Try adding this to your UIS file under [TaskBar] using a text editor such as notepad or VI. Change the numbers to match what you want from the preset colors section. NormalColour=0 PressedColour=0 DisabledColour=0 FocusColour=1 DefaultColour=1 MouseOverColour=1

This is in SkinStudio XP Desktop -> Taskbar -> Taskbar Button -> Horizontal Taskbar Button Here you want to look for "focus color". Add it if it isn't there. Didn't see the attribute under the regular taskbar buttons. You might be able to make it work in a text editor of your choice.

Reply to MAC-icon rips in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

What about making an icon for desktopX? Is creating an icon for MSWord using a W a rip? or IE using their E icon but changed to suit your needs a rip? You didn't create the icon but how else are you to represent that program? Create an icon for each program? What if you use several programs that essentially do the same thing such as text edit? If you create an icon from scratch for each program it would get cunfusing and frustrating to the end user which defeats the whole purpose.

Reply to I can crash XP in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Two systems here running XP. The system with the clean install never crashes. It is also the weaker system. The system that was upgraded crashes fairly often. I don't even get a blue screen. It just reboots. I have been too lazy to reinstall.

I noticed that the skinners can get a time limeted version of WB and SS. Does this mean there will not be any updates to those for awhile once the competion starts? Will a skin be slighted for not using the latest features if there is an update? The reason I ask is because new features are not always documented the way they should... hint hint (cough cough). This could add more time to an already tight schedule to create a skin.

Reply to popularity of xp-styled skins in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

People may say they want something different, but the evidence, and research, suggests that what most people *really* want is something that looks similar to what they have already. People like to feel comfortable. That's why it's important not to move stuff around too much, and it's why XP-style skins are so popular. by Developer TheGreenReaper I was "talked to" on more then one occasion for using WB or DesktopX at work. I finally settled on a WB skin that looked f

...I imagine they'd see a dramatic decrease in their hardware sales (that may well be outweighed by the increase in their software sales). It's an intriguing thought anyway. by Mr AJCrowley And miss out on all those clever ideas like building the monitor into the computer or not having a floppy drive when they were still commonly used. They do some really clever things to hardware such as a laptop with a carring handle, but there have been too many times when they did

File properties that mean something. The way mp3 tags do. Giving me the ability to search for all photos with Vacation in the properties. Have the file system work as a database. That way when I do a search for something on the entire drive it is not automatically time to go get a cup of coffee. The ability to have files open using differant apps. For example when I right click on a file have a short list of apps to open it instead of the moronic "Send to..." The abil

WB, XP & win98 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I have two computers here at home. Both running XP. Currently one of the machines is an upgrade from win98. After the upgrade and messing around with the component manager for OD windowblinds is working but thinks it is on a win98 machine. I would like to uninstall/install WB so it is working properly but then I have no way to see what a skin would look like on a win98 machine. While creating a skin for WB how can I see what it will look like on a win98 machine? The preview window in s

http://nebulus.org/ Great site that explains alot of the technical stuff the filters and settings do and mean. It is a breath of fresh air after some of the "do this with these settings. Now do this with those settings." They explain why you use that effect and why it causes this change.
