Are you talking about the actual menu of programs that opens when you hover over "All Programs"? If so, its width is determined by the lentgh of the shortcut names in the menu.

My guess is that the new version of WinStyles was released before a new version of SysMetrix could be. I'm sure SysMetrix will be updated before too long. By the way, EzPop suffers from the same issue.

I don't know if this is it exactly, but it looks very similar to the iTuned WindowBlinds skin by Cuzzo https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?Library=1&skinid=2942 Jafo was referring to the fact that StyleXP is not acutally a program. It is a crack for Microsoft's theme engine. Most skinners prefer WindowBlinds because of its unmatched flexibility and the fact that it skins far more elements of Windows that StyleXP. StyleXP can only skin "Theme Aware" programs, while WindowBlinds will s

wba is a WindowBlinds file extension. There is far more on this site than WindowBlinds skins. Look in the Icon Packager section. If you rename the files there to .zip, you can extract the .ico files.

Reply to pocketblinds in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

This is how I install PocketBlinds skins. I download the skin to my PC and unzip it. Some skins may have been zipped with a folder path, and some may not have been, so watch for that. Make sure the skin files are in a folder with the same name as the UIS file, and that there are no other folders inside it. Then I use ActiveSync to copy that folder into the PocketBlinds directory on my device. That should do it. <img src

I wasn't going to mention the ending, but I think it could lead to some sort of sequel or a tv series ... I hope.

Reply to Taken: Who watched it? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I watched it 2 hours per night for 2 weeks and I loved every minute of it. If they release a DVD, I'll buy it for sure. It is like TV crack, and now I'm craving more. I didn't realize it was a 10 part mini series until I was 3 nights into it, but I was glad to watch it all. I could go for another week's worth, actually.

Reply to The Rating System in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Fuzzy Logic: When paxx said "They receive an automatic rating of 6", he was referring to some people. When I said "That would be the rating a moderator gives it when it is approved", I was referring specifically to bakerstreet. Only Journeymen and above have automatic approval. Bakerstreet is not a Journeymen or above. It's all right here: https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=about <img src="http

Yes, most elements of a logon have a fixed position and size. You can move the user box to one of nine positions on the screen, but that's about it.

Reply to ICONS with black background, why?!?! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Many of the newer icons here use 32 bit alpha blending, which is only supported in XP. They will not look right on older versions of Windows. If you are using XP, make sure you have your system color depth set to 32bit.

The only way to keep the list from scrolling is to increase your resolution so more names will fit on the screen. The logon itself has little to do with it.
