Evolution of a skin in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Skinning is a process filled with creative moments, frustration, and compromise. A lot of things have to come together before the skin is fully realized and uploaded to the community. The design fase may be the most important and lengthy part of what goes into building a cohesive Windowblind. Today I thought I'd share som images giving a bit of insight into my process. I like to document my progress through screenshots as I go. Not all skins go through a huge amount of changes

With regards to white backgrounds where it should be dark, I would love to see screenshots of the issue (I'm not sure I understand the terminology you've used on all the issues) it may be something I can fix easily. Windowblinds has had updates since I built most of them and I could probably fix some of the "unskinned" elements.

[quote who="erkingoksu" reply="17" id="3804106"] Actually, I already tried it before prepare this page. However, That does not work at all. What can I do as different that?[/quote] I would suggest that you create a new post in the windowblinds section asking for help. Something along the lines of "Windowblinds doesn't skin Chrome correctly". More people will be aware of your problem that way since there are only a few people who are paying attention to this post.

[quote who="Vampothika" reply="7" id="3804050"] I noticed another issue but didn't fix it. Your progress bars block and border are the wrong way around. They must be: horizontal for horizontal. vertical for vertical.[/quote] Vamps, do you still skin the vert progress bar? I stopped ages ago. I may be wrong, but when was the last time you saw a vertical progress bar in use anywhere?

1. The control Panel background is hard coded in windows 10 You can only change the text colors in the section: Change skin colours>Edit windows7/8 part colours>Control panel 2. I'm not sure how you mean "change the shape of the tray menu bar". Can you show what you want it to look like vs how it looks? 3. The arrow itself is controlled by the button text color in the section: Change skin colours>show me the skin defined system colours (drop down menu)>Button text.
