Reply to Tough love for Object Desktop in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Well thanks for the comforting there folks haha. And believe me dont get me wrong here. I am keen to get Win 7 when I can. Also I only subscribed to OD U 4 years ago or so and just recently popped back into it. So the timing seems wierd for me with all these new changes when I came back. This makes me curious on getting a better description for those of us with the Ultimate subs. What was meant exactly by extension and do we have any time frames?

Reply to What would you like to be skinnable in WindowBlinds that is not currently? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

-Change size, color of folder bar font -Explorer tree view (left pane) background able to have color changed. -Would be nice if there was a way around the command bar text on explorer to not use "Window background" color. -IE8 Doesnt seem to skin with current WB. At least not entirely. -I actually would like some "redundancy" in SKS its self. Specifically Id like it if im in the start menu section of SKS for example, then EVERYTHING that can apply to that area

SKS 7 Bug with Changing Skin Fonts. in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

So working in SKS7 Ive found that when I am in the "Change Skin Fonts" section editing fonts there is a bug. 1. Go into Change Skin Fonts. 2. Change a font as youd like. Do not change the description. 3. Click Apply. 4. Notice it doesnt ask you to save changes before applying. The only way ive noticed to make it ask if you want to save changes is if you actually change the description of that font group and then click apply, or close the

Command Bar Buttons and Captions Text in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I know why a dark theme is a pain in the rear for Vista... Anyone have some insight to this area for me to consider? Dark theme, should be enough said there. Also, is there a way to get rid of or adjust the glowy effect around text on the borders / caption?

Reply to Another question for skinning in SKS 6/7 in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Well you are right about that it apears. I tested on other themes and have the same result. I wonder if its always been like that and I just didnt notice until I started messing around with making a skin lol. Most likely thats it I bet. Im using typical vista mouse cursors. Never change them, always use the norm / default. Owell. Thanks yet again. You guys are very nice and I appreciate it. =)

See, when you move the cursor, the resize cursor stays up for a certain distance as you move in and out of its range. Ive noticed on the sides, it stays up longer, where as on the caption the cursor has much less space before it returns to the normal cursor.

Another question for skinning in SKS 6/7 in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

So while making my border frames. I noticed my arrows for resizing sometimes start out away from the application. I searched here and found that its because its starting where the shadow ends. Fair enough. Here is the other problem though. It seems no matter what i change "Sizing Area Size" to it wont actually change. It stays at a very small area on my windows. Specifically on the caption border. I currently have it set to 9, it started at 2. It acts the same as 2 did. Maybe I

Reply to Maximized Captions location in SK6 in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Hmm. Well as a test i used my same top border image which does have space between the pixels with color and the border. If I dont use margins it just stretches the image. If I use margins it the space with transparency is pushed out anyways. Are you suggesting i change the margin so it doesnt cover the corners that have trans?

Reply to Maximized Captions location in SK6 in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Yeah. I may follow stardocks lead on this image where they just made a whole new image that has no transparency in its main viewing area. If i use my current image for border top the corners stretch way out. If i use painting margins its stretched out of the screen. I cant get the rounded corners to show. Im assuming this may be because i cant use transparencies on the maxed caption. Im using per pixel frames. Thanks again. I know ive been asking a lot of questions lately. I app
