Use the frikkin screenshot section for screenshots . Problem solved. Posting it in the forums takes it beyond this sites watchful eye. TSF has every right to protect their work in this situation. The OP does gives the impression that the theme was made by him. He is no ways clear about anything. There is history here that some may not be aware of. While I think TSF is a sellout, I support them 100% here...and btw, almopst everyone is a sellou

There is no such thing as good ole days. Right now will eventually be the good ole days for someone in the future, which tells me I would be missing out on the now by living in the past. [e digicons]o_O[/e]

Reply to wb 6.3 and ie 8 blank menus in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

For some reason it happens with some XP systems. The drop doen menus are blackened out. If you give all of the pixels on the menu image some transparency the problem goes away but if the menus have smooth/ transparanet corners but have solid pixels throughout elsewhere the the pixels turn black. As far as I know, everyone that had the problem is on Xp sp3. No other info. I prefer my menus solid as they get a wierd shadow if transparent.

Reply to Windows 7 Public Beta Available Friday in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

IMHO they should relaease it as Vista SP 2 and regain some consumer confidence. Companies certainly won't be upgrading sytems over the next couple of years. Many didn't upgrade to Vista. I just don't understand the move by MS. Well, I understand it, I just feel cheated by Vista. $ 3500 of hardware to run the shitty OS.

Reply to The end of WinCustomize in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Phoon, I understand what you are saying but the all programs mouseover might be a bad one to use as example. A master skin has to work flawlessly on all systems. There is a language and settings issue with the all progrmas area that sort of pins a master skin into having to be that mouseover instead of an image. Otherwise it will be screwed up on some systems. All I am saying is on this one, it's not really laziness but handcuffed. :)

Reply to help with button backgrounds in SkinStudio WinCustomize Forums

The magic pink pixels must be 100% 255-0-255 and no transparency can be used. Magic pink images must be .bmp format. You had it right when you got the white background. You just didn't have the right settings selected in skinstudio. Use a .png/tga image to get true transparency. There are checkboxes for transparency and translucency in skinstudio. check them both off for png images and just check off transparent when using a bmp.

Reply to Gap around window edge / thick transparent frame in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote]So are drop shadows just a standard feature of most skins these days? [/quote] Almost all of them. The shadows are part of the graphics making up the window frames. Some have sm,aller shadows than others. UIS2 frames are used when you turn off per pixel borders. Per pixel is required to get smooth edges and corners. With UIS 2 you get the jaggies.
