I'll give that a try and see how it goes. Thanks yet again for your help. (guess I should have asked you first before I posted:D)

Hi Pic, I did'nt think that the pink in the preview mattered either. That's why I was so shocked when it was rejected. Maybe he got the pink on the skin....maybe he saw it in the preview window and assumed it was on the skin too? I dunno. I'm awaiting his reply. I looked at another skin that used a .bmp for the top bar with magic pink in it. The pink is not showing on the preview of that one. I'm wondering if the fact that my computer will not support per pixel has anything to
I submitted my first Windowblind. It got rejected! The reason was because the window frames 'were showing magic pink'. I sent a note to the moderator but have not heard back yet (I think he might be busy). Heres my issue. When I import the pieces as .tga this is what I get....

I've had that problem with the text you're showing in the picture..I do not have Firefox. I'm using IE7 on Windows XP Pro, so I'm guessing it's not a Firefox issue.
I'm very sorry for your loss. You and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers.
Wooo Hooo!! Talc is done and submitted. Awaiting moderation now. Thank you all for your help!! :CONGRAT:
You post was not long winded, or a waste of time to read. I agree, the subscription is well worth the money! I've been a member here for less than a year and it feels like home. The people on this site feel like family. There is no other place that can compare to it. I will renew my sub every time its due. You all are stuck with me!!! :LOL:
I thought you DID fix it. It's up now, I didnt do anything.(shrug)
PM sent. Thanks! :D
I uploaded my desktop screenshot to my personal site last night. It shows the image on the "update images" screen as if it took the image, but it's not showing on my personal site. It's not a big deal, I can try to upload again when I get home tonight but, it WAS on my site last night and now it's not.
GIMP. It's free. (I'm thinking that most of the votes for the "other" catagory are GIMP users)
[quote]me loathes the man[/quote] I'm with you on that one.
Way to go!!!! :CONGRAT:
[quote]OD free is nice...good program. OD+ is friggin' awesome!!!! I'm not sure I could live without it..... [/quote] Ditto! You wont lose your icons when you switch. I saved them in another file anyway, just in case, and never had to use it. The tabbed docks are so cool and the ability to tweak the colors wonderful. You'll love it!
Awesome news! I'm so glad he's doing better! :D
Thought I'd stop in again to tell you that I found where to change the background of "more programs" on the start menu in SKS6. It's under "change skin colors". If you go there, at the top of the screen is a dropown menu, choose "show skin deined system colors"....it's the "menu highlight" button. :D
[quote]Unless you have a viable reason for making a substyle.. on your first WB, I wouldn't bother with a substyle of any kind. [/quote] I thought I might want to for all the colors I need, but it looks like windowblinds will recolor pretty well. I want to match all the other colors I have on my other Talc stuff.
[quote]Btw..... you're making a "Talc" WB? [/quote] Sure am!! :D I still need to skin the Vista parts, and do a little cleaning up before it's ready. I'm looking for someone with Vista to test it, any takers?
I have a couple more questions... On the start menu, when I mouse over the "log off" "turn off computer" and "all programs", it's blue(yuk). I can't figure out how to change that. Is there a way? What are "coloring masks" for, and how do you use them? Are there any tuts out there for creating sub styles? I have no clue how to make one, or if I even need to. Thanks again for all your help. :D
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Congrats Bebi!!! :CONGRAT:
[quote]DAY 8 ..All is well.... Smoke free ! [/quote] Way to go!!!
Got it fixed, you were right. :D I turned off the color managment in Gimp and unchecked the box in Windowbinds that allows you to change the color of the blind. All is well! Thanks guys!!
Go ahead and get Object Desktop, I got XP Professional (32 bits) and it's wonderful!! :D
