Hadn't heard from you in a while, so thought you had drowned in fruitcake batter. Glad you surfaced. Hope you had a merry Xmas. By the way, didn't want a miracle of another daughter, just one for the one I have (don't wish that on me)! Too many gray hairs with the one I have, couldn't handle another one. Maybe we should have kept trying with the menu bit (maybe we could beat the two-week deadline). Anyway, at this rate, I'm sure you have learned enough to create a plugin. Think we

Oops, that's crazy instead of grazy (makes it should like a cow in the pasture.) Speaking of cows, had one for a pet when I was about 14. He would greet me when I got home from school. Needlesstosay, one day he wasn't there and we had a freezer full of meat! Boy, was I upset. Traumatic childhood.

Fruitcake - oooh - where's mine? Don't know how to break this to you, but got an email from Adam at Stardock. He said he read our thread and that the smartbuttons weren't finished yet and that version should be out in a couple of weeks. Hopefully that will solve the menu problem. I asked him to let you know (gently), because I didn't have the heart to tell you. You've worked so hard on this. (I'll miss this long thread too - we were making such progress.) I did mention to him th

Yeah, go! I'm dabbling with another one right now, but am starting with the desktopX part first (which I normally don't do), so inbetween when I get bored with it, may dabble with the menu too.

Actually, what shows up in skinstudio for me are folders (over to your far left). The first item will be the skin name, open that up and you have your buttons, bars, personality, etc. What I get is a folder that says smartbar0 and another folder that says smarbarurl. Basically Skin studio is for viewing and changing things. The key to the whole thing however is really the uis file, which basically after I get the look of the graphics I go in to fine tune. I finally got GoldEagle upl

I'm so excited, I couldn't wait to tell you. I got my url back. The smarbutton works for the url. It does everything it is suppose to. Took off the winmenu smartbar thing though for now, it is still contrary, just for the upload. Then I'll go back and see if it will ever work for me. Maybe you have had success in that area.

Well, scratch the above, got skin studio back. Had to re-install the previous version, (after unloading Windowblinds, FX, etc.). Then re-installed the new version. Now everything is back to normal. They said loads of updates, but I didn't notice any visisble changes.

No lovebirds, just hopelessly trapped in a technological dilemma. (You could give us a hand you know. Wouldn't want to deprive you of all this fun. You could be running in circles like we are.) They say (whoever they are) that two heads are better than one. So if two are better, 10 or 20 or more has got to be great, mathematically speaking that is.

Well, I just downloaded the latest version of Skin Studio and now have lost it altogether. I get a stack overflow. Tried installing and uninstalling. I would go home except I'm already there.

I am now using 3.09d for Windowblinds. Under this version (with coding the same as originally), I lost my url icon and it is replaced with another menu option even though it shows both the menu and the url in the windowblinds smartbutton configuration and shows smartbars enabled for this skin. Now, I have two buttons showing menus instead of one and both launching the program into Object Edit. Guess that's known as double the pleasure (headache wise). In skin studio you can place the

I think blowing up notepaid might be a good vent for frustration. Might try it at this end. At this point, couldn't hurt. Especially considering I have completely achieved going full circle on this one and am back to square one (with an additional trying to upload problem, which hopefully will take care of itself). Outlook finally got back in line and is doing fine. Guess it knew its life was in danger at this point. Read the new thread. Guess we are making history. Alas! Did

Well tried what they said, got my menu to come up again, tried to open Internet Explorer, Winamp, Outlook Express. With Internet Explorer it said couldn't laund program and then took me into Object Edit. However, this time it didn't open up IE in Object Edit. Guess that's an improvement. Anyway, Outlook and Winamp would not come up at all.

Okay. I think I am having one of those days (feel a scream coming on). Tried to upload the XP theme, got a message from Stardock that they hadn't changed the zip format over, that it was now done (as of yesterday). Tried to upload it twice today and get a 9 subscript out of range message. Have an email to them again. Then Outlook Express keeps acting up, sometimes it sends the message & sometimes it doesn't. Know of a nearby cubbyhole? I feel like hiding until this is all over.

Yes, but this time I put in the coding I found. Two strips came up on the side bar on the active frame, and on the inactive frame the buttons show up. All they do is roll and unroll so far since the last upgrade. I really think they just haven't finished their finalization of that part yet. I put in the coding anyway designating the smartbars. I'm just about ready to upload this theme, but if you find a solution, I can always update it. The coding I found and implemented is as follows:

I know what you mean about genius. Maybe we'll hit the world book for it. Who knows. I keep hoping 3.1 will come out. I think they just haven't perfected that part of it yet.
