[quote]So 8 out of 9 skins on the WindowBlinds gallery home page are Master Skins. It makes me beg the question: is this slowly killing WindowBlinds? [/quote] Won't have to worry bout me "Killing Windowblinds".... [e digicons]>_>[/e]
I've given this a lot of thought, and I have decided to walk away from skinning, not sure if I'll be back or not, It just doesn't seem to be the same anymore (for me), when I started here back in 2001, there was a ton of great skinners, (Masters or not) now it's just a handful (if that) of us left, and now there'll be one less. After the first of the year, I'll decide what to do with my skin gallery, whether to keep it, or have it taken down. I appreciate those who supported

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="3" id="3816000"] If high dpi images are not provided (and they rarely are) [/quote] That's fine Neil, but adding images for dpi, has never been explained to me, nor have I seen any tutorial on said subject, If I knew/understood how the adding of dpi images to my skins, I may add them in future skins.

[quote who="jaltadonna5" reply="33" id="3815993"] Okay i followed that my animation goes backwards [/quote] Hmmm, I didn't read it word for word, just glanced at the basic, seemed legit to me, when I did mine, it didn't run backwards, unless it has something to do with your frame start and end, and your start loop, and end loop, can't see why it would run backwards....[e digicons]:\[/e]

[quote who="jaltadonna5" reply="29" id="3815983"] The top part is more uniformed to make a video run smooth the bottom one looks like one of my animation [/quote] You don't make a "video" of your animated images (to import to SKS), just start with your 5 normal state images, then add each frame (of change/animation) after that, after you set the start loop image, and the end loop, save, and SKS
[quote who="basj" reply="22" id="3815970"] Well, I am just pointing out a better option here. But, if someone wish to use glyph, by all means, go ahead. On the other note, I learn almost everything on Skinstudios by trial and error and looking from how others did it too. I recommend others who like to learn, try it first, and ask only when you're stuck. That the fastest way to learn and it will stick with you longer that way. Thank you, Basj, Stardoc
[quote who="jaltadonna5" reply="19" id="3815958"] Well I thought inorder to get that picture to look hole for the left and right place list cause the skin i got form another person thats what he used yea i just need some pointers on a better way to make my to half look good like i know what i am doing lol.

[quote who="basj" reply="16" id="3815939"] I wonder why you would use Glyph, while you can use the 2nd,3rd etc image layer in here. It should be better since you can control your blend mode on it. Just my 2 cents. Thank you, Basj, Stardock Community Assistant [/quote] I agree with Basj, all my images in the start menu are a second layer, not a glyph, just like in my latest Master skin Sunset Lake, the duck image is a second layer, and I always make

[quote who="alkolkin" reply="3" id="3815841"] You did NOT misread. Thank you. The instructions for Fences, however, do not make the distinction you so clearly did. Clicking on the Fence title or in "Customize Fences" also has "View." I included a snippet of the View that I looked for in "Customize Fences" and in the actual Fence itself within my "bug" report. I never did click on a blank spot because I never did anything on a blank spot concerning configuring
[quote quoting="post"] It is frustrating how going from Windows 10 to Windows 11 has broken Fences. There is no way I can find to unlock or lock the Fences. It used to be in View, but no longer. All that I have in View is: I have purged and reinstalled Fences (file size 4724kb)
The only way I know of, is to do it in Windowblinds under "modify", I could be wrong. Only thing is, if you are only wanting to change fonts in those two areas, then I'd say there is no way, but, if you are wanting to change font's/text for the whole skin, then Windowblinds would be the way to do it, again, I could be wrong.
Amazing Andy, love the over all design. [e digicons]|-)[/e] [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Glad you feeling better.

[quote who="slankton" reply="79" id="3815065"] That sounds like a good idea - until I check on my options in Deskscape. I don't see any 'Disable' option. What version do you get to use? Mine says it is 'up to date.' Mine is V. 11 Beta 4. I uninstalled it and took a snapshot...and Fences displayed the snapshot just fine. So, where do I get the Deskscape with the 'Disable' option you show in your image? Any public release? &nb

[quote who="Supergrovercmstorm" reply="14" id="3814596"] Running great here, makes Win11 1 step better. Couple of questions: Couldn't not find a area to change the start orb? Is that feature going to be coming back? I also could not find the section to adjust the height of the start menu ( ie: number of items ) / or how to add/remove items to the left side of start menu. He he : found the setting much better now. <

I noticed on my Insider Beta Edition of Win 11, on Start11 Beta, there's no way to expand the start menu into columns like in Start10 settings, am I missing something? Never mind, I've found the settings.... [e digicons]:blush:[/e] [e digicons];P[/e]

Downloaded it, and installed it on my Insider Beta edition (Win 11), and seems to be running fine, so far, will put it to the test.

It's been a long time since I've done button animations (I just do animations for the Start Menu now), with that said, are you including the original images/States, such as Normal, Disabled, Mouse Over, and Focus/Default first, then followed by your animation frames? Those are the orders they (images) need to be in, or that's how I used to do it, before Windows 8.
