Fonts gone CRAZY!!! in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Not sure if it is a WB/SKS problem or just my system, but something happened that made some of the fonts all wacked. As you can see from the screeny, some are huge and bold. Most of the other fonts are changed also...looks like Segoe instead of Tahoma, or vice versa. Like I said, I have no idea what happened or what I did, I just got up, started working and HOLY SHIIII...... Maybe someone has came across this problem before. Thanks for the help. <img src="http://img145

Thanks people. I'm making good use of the new layer feature in SKS. Just about everything in this skin has a layer! Also doing a 'clean' substyle without any textures. All I have to do is simply turn off the layers I added...easy! I love layers!

[quote]PSD support for Skinstudio... PLEASE!![/quote] Hellz yeah. Maybe using slices or layers to divide up the active/inactive images etc. PS layers = SKS layers. And if layers would support blend modes in SKS...omg, that would be icing on the cake. [quote]Ability to click on a preview to navigate thru SKS instead of using tree.

[quote]Patrick24,There is no complacency or laziness involved. Support has been a bit backed up with Obj. Desktop issues and we're working hard as possible to get current. A lot of the issue is when e-mailing Support, we can't know all the details unless you state them. If you had said you had AVG in the beginning, we'd have advised you to try disabling it, and see if WB works for you.Now, this is not your fault, but neither is it ours, and when you called in, we found the issue.

Reply to WB on Vista is borked in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Hey, I just got AVG to work! I phoned tech support the other day, and it was he who suggested that AVG might be blocking WB. I uninstalled AVG, but was stuck with no anti-virus unless I found an alternative. So, I emailed the guy back and asked what I should do. He suggested allowing WB as an exception in AVG. Took some messing around, but I got it to work finally. This is what I did: I opened AVG, went to "resident shield", clicked on "manage exceptions", added the path [I]C:\Prog

Reply to WB on Vista is borked in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

I've had the same problem for a while now. It was a problem with AVG for me. I just completely uninstalled AVG and WB worked. Reboot...no problems. Reinstalled AVG, reboot...same problem again. Uninstalled AVG... I've never had a problem with AVG before with ANY program. I know WB isn't a 'normal' program, but still... just seems strange, especially when so many people use AVG.

Pumpkin, I totally agree with you. I got the same exact response from support - took over a week too. So, I just phoned tech support, and the guy a called was very helpful. The email support was the exact opposite. I recommend you try calling tech support. It's harder to dismiss someone when you're talking directly with them. I don't have a very high opinion of stardock's support system right now. Waiting a week or two to reply to a problem is just complacent and lazy, especially when the r

Reply to SKS layer mask question in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Ok, I get it now. I thought it was a image mask, and not for colouring. I had a different concept in my brain of how layers work. Silly mistake. Thanks.

SKS layer mask question in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I've been playing around with the new layers feature and it's driving me crazy. I can't seem to get masks to work. I'm trying to ad a layer on the caption window border, and every time I import a mask image it say 'The parameter is incorrect' I've tried using .png .bmp and .tga with alpha channel also. I've tried making it the same size as the layer and the top frame image. Ive also tried using grayscale. Nothing has worked. So, anyone figure this layers feature out yet? Help is much appri

Hey, since I wasn't getting a response from support, I just phoned them. The guy at tech support said to try disabling AVG, and guess what... it worked! If not that, then something else must be blocking WB. If you have any anti-virus program, try uninstalling it and see if that helps.

pumkin, have you tried installing WB from stardock central? It may be an Impulse issue. I tried doing that and it said my accounts needed to be 'merged'. I just emailed support back and asked them to do that. Haven't heard back yet, but maybe that will work for you.

Hey, I've been following this thread and I thought I'd chime in here. I think it more than a coincidence that you have described the problems I'm having with WB EXACTLY! Same thing has been happening to me ever since I've upgraded to OD 2008. I kept thinking maybe the next update will fix it, or maybe it was just my system, but when I saw your post I said "Ok, I have to do something about this" So, I emailed Stardock Support last week, but haven't got a response yet. Anyway, I recently

This is a composite of a .Dream I'm working on. The planet and the rings around it are spinning, and the little astroids float by. I might add an orbiting moon too.

Ooo, I'd love to, except that it's a little late for me. (10:30 - 12:30) Don't know if my parents would go for me chatting on the puter at these late hours. We kinda have a small house, and not much insulation. Would an earlier time be possible? Maybe another episode?
