Reply to Windowblinds vs. StylesXp in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Let's be fair about the way StyleXP changes the way uxtheme works. It changes UXTheme in memory not physically (from what I've read, I could be wrong). WB must also have to do something to give itself priority over UXTheme. I've used both. I didn't really see much value in StyleXP. But then again, I only change styles, icons and cursors. When I was using plain Visual styles I used an easily found patch on uxtheme, IconTweaker for icon replacement and the free version of CursorXP. <b

Reply to Camtasia Video Capture doesn't work with WB in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

You have? Maybe you have the per pixel setting turned off like Neil suggested. I've tried these themes aerial, Royal Vista and a few vista themes and only the client/menu area is captured. Who came up with "per pixel", why not just call it alpha blending? Is there a difference? It's a horrible name.

Thanks. I thought about that an hour after posting. There's not a visible difference and the hit testing works as I expect.

Let me rephrase, Camtasia Studio is not able to record borders, etc when using a Window Blinds theme. It only records the Window client area.

Camtasia Video Capture doesn't work with WB in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I create a lot of video tutorials with Camtasia Studio. Camtasia Studio does not record borders, etc only the menus and client area of a window. Is this because of DirectX? Is there anything I can change? I have to go to a normal Visual Style before doing any recording?

transparent area hit testing in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I'm working on an open source 'aero' skin and noticed that when I click on a completely transparent area of a windows border, it doesn't activate that window. Is this intended? I was going to make buttons with part of the glyph being completely transparent. This will definitely change my design.

Reply to Taskbar not skinned in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I've seen this problem as well. It usually happens when I'm creating or modding a skin in SkinStudio. The taskbar just goes haywire and it makes me think I screwed something up. It's definitely a bug. I've seen it too many times. I updated to the latest version of SkinStudio and WindowBlinds through the Stardock Central app and haven't seen the problem since. SkinStudio is horribly slow now when applying skins. Aaargh. I preferred the older version.
