Hi, For years now, many people have asked for an update to the color & appearance window. Yet, it's not changed even in version 4? I am astounded. It would be great to get one or more of the following integrated into the preferences. Color library RGB or Web or Hex color inputs Color wheel I love the appearance of the new settings menu. Excellent work on that. I have yet to try the other new features.

Long time user, not so many posts'er. [e digicons]:|[/e] I've never been a fan of how you choose colors for Fences. It would be so much nicer to have a few different things. 1. A standard... typical color picker window like nearly every other app that exists on windows. You know, with the window popup, RGB, HEX, and HSV controls, and a color box or wheel. Really the big problem I have with the color choosing is it's just slider

Hi all. To the pros and the regular skinners alike. I was curious what your workflow is for making your skins. I guess I am mainly looking for ideas on a process. Do you use screenshots and then cut up your images? Do you visualize your colors and fonts first? Do you go one by one through each section or just what suits you? These are the types of things I am curious about. Don't have to answer the above specifically. Just examples. </p

Oh I definitely planned on sharing it if I finish it. I actually bought trio a few days ago. One of my more favored purchased skins. 7dusk though is more the style I have been looking for but it's a bit not perfect with some things. Of course I think that's more of other apps faults than the skins. I was curious what your workflow is. Also do you like just take a picture of other windows and just paint over them and then cut them up?

Several years ago I had started a theme actually. But yeah, that was several years ago. I just jumped back into the WB stuff and I still can't find a theme I really like. So I am back to trying to create my own haha.

Hi. I am having a problem with the places list. If you take a look you can see the right hand side and bottom part of the places list seems to be stretching by a few pixels. I have tried using margin painting and various settings. Can anyone toss around some suggestions as to what may be causing this and / or how to fix it? EDIT: Well... silly error. The places lis

So I am using Windows 7 and have icons always being combined. I am assuming this is the Taskbar group menu | Background and Menu Items part of Skin Studio under Taskbar editing. The example control in use doesn't match what I see. When I look at the grouped windows on my machine its some tiles / previews of the windows under the group rather than the list. I changed the image to a red solid color so I could see it but I am not seeing any change. How do I g

Yeah. I really just don't want that glow at all. I think if I just set it to remove it from my skin it should go away based on the other themes I have looked at.

Hmm. Interesting. I did manage to find that earlier but I just made it fully transparent. I might have to look at some other skins to understand it better hehe. Thanks for the reply!

Hi all, Working on a new skin myself finally. For the taskbar buttons I have noticed there is a strange outer glow around buttons I hover over. For the life of me I can not find where these images or colors are found. I already changed the actual taskbar button image myself. As you can see there is a red'ish glow around the icon with a V. On some of the other icons it changes color. Any help is greatly appreciated. <img src="https://i.imgur.com/uiw

So I installed latest version of WB. When I run the app and switch to a new theme it process, then goes gray, then black, then takes me to the windows login screen and defaults to a second local user account that I don't use. I switch to the account I normally use and I just get a gray screen and then it drops me back to the login window again. Any suggestions?
