Reply to Editing description text without going back in the Q in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

and to our code monkeys... [e digicons]:beer:[/e] I was updating a skin and that damn text box is so small I couldnt see what I wa doing...so of course now its messed up. A tip...when updating text...I dont need to see the stuff that causes line breaks...it only confuses things...just show me the way it is going to look.

Reply to Changing flashingbutton text color not having any affect in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

One more bit of advice for Stardock... When I maximize an edit window...let me choose which tabs to display all at once. Along with a preview that is accurate I could have image,painting,text and extra settings open all at once.THAT would be cool. Also...there needs to be some kind of hinting at NEW settings...even a (gasp) tab? I hate not knowing something and then feeling stupid when I stumble across some new hidden setting...especially if I had to ask someon

One thing that NEED attention now is a lot of the new features have a bunch of standard settings that do zilch...worst offender...image counts. Some of these sections need 1 or 2 image states but SKS shows it needing the default 5.(in help too) Very misleading. I'm a slow skinner at the best of times but I can only imagine how much less time I would have wasted over the years if I didnt have to work around SKS's many flaws. I encourage Stardock to get Neil some

This is one of those areas in SKS that has settings (in two dang places...neither work) that may work in WB someday...maybe. The new application setting is another. This is one of my major gripes about SKS from years ago...there are many settings that have no affect for a paticular section.(content margins are the worst offender) SKS isnt 100% accurate...never has been...you have to learn thru frustrating trial and error what works and what dosnt...or if your just doin

While trying to figure my problem out I found something I have never seen before...only available if you have your toolbar showing(that MS dosnt want you to use anymore) hide filenames?...weird but nice looking if you have a folder of images that you are already familiar with or you just dont need to know the names of. Only seems to affect image formats so its sorta cool . [IMG]http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/irbrainiac/hidefilenames.jpg[/IMG]</p

I swear MS must hate...menus,cascading menus,shortcuts,toolbar buttons,customization,space that isnt wasted,status bars that provide useful info,windows that have only the options I want on display(a preview pane that works...when you want,and for any file)...ME. [e digicons]X|[/e]

Win 7 libraries help...arrange by? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

So far I think the libraries feature in Win7 is about as stupid as it gets...the header is wasted space,but at least we can skin it now. I decided to try and find a use for this feature so it would seem useful. I dont see how its different in ANY way from using shortcuts to ANY damn location on ANY hardrive I have...you can make your own folder full of shortcuts and call it a 'library'. [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e] So...I try to use it and as soon

The skin may have been made before it was possible to do anything with that section.(and just need updating)...or its that way on purpose and you might want to learn just enough about skinstudio to make alterations. Learning to fix 1 thing is super easy compared to Doing a whole skin. [e digicons]B)[/e] The section is Start menu...all programs mode(for using an image)...or...extra settings tab...all programs list background color(use the drop down menu to selec
