Reply to WindowBlinds delay in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Please, please, PLEASE release an update to the UIS+ file reference document - particularly for the new shelltyle sections. Just a single page outlining the parameters, which XP elements they relate to, and under what circumstances you see them in XP. (I'm delaying my current release because I haven't got any documentation and there's stuff I can't get to work and I don't know why...) (er.

Well done Mike - that's the answer I was looking for. In that case I'll post the skin without the folder backgrounds once I've finished off the Control Panel stuff. Koasati - I agree. (Whew - thought it was just me. Hmm... maybe there's a magic word?) Thanks Mike.

Well I have the shellstyle.xps file set up and everything, and the logoff/shutdown stuff is all ready. The problem is, I can't see explorer background images even for other skins which have WB4 (Colony, Sammy). Am I just looking at the wrong screens on XP? Please, please, nice MR Stardock man, can you update the UIS reference docs? (I'm sure it'll only take five minutes...)

I need WB4 help in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Ok - I confess. I use a text editor to do all my skins, not SkinStudio. There I said it. Now the question. How the heck do I see the new WB4 dialog backgrounds? Do I have to have something switched on in Windows or in WB? On a similar subject, is there a list of what the new ShellStyle options are? (In a reference document rather than in SkinStudio.) If there isn't, can some kind pers

wb skinning question in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

If you use a hyphen (a 'dash') in your image file name, does it cause problems with WindowBlinds? I always use the underscore character, but I'm having a problem with a skin which has dashes in the image filenames. ??

Reply to Goodbye. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Sorry Doreen... Sincere thanks for all the kind words. This _will_ be just a break rather than a complete retirement. Fear not. Expect something later in the year. The reasons? 1) time - I haven't enough of it at the moment (hence the lack of a response from me to all these comments) 2) inspiration - I haven't enough of it at the moment (after about eighty NextStart theme

ObjectBar skinning problem - importing XP skins in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Come on now - I'm sure some of you young skinners out there can help a senile old fella... I'm having a problem with OB when it use an XP WB skin to create an object bar on Win98/W2k (i.e. a non-xp system). I'm confused as to how it decides how tall the taskbar is. I have a taskbar image of 30 pixels and a resize bar of 6 pix, but on my snapshot the actual taskbar is 34 pix tall (including the resize bar). Another thing is that the systray is overlaid at the right end of the ta
