Loose icons like that need to be applied individually. Right click on any shortcut, select properties, and you should see a place to change the icon in there somewhere.
I believe this is in the works, actually. T-Man was just running some tests a couple weeks ago.
If you really want to suppress them, you should replace them with solid colored images or something. Otherwise the default XP ones will appear and might look even more out of place.
I don't believe there is a list anywhere. The best thing to do is disect someone elses skin and see what sizes they used. Some images don't have 'default' sizes. Panel Item Background, for example, will stretch/tile depending on the size of the start menu icons, and the start menu items. The key there is to make something that looks right no matter what size it is. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.g
Happy karma birthday girl.
Those images need to be 8 bit indexed BMPs. That should do the trick.
Wow, this is great stuff! Nice work, Pat, George, and Flyin!
paxx, your machine still blows my PocketPC away.
Wow, paxx. I thought my system was getting outdated.

hashonboat, that's it so far. The subscription program has been in place for less than a year. There is a pack of 4 (I think) subscriber only WindowBlinds skins due out very soon.
You will have access to everything that has already been released, plus anything released during your subscription.
I use Outlook mainly because it's the only thing that will sync with my PocketPC, and it's way easier to backup and restore than Outlook Express.
Bushman, there is nothing to set up. All you can do is select the clock image. No other clock options have been added to ObjectDock yet.
The favorites menu wasn't skinned by WB until WB4. There is no way to change the font color or face yet.

Sometimes I have a title before I start, sometimes it comes to me during the creation process, and sometimes I come up with it after I'm done. Sometimes I have a working title and then come up with a more suitable one when I'm finished. Sometimes I'll show it to someone else and they'll come up with a title. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powered by SkinBrowse
Actually, most people don't check it. You were right to assume that it's for major updates. If you've just tweaked a pixel or two, or updated your description, it's not fair to put it back at the top of the library and push new or significantly updated skins down the list.
Actually, WindowFX 2 allows you to make your desktop icons 48x48 without effecting the rest of them. But I think it had issues with remembering icon positions, if I recall correctly.
You could check the font and color settings in the groupbox header section and the classic task button section (which is what IconPackager is using). If those don't do the trick, then the font and color are being taken directly from Font0 and Color0. There is no other place to change them. This is a problem with the applications themselves. They are using controls that don't get font information from Windows the way that they should. Everybody has an app or two that doesn't pla
Look in the Presets section of SkinStudio. It is either using Font0 and Color1 or the other way around. I forget.
Sounds like the icon file is corrupt. If you are making it solely for ObjectDock, you are better off saving it as a PNG instead.
mrbiotech, have a look at my Stinger DX theme. https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?Library=3&skinid=2523 It contains a horizontal bar across the top that will fit any resolution (within reason). I have a clock and email checker aligned to the right, and menus aligned to the left. It might serve as a guide for what you want to do. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" AL
To install a WinStyles suite or theme, you need to have the program WinStyles installed. https://www.stardock.com/products/winstyles/ You cannot simply open it with Windows XP's theme manager. As for SysMetrix not staying put, my guess is that it's due to a screen resolution change when you play your game. Most likely, your game runs at a resolution lower than what your desktop is normally set at. So, when you run it and your resolution changes, SysMetrix is forced to move in order to s
