Reply to Scary enough for a halloween theme?? WIP thread in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

um, I am scared, what is that? sorry, no sugar here, because I have seen what you Can Do! That is not halloween in any way, more like Barney world. Does not have to be scary, but something with a halloween theme for sure, some pumpkins or spider webs or something. My wip, and I hope it inspires you to Re_create your current wip, still time.

Reply to too many master skins in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Sorry, thought this was the "Become a master skinner" motivation section, my bad. Good grief, I dare not share an opinion, yeah, right. Here's mine. Stardock did most of the hard work for me with sks, which cost 9.99, hmm. Very cheap for all that work. 50.00 for the lot of apps, so cheap, all that code. But, skinners have also invested years into the art field to become masters and that should be counted as well when deciding worth. Years of practice, and free skin

The search area background is only the inactive explorer image, not your glass sections or others, so it should not affect to much else. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] MUST BE A BITMAP for anyone wondering,

Reply to Need help with Start Menu in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

For the bottom of the start menu, search mode, just use the bottom left and bottom right, along with search mode for each side. Do not skin the one piece BOTTOM section, just the others. Now with that done, you could do the gradient as well with those sections , or as a glyph , or additional layer. Do you make your Start menu Image as one piece, then cut into sections, because adding a gradient effect would get better results if you did it with the original. IE: make a

Reply to Need help with Start Menu in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

If you are trying to add those circles and rectangles as a border, try doing it just like you lay out a start menue, then cut that and import as a second layer for each section of the start menue. Or, you can add it the same way, 5 sections to the start menue, each having a glyph layer. That will free you up to adjust things. A third option would be the start menu animation laer, which would be the easiest, just one piece per layer, but you need sks pro I believe, or f

jump list in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

This is the menu that pops up when you right click on a taskbar button, not left click! This text is controlled with the places list color selection, if you made an Item Mouse over, it is controlled there. I had stated in a different post that the start menu pop up menu controlled this, apologies to Lightstar and anyone else who read that! DT1 [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
