I'm attempting to learn about skinning by trying to edit some of my favorite downloaded skins in SkinStudio Free v5 and seeing what happens. What I am trying to do with Morpheus' SouLuna v1 is to "fix" a glitch with some kinds of right-click and pulldown menus. See attached images to see what I mean. From what I gather, different programs handle right-click menus differently than others. Nevertheless, I believe this problem to be sk

Update! I tried brewman's email address again, and this time it didn't bounce back at me. He sent me a tweaked version of TriAX that fixes the blobby buttons problem. But alas! It doesnt' solve the failure of WB5 to skin the drop-down menu bar in Outlook Express. Nevertheless, now that I have both of my favorite skins looking a bit more prim, I have decided to keep WB5 installed this time.

I actually did post a comment on his Triax area, but have had no responses concerning it. I tried his posted email, but it's no longer current. Of course, I am still of the opinion that the blobby buttons and failure to skin the OE 6 pull-down menu bar are Stardock's problem, and not Brewman's. I also sent an email to Stardock shortly after WB5's release, but got no response from that either.

Here's a link to a screen capture. I'm not sure if the link will work... It actually looks a little worse than it shows in the screen capture. By the way, Brewman's DogmaX used to have the blobby buttons problem, too. When he took it down from winCustomize a while back, he eventually tweaked it and then put it back up again. The blo

I currently run WB 4.6 rather than 5 for several reasons.... 1. My favorite skin, Triax, displays globby pull-down menu buttons. 2. It doesn't skin Outlook Express 6 pull-down menu bar properly. 3. It doesn't skin console windows. Have these problems been corrected yet in the latest version of 5?

I am currently running WB 4.6 on Windows XP Pro SP2. I am thinking about installing the latest IE7 beta. Just wondering if there are any significant problems running it with WB 4.6? Ditto for latest incarnation of 5.0?

When I first purchased Windowblinds back about 4.2 or so, I was peeved when I found out that it wouldn't skin Office 97. I have since upgraded to Office XP and like the look of it so well, that I think I'd like to see the rest of my programs looking like it, too. Has anyone already created a skin that does this?
