It can be done, just nobody has ever done one yet or on WC yet. Thin styles are pretty neat.
Alpha blend has to be on for glyphs.
erm No. Any image in the skin can be 24bit except shellstyle large images which have to be 8bit or 16bit to work, and if TGA will only work as 32bit. Plus also best not to have images that have no transparency checked for translucency.
MSStyles using them aswell.
Or you could simply just turn them off in XP by going to "My Computer Properties / Advanced / Performance settings / 4th checkbox at bottom *Use a background image for each folder type* That way any skin you use wont have those glyphs in view.
No you cant make it Magic pink, just have to blend it with background image colour if you wish. In colours section under "Menus / Menu - Highlighted background (XP Only)" If you also want to change Text colour for that part its Section above there "Selection / Text - Highlighted" as this is shared colour with All Programs text and selected MDI button.

People still cant get it right... StyleXP is not program its crack. MSSTYLES never gets updated same as it is since October 2001, how often does WB get updated new tweaks features performance and other things added.... couple weeks to month. WB does not slow PC down unless its an animation skin which runs all the time, plus its down to skin author on how the UIS etc is getting painted.... streching everything on a skin will slow you down and same with alot of 32bit images. Plus
Yes you heard right, Blackcomb has it Sage & Lina Silver IIRC.
erm, that could be quite bad from what i heard, more buttons on titlebar and the skin can become very slow. Just something to think about here, or otherway you could do this is make buttons slide out, have a look at GreenReaper's Blackcomb grayhaze just to see *always ontop and roll up/down buttons* so it is not cluttered. This you coming back to WindowBlinds again grayhaze? Good t
It looks great from the Trailer's, ill just be waiting for it on DVD.
Or even better, somehow a way for users on the site to make their own maybe and submit it no..? A WinCusto WeB skin gallery of some sort. [Message Edited]
Just curious... those with Defrag problems what file system you on? I've never been keen on MS stuff, Norton Disk Doctor always seemed to fix things, and always prefered Speed Disk.
»"Lecrayon I copied his bitmap in my skin, no luck...copied my 8 bit bitmap into his skin, also nothing displayed...Restored the sage image in his bitmap and voila... Very strange. I must be doing something wrong" What no images at all? Sure you have it set in My Computer Advanced Properties, as i made this mistake while back. This be in Performance Settings "Visual effects, processor scheduling, memory usage, and virtual memory" 4th checkbox from bottom
16 bit works fine too, no higher tho, plus those images can be any size for lower right images.
No not yet, from what it looks in SDC dated 03/20/2003 still 619, probably other fixes and features going on for the next update.
I usually just do a mock up in PS first just to see how the design should look, then transfer images to SkinStudio. Just one thing tho, if your going to start a Blind, start it from scratch with Default Luna template, much easier this way.
Yeah great idea Mad, or even small list of Stardock apps for top skin sections of some sort.. Also maybe another thing id like to see that ArtUproar can do, is you can arrange the site layout for each account. That way you can see Top skinners or whatever on how you view them. Just throwing idea's aswell..
Oh and stay away from IBM, i find their HDD's evil
NTFS file system just sweet for this with Norton Speed Disk, usually defrag every one or two months, and thats with loads of gaming working with graphics and such. Also fixes out the prefetch files. With FAT32 was usually once a week. Norton Usually has best tools.
TGA for window borders would be real bad
hmm seems there could be some odd things happening with the two versions, like how you had same problem with BBX but was not showing in V4.
