the right item either. hahaha Yes, dragging my Taskbar up to 3-high, from the double height I now have it does display th

Clock display in the SystemTray in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I much prefer to have the SystemTray clock display 3 lines; Time, Day and Date rather than 2 lines; Time and Day. What needs to be changed in SkinStudio to modify an existing skin that has just the 2 lines to display all 3 lines? THANKS!

Reply to IE icon doesn't change in IconPackager Stardock Forums

If I may impose upon your, or anyone else's wisdom, once again, I noticed I am also have a similar problem with the "My Network Places" icon on the Desktop. In this case, if I revert to the default Windows XP icons, that particular icon changes to an IP package icon rather than the XP default icon. It will change, although with some hesitation and only after clicking "refresh" on the Desktop to the current icon of the IP package I'm using. Anyone have a "fix" to resolve this one? Everyt

j dott, Yes, and that is the problem, re: weather.com. Again, 1) I'm in Canada and 2) in a remote location, so consequently, those locations that do have weather reporting aren't available on the weather.com site, although they are available on the Canadian weather website http://www.weather.ca. What I was hoping for was a way to change this "script" being referred to so that it would access the Canadian weather site rather than what it is con

Reply to IE icon doesn't change in IconPackager Stardock Forums

Cavan1, Thanks..... that worked perfectly. I first deleted the two icons (shortcuts) I had. Also, I didn't have a the IE icon (shortcut) on my Desktop, so I had to go into the Display Properties/Desktop/Customize Desktop section and put a check to have it displayed. Then I dragged a copy of that Desktop shortcut (icon) to the Quick Launch Bar and my Start Menu and finally returned to the Display Properties, etc... and unchecked Internet Explor

IE icon doesn't change in IconPackager Stardock Forums

The IE icon on neither the Quick Launch Toolbar or Start Menu change when I change icon packages. I can manually change them using their respective "Properties" however. Or, if I open IP and go to "Icons and Cursors" and click on the "Quick Launch" tab, it shows the current icon and I can change it to the actual icon for the package being used. However, if I click on the "Start menu" tab, the icon for IE of the current package already shows even though

Reply to Why do the new versions of IP crash on my computer? in IconPackager Stardock Forums

IP (3.00.089) opens okay on my system (XP SP-2) but I do get an error when I try and delete an installed icon package. The error basically says that it cannot delete the package and to try and reinstall it again. So, for now, I simply delete the folder of the set I want to delete through Windows Explorer.

If you are running Win XP, then Tclock is only partially compatible. The author never upgraded the program to work 100% with XP and there is no indication that he ever will. That's just the way it is.

Specifying Toolbar icons for an individual skin? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Is there a way to substitute a set of Toolbar icons for individual skins in WindowBlinds? Currently, I have the option to use a designated set of icons for skins that don't have any included. However, what I'm wanting to know is if there is a way to change the Toolbar icons for an individual skin without having that change effect all other skins? THANKS!

Koasati, Okay, I'm back with my promised report on how I made out. With your additional information, I was able to successfully add sounds to a number of existing skins which didn't have them by design. However, I was not able to add sounds to a few which had multiple items listed in the left tree in that section, e.g., some had 3 Close buttons, listed. I tried adding the .wav file for each of them but without success. It's not a big deal, but

Reply to How to add sounds? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Thanks guys! Yes I was using .wav files. I simply copied over existing wave files from another skin and tested them and they all worked. So, I've added your additional instructions to my little "Add Sounds in WB" document and will give it a shot later on and let you know how I made out. Again.. thanks for taking the time to help out this old newbie. </font

Reply to auto-installing windowblinds in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

If the skin doesn't have a uis. file, then rename the downloaded file back to a ".zip" extension. Open the file and double-click on the included ".wba" file and this will install the skin for you. I've run across several of these types too and the above recommendation works fine.

Koasati instructed: To add sounds to a WB skin, First copy the sound file to the skin folder, then open the skin in SkinStudio. Select a titlebar button by clicking it. In the tree view on the right side look for Actions... expand that. Look for Button Sound- Press, and Button Sound- Release. Select one of those. In the Value dropdown list

How to add sounds? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I would like to add sounds to some existing WB skins when you click on the Minimize, Restore/Maximize and Close buttons. I'd like to use some existing sounds from another skin. Can someone explain how this can be done in layman's terms? Also, I'm wondering what these ".tga" files are. By default on my system, they are being associated with "OmniPage Pro", which obviously isn't correct. Are these files configurable? If so, should I change the a

Problem with applying suites in Theme Manager Stardock Forums

I'm having a problem getting Theme Manager (2004 or 2005) to apply or not apply Desktop Wallpapers when I change suites. If the skin in the suite has its own wallpaper, it always overrides the one included when I created with suite using "File/Save Desktop". The reverse is also true. If the suite comes with its own wallpaper image, unchecking to apply the wallpaper is ignored and it is applied anyway. Is this a known "bug" or is there some set

Creating an icon package to be installed and used with IconPackager? in IconPackager Stardock Forums

In my travels around the Internet I have come across several "packs" of icons; some in ".ico" format and some in ".png" format and occasionally some in ".jpg" format. These packs have no ".ip, .theme, or .incl" files included and thus they cannot be installed as a package with IconPackager. What I am wanting to know is how can I create a package with these icons that is IconPackager friendly? I am hoping for a little more in an answer than, "Use xxxx p

Bootup time with "Bootskins" in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Is the "timeout=xx" parameter normally found in the "boot.ini" file configurable when using Bootskins? Before switching over to Bootskins, I could vary the bootup time (in seconds) and normally had it set to 5. However, there is a much longer delay now using Bootskins and I would like to reduce that time if possible. Evidently, Bootskins circumvents the boot.ini on bootup because no matter what number is put in the "timeout" parameter, it remains the s
