Reply to Radeon 9200SE in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I had a 9200se (Diamond Radeon) and it worked, albeit only without the Catalyst Control Panel. Each manufacturer does their own little tweaking to get what they want to sell. Some makers work with per-pixel, some ignore per-pixel and some just don't work...Have you tried checking the option in "System Information-Never use Per Pixelborders on a skin" to see if that will work? You'll sacrifice the transparency, but you could troubleshoot from there.<

Now that would be cool. No idea. Looking through SKS, I don't see how it could be done in WB, besides scripting (maybe??). But I don't see a scripting attribute anywhere near the StartPanel...sorry, I'm no help.

Pentium 2 ThinkPad: runs well, not using per-pixel on borders (System Info options) just to save time. Runs well in both environments. Although, if I power on when not plugged in, my start speed is reduced to 133. But this is a norm for this laptop. Strange that you get full throttle when in mobile mode. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/icons/wc.gif" border=0 alt="Posted via WinCus

Do you have the Catalyst Control Panel installed? If so, try reinstalling the ATI software/drivers without the control panel. I don't know about the 5.12 version, but back at the 5.9 and earlier, the Catalyst CP interfered with everything skinnable on my PC. Made me switch to nVidia, but I didn't ask for help. You might also make sure you don't have more than 10 apps in windows startup. And try setting your Virtual Memory 1.5 times ins

Reply to Per Pixel, Alpha Blending, .tga's in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Cavan pointed out to me a while back that it is unnecessary to start out with .tga formatted image. Using the .png will get you going, and importing the image to SkinStudio will convert the image, if you have the option under "Tools>Preferences-Editing>Image Editors" here you'll see at the mid-bottom of the window is a check box and the option: "Convert TGA files to PNG before using image editors". Check this and you can use any image editor that ha

Reply to Maximum sizes in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Just for grins, I tried a bottomwindowframe that equalled the height of the topwindowframe. This caused some unusual sizing, such as when "grabbing" the bottom frame the pointer-cursor would "grab" the middle (height) of the bottom frame. When Maximizing, the bottom frame tended to have a mind of it's own and would sometimes hide under taskbar, either partially or fully. And when using WindowFX, the shadows would be off considerably. Just some obse

Reply to Maximum sizes in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

The taskbar and taskbar buttons will size according to "content margins", not sizing margins. Say for example your taskbar button is 31 pixels tall and your taskbar is 31 pixels tall. If your "content margins" are set at "0", the buttons will take all 31 pixels. Experiment with this and you'll see what I mean. Your titlebar has a setting called "Caption Height", be sure to have this number equal to the actual image height. When

Reply to ATI vs. nVidia in Video Cards WinCustomize Forums

I'd say for the average user, ATI and nVidia are equal. For the poweruser, gamer or experimentor the nVidia can handle more stress. Just my opinion. But I do not have extensive experience with both, but the experience I do have tells me to stay with my nVidia. As I said, experience...I have not used anything above a 9800 ATI or a 5500 nVidia.

I get some of the same symptoms, NT. Especially with scrollbars, which mine just plain become invisible. Also, when adding text fonts on two occasions, the fonts for the entire skin disappear from SKS. Even installing fonts will not fix. When starting a "new" UIS2 skin to create, or when loading a skin within SKS, it wants to delete all "normal" fonts and colors and all "focus" fonts and colors. This is annoying because I already deleted them the
