Reply to How do I: Assign a background to windows explorer and/or make the background semi-transparent? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

In WinXp MS broke it. I believe the developers are still looking at how to get around it. If you are using a differant OS then it will be in the WB configurating settings.

I use the always on top feature often. In fact, it is what sold me on WB in the first place. Why MS didn't include it in the first place is beyond me. Smartbuttons....Don't understand them and have never used them. Is there documentation on how to use them?

Reply to Good n Evil in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

"Why is knowledge a sin?" I think that what you mean is why is knowledge of good and evil a sin? A baby is unaware of what it is doing is good or bad. As they grow this is instilled in them by their parents and others. One of the first words a baby understands is "NO". Once you understand what is good or bad you can then choose which to do. This is why the criminally insane recieve treatment vs. the criminal that goes to prison. The insane don't have a choice. Although the who

XP does a poor job compressing files. I unzipped a file made a minor change then zipped it back up using the default from XP. I noticed that the file was much larger. Tried zipping it using Object Zip and it was the much smaller.

I noticed in plastique that the title bar buttons weren't centered. It is off just enough to notice. If they are centered then it is an optical illusion that you should compensate for. Also the arrow for the systray is on the line when is shrunk when it is expanded it is off to the side. In Fuel the "log off" and "turn off computer" are almost at the top of the bar. In some of the older versions of SS the attributes for content in the bottom bar in the xp section are missing. You might

Add things like search functions and topics. I think that would help traffic. You could add a section that never dies called FAQ that would help to stop the same questions from being asked over and over and over..... There are other FAQ's at other places but it is kind of like README's. You can put everything into them and still people don't read them. About the only thing that helps is to have them everywhere.

After further investigation..... The frames look right when maximised as long as one side is clipped to at least -1.

This is wierd. The clipping changes only take effect if you change skins and then go back the skin that you made the changes to.

Just a recent convert after a post you put up here awhile back. I had used it with Linux a few times, but I didn't realize that there was a Win version. It really is a great text editor. Trying to get the wife to use it. She hates word because she really just wants it to act like a typewriter. The auto formatting in word can tend to get in the way.

Fuel is by far your best one yet. I really like the style of it. I left some suggestions for the latest ones. I hope I was not too hard. The biggest complaint I have is you need to create your own backgrounds for midi, explorer and dialog windows instead of using the default. The best/worst advice I recieved was from Alexandrie when I asked if I could borrow some buttons; "Make all your own bitmaps

Seeing the same things here. Photoshop is in particularly bothersome. It throws the mouse off by about 10-20 pixels. I can't use guides because by the time photoshop thinks you are over the rulers you are out of the window and it thinks you are trying to do something else. The longer I run it the worse it gets. It makes using the magic wand very uhmmm interesting.
