Ooops... you're right! Ok. Let me revise that... instead of hitting Esc, do a left mouse click.

By the way, I use that same batch file to run several registry files that change the color of Windows Media Player 9, Windows Live Mail (beta), and Windows Live Messenger.

Reply to Where does WB6 look to find Wallpapers? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Thanks for the tips. The wallpaper changer I currently use automatically polls my wallpaper directory. I don't have to click "all" to get it to find the papers. The reason why I like it that way is so I can use a batch file to automatically empty the folder and dump a new set of papers there as needed. I have a set of wallpapers that goes with each of my favorite skins.

ToolTip Font and Sizes in SkinStudio Stardock Forums

Is there no place in SkinStudio 6 to set the size and font type of the tooltips in Windows XP?

Where does WB6 look to find Wallpapers? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I'm wondering where it is that WB6 finds the wallpapers it displays in it's configuration window.... I mean the ones that it uses in it's wallpaper changer feature, not the ones it displays in the skins previews. Another point I'd like to make... I would find it much easier if I could set it to a specific directory and have WB6 use what ever is there, without having to check off each one individually. Any hope for such a feature in a future update?

WB6 Configuration Window.... in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I'm finding that WB6's configuration window is displaying alot of the skin previews, at random, with black taskbars. Any cause or fix for that?

Bichur, once you have selected "move", then you use the arrow keys to move the window up or down, left or right, then Escape to return control back to other mouse/keyboard commands.

For those who may be curious, I have yet to experience the lagging menu/mouse problem since I installed WB6.0 I'm hoping it's been fixed!

Where are WB 6 Config Window Color settings hidden. in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

For a number of applets on my 'puter (WMP 9, Live Mail, Live Messenger), I have a batch file that runs a number of reg files containing preset colors to match each of my favorite skins. I'm hoping that WB 6 also has color settings in the registry that can be changed in the same way. I have done the obligatory registry search for the keyword "color" but did not comne up with anything. Anyone know where I can find them?

WB 6 Configuration Windowcoloring schema primitive in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

In the skin coloring area, you can use a great Windows XP styled color selection matrix, but when it comes to coloring WB 6's own Configuration Window, all you get is a slider with a limited number of colors. I'll have to admit, though, that it's alot better than what we had before... which was no color options at all.

I would think it easier to right click on the taskbar icon and select "move". I have moved it down each time I have run the program, but it pesists in displaying each time I open the app with the title bar off the top of the screen. A well behaved porogram remembers where it last was when it was run and then returns there the next time it is opened. I suppose I could change the screen resolution permanantly to the next higher resolution, but I already have problems seeing things at th

Reply to Please unsquash my squashed buttons! in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

I managed to figure out the image reassignment. It improved the buttons considerably. I don't think I can use the same settings, however, because the two types of tool bars are not the same height. I need to shrink the buttons just a smidgen because the buttons completly fill the bar height, but no changes to the settings seems to make any difference. I'll give it another try later.

Nope, the problem didn't go away. Well, I think I'm going to be doing a system re-install in a couple weeks, so I'll likely hold off any extensive troubleshooting until I have done that.

Reply to Please unsquash my squashed buttons! in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

Oh ya... it seems to me that I read soemwhere in these forums that some these "menu bars" are actually erstaz tool bars, and not really menu bars at all. I'm assuming that the latter of the two locations involves the ersatz tool bars. And also, how do I go about reassigning the images and sizing settings to the new location?

Reply to Please unsquash my squashed buttons! in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

I actuallly did find the the location of the first two locations you suggested. That should have controlled the flattened buttons I detest. What I can't figure out is why I can make all sorts of experimental changes to the sizing margins and content margins and not affect the size or appearance of those buttons. I think there is something I am not getting here.

Can these features be set in SkinStudio? in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

Is there no way to set the following features with SkinStudio? Height of pulldown menu bar. Font size of icon captions. Font size of items in directory trees. Font size of Tool Tips. Font size in Message box. Possibly in the same vein, which of the Classic features settings are never reset when either XP or WB (or both) applies a skin?

Reply to slow performance on menus in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I have the purchased version of WB5. I do regular system and disk maintenance, but the registry cleanup is limited to what Norton's One-button Checkup can do. I have tried other more in-depth cleaning tools in the past and have always regretted it. Even Norton reassigns broken links to new files, and I find myself launching programs unexpectedly. I should say that this performance problem exists whether the system was recently installed or after months of use. And as I mentioned, the problem

slow performance on menus in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I'm having some intermitant performance issues with WB5. I see it most often when I am using a right click menu. When this happens, the mouse becomes extremely slow and is able to display the cursor for only part of the movement. I have had this occur occasionally on drop down menus as well. This problem occurs on all the skins I have tried, so I don't think it is the skins that are at fault. The problem occurs on all builds of WB5 I have tried. Any suggestions as t

removing button skins for toolbars in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

This question is in regards to the custom toolbars that you can separate from the task bar... some of the skins I have seen have individual buttons skinned for each icon. I like the buttons to appear only when you mouse over or click on them. What must I do to eliminate these buttons? I have tried editing the image files for the buttons by clearing the first button in the image. Apparently, though, it isn't as simple as that. When I run the s

Update on the glitchy menus... I did get the menus to produce legible items. Now, is there a way to change the font on these ersatz toolbar menus? I tried making changes in several different places and it had no effect.
