Reply to Buttons won't skin. (Pics to make my problem easier to understand) in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

You may need to restart Explorer or reboot for the toolbar icons in Explorer to change. If you want the large black circles with the blue glyphs, you also need to switch explorer to use large toolbar icons. Currently you have it set to use the small ones. Right-click next to the icons anywhere on the toolbar and select Customize.

You want UIS2 for a WB5 skin.

Reply to Maximum sizes in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Really, there are no maximum sizes for any of them. You can see what average sizes are by looking at other people's skins, but you have the freedom to make them however large or small you want. You should be reasonable about it, of course. A titlebar that fills half the screen probably wouldn't appeal to many people, but in theory you should be able to make it 600 pixels tall if you wanted to. I'm not sure that anyone has tried it, so you could be the first to discover a size limitation

Reply to Loading .ip sets in ObjectDock in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Open IconPackager, then click on the Icon Explorer button and browse for the icon library (.icl file) you want to extract icons from. Icon Explorer will show a preview of all of the icons in the .icl file. Now, you can right-click on any icon and export it to an individual .ico file which you can use with ObjectDock.

Reply to Arrow Player Gadget in New Releases WinCustomize Forums

I don't think you can see the playlist with WMP. Unfortunately, that seems to be a limitation of how DX Player work with it. The edit button gives you the most options with WMP. Winamp will allow you to see the playlist, but it opens the player, which is kind of annoying.

Arrow Player Gadget in New Releases WinCustomize Forums

I recently submmited a new media player gadget to desktopgadgets.com. It was made to match my Arrow WindowBlinds skin or any Aero style desktop. I thought I'd bring it to the attention of those here who don't check there regularly. ;) The screenshot pretty much says it all. You can find out more and download it at the link below.

Reply to please remove in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I don't know about the menu fonts, but keep in mind that in SkinStudio that's a real menubar, while in Explorer, that's a toolbar that acts like a menubar. I can tell you that per-pixel windows don't support menubar skinning or mdi buttons. Those elements will be ignored unless the user disables per-pixel windows (or thier video card doesn't support them) on thier end.

The download button should be fixed now. It worked for me all along though, so I can't test it myself.

Reply to Abuse of power, can it really be stopped? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I don't know exactly who removed your screenshot, so I can't speak on that. But, I can tell you my opinion of it. It's one thing to simply post a screenshot of something you can't distribute. It's another thing to encourage people to give you their addresses so you can email it to them. At that point, you may as well have uploaded the WB skin to WinCustomize. That is essentially using the site to illegally distribute the skin. Power has nothing to do with it. WinCustomize protects you

msdanasue, I expirimented with adding some Halloween sounds to the titlebar buttons, but I found that anything more than short clicks or beeps becomes annoying after a while and makes the skin less usable.

Reply to Is it possible to skin user accounts Learn about body bits and pieces? in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

bmwchubb is referring to the left pane and other bits of the User Accounts window (see Control Panel -> User Accounts). I assume Windows is doing something that prevents WindowBlinds from skinning the contents of that window. I don't know of any way to skin it.
