Reply to Close button visibility in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Are you trying to create a close button disabled image? Meaning that the image will show if there is no closed button? The problem may be that windowblinds will draw a normal close button whether it works or not. Are you saying that on some windows, windowblinds will not draw a close button? Because, if I remember correctly when I was playing "Quake 3" in window mode, windowblinds did draw a close button but it didn't work. I wouldn't close the window with that button while playing Quak

Adam, your ideas are innovative and your themes are awesome. I'd complain too. But, I know what it is like to hear the complaints, and the time spent making these themes for free. So, I'll just shut up and be patient.

The statement Every time I download any alienware skin defintely is not accurate. The Alienware WMP skins are a direct download. 1) What is the size of the file? What is the name of the file and file extension? 2) If you are working with a zip file and using the built-in WinXP zip program, you need to extract the files before executi

Is there anyway to take the sounds from that one and put them in the other?

Reply to about adding sounds to skins in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Yes, but the instructions are quite extensive. Basically, you want to copy the sound files to the skin folder that you want the sounds. Then, you need to open SS and add the sound attribute to the buttons, and, choose your wav file. Then, you need to turn the titlebar button sounds on for the skin. That attribute is in the personality section of SS, called "SoundsEnable". You may need to add that attribute too, and set it to enable, or "1". <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/smil

Personally, I skin because I enjoy it. I've always been a artist at heart and skinning gives me an outlet in that regard. Sure, download counts, appreciation and comments are nice perks. Some people do want download counts, some people want comments. I say, go for it, in anyway it makes you happy. Adam, I know its difficult when people complain, but it is also nice to know that they like your work. Going back and updating older skins actually helps me to improve my work as a whole. Righ

I've seen a lot of magic pink in some of my skins. It's strange. But sometimes colors didn't always change in 4.3 either. Windowblinds is not a perfect science.

Sure enough it found some objects' that Adware did not. If you downloaded a theme from EZ Theme or a ThemeXP, you probably have a lot more than that. I got Spyware Doctor(not free) and it found tons of stuff that was truly spyware that Spybot and Adaware could not find.

Reply to why does WB 4.4 look like crap in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

These Stardock developers are very tricky fellers. They like making us skinners go back and look at our skins, and see what's now messed up with them. Thereby, maybe forcing us to update them and hopefully make them better. I admit, there's always room for improvement.

Hmm, you mean the system fonts that windowblinds uses by default? Do you know what the All Programs font/size use to be? And can't we define that font? Thanks.

The reason the bitmap appears squished is because you aren't using the right size for it. The size for a 1024x768 monitor should be 1024x608. Then, you need to cut the top and bottom at 80 pixels each. Therefore your image size will be 80+608+80=768 Get it?
