Reply to Help... Start Menu Problem Skin Studio 6 in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

[quote]pictoratus: Thank you for the suggestion. I tried your suggestion exactly as you said and unfortunately, it did not work for me. The ugly default OS shadow around the Start Panel remains and my WB is still being recognized by SKS5 as a UIS1 skin. I truly appreciate your time and effort trying to help me solve this problem. Very appreciated![/quote] You're welcome. :) It's too bad Support hasn't addressed this issue in SKS6. I have a feeling it will continue to be an pr

Reply to Help... Start Menu Problem Skin Studio 6 in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

alphabyte, I had an issue with one of my skins being seen as a UIS1 skin by SKS5. Here's what I did to correct it (not sure if it will fix your issue but it may be worth a try) In SKS6,clean the skin (Tools/Clean Skin), then make a WBA package (File/Make WBA Package), switch to a different skin in WBconfig, then delete your problem skin in WBconfig, then find the WBA package that was created earlier and doubleclick it. This will put your skin back into WBconfig; change

Reply to WHEN DID YOU LAST DO A RE-INSTALL ? ? in Community WinCustomize Forums

Yeah, True Image is the way to go. My last 're-install' was just restoring a previous image I had when something went wonky. I make a new image about every week or so. I also image my data drive ... the one with skins, WIP, etc.

This [quote] Support returned my call and this registration thing is screwed up at the moment. They are well aware of this and am looking into it further. They asked me to use SD Central as this may take a few weeks. [/quote] is from this [link="https://forums.wincustomize.com/306701/page/1/#1688965"]WWW Link[/link] thread.

Reply to Three issues with Rusty Rooster in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

In SKS6 #1) Edit Startmenu and Taskbar/More Programs Background/Text tab - Make left margin more negative #2) Change Skin Colours/Show me the skin defined system colours (drop down box)/Menu - you'll have to play with this to get it close as possible to color of the background of that menu. #3) In Edit Startmenu and Taskbar/Taskbar Group Menu - Make sure to check the text tab in both Background and Menu Items

Reply to . in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

Update .. I heard from Mike with support. Unfortunately, there's not really an answer for why SKS5 does this on some skins. And since it is no longer supported/developed, the best we can do is try to find a workaround. The steps I took worked for me .. sorry I can't offer more. I have let Mike know of the shortcomings of SKS6 which is the reason for continuing to use SKS5. Hopefully, they will implement all the features in SKS6 soon, so we won't need SKS5 any longer.

Reply to Piracy and Political Affiliation in Internet WinCustomize Forums

I tend to think it is the other way around ... I believe, in general, a lot of the people that would pirate/ think they need to 'stick it to the man'/ believe they are owed something/ or are out to get whatever handout or freebie they can get their hands on, tend to be Liberals ... simply for the reason that Liberals are more willing to give out free stuff (money, food stamps, etc.) and if you don't think some people support Liberals because it's the best way t
