icons are in icon form already arent they???.. Do you mean how to sort them on your desktop?
well i believe that most of you who have skinned alot in the past might feel more comfortable in SKS 5 and are set in your ways, Alas for a new user SKS 6 is easier to understand and learn in. Where SKS 5 gives you too much info and tabs and buttons and a tree and loads of stuff you don't understand until you have made your first skin, i like SKS6 for the most part it isn't finished its in beta still even if they say its finished they aren't helping themselves by implementing stuff that does
same problem.. someone messing around in the forum code? :)
Well good luck.. tried just so see how i felt without cigarettes here the other day went 20 hours without a cigarette ..hehe was like walking on clouds and high on some stimulant quite funny actually then smokes a cigarette not for the craving had them in my pocket for a while... and came back to earth :) still i might quit later in life.. but for now i just like smoking a lot and the smell of tobacco ..ahhh the smell always loved it even i clothes.. so next year is year 11 of tobacco heaven.. b
Entered a WB Whitebear :)
[quote]Again, I'd love to see a checklist that the uploader has to complete to be certified "Vista-Ready". Even better (because I'm lazy) a system that parses the WB code and images and assigns "Vista-ready" or "WB6-ready" on it's own. [I wonder if a DX widget could do that? Guess we'd need to set some criteria first, huh? Any DX coders/WB skinners want to take a shot at it?][/quote] Sounds like a great idea! Hope it happens :)
Looks like you can do it either way.. works the same.
Well this is driving me crazy even if the code is right saving the skin in SKS 6 messes things up again. Anyway... heres a mini tutorial for anyone having the same problem as me :) Hopefully it will get fixed in the next release of SKS 6. Solution dont touch any of the shutdown/logoff parts in SKS6 do this last (if you are using SKS 6 as main editor) in SKS 5 and finalize your skin. You need all in all 4 images 2 for the regular backgrounds and 2 for the per pixel ones. And it
Thank you for all your help! much appreciated! :CONGRAT:
So let it be? and it will display ok in next wb release? Yeah you know the desktop fade to gray when the shutdown dialog shows... where can i find it in sks?
[quote]What would I do without a space... [/quote] Ahhhh... space the final frontier...
Help! Anyone here? :) Well using SKS 5 and following the above tips i now have pp log/shut dialogs.. problem is the blue standard.bmp show thru at button corners and log off icons..(only at the logoff dialog, the shutdown show the right background the bmp version looking the same as the pp one) also is there a way to turn of the dimming of the screen i get that frame around my logoff dialog.. since its smaller than standard. I have searched but couldn't find a good answer.. als

[quote]Sort by color PLEASE![/quote] +1 Also better personal pages make it more "community like" they are a bit limited and with a bad layout atm. PM buttons! so users can interact more.. overall more interaction possibilities for users. TY thats my 2 cents atleast for now :)
Question for windowblinds do you have to skin shellstyle icons music/film/pics? and controlpanel icon? And if you do.. what size are they and how can i make them any good tips tricks plz ;) Also the startmenu more programs popup looks better without a background does it have to be skinned?

I would suggest GimpShop only other app other than Photoshop i would recommend... That is speaking from my own experience BUT i have not tried paint.net.. Looked over at paints.net's site looking to features it sure looks promising :) Either way Gimp or Paint.net (Free and powerful apps that) I think it will be all good, it's first when you get somewhat familiar with the app the magic start's to happen ;) GL! i dont think you can go wrong here either way :)
