Reply to Value creation failed in Customization Software WinCustomize Forums

You copied some of the code from the UIFILE.txt file, but it's not that you should look in. Look in theme.ini, count the lines downwards to line 18. It'll look something like this: UserFrameSelected=YourSkinName_FileName.bmp You have to make sure all the sections of the logon are assigned to the correct images in your logon folder.

Reply to Fair Play in New Releases WinCustomize Forums

It says the unmodified theme may be freely redistributed. I read that as, the msstyle - as it is - may be redistributed anywhere. However you ported it to WindowBlinds and you need the authors permission to do so. He must know you ported it to WB and give you his consent. Even if you haven't changed the colors or anything like it.

Reply to TGA images in Photoshop CS - not transparent in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I believe CS added nested layers, folders with folders of layers in them. Great for the layout process of a skin. Other new things that I benefit from is the healing brush and patch tool, really awesome for photo retouch that I do a lot of at work. Also Adjustments -> shadow/highlight (RGB) can really make a bad photo much easier to work with. Check out danillo's comment #5 to this article http://adam.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?aid=2574&SI

Reply to TGA images in Photoshop CS - not transparent in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Oh like that... Well PS flattens the image, so it will automatically get a white background. TGA's can't be transparent the same way as a PNG can. It's transparency is defined in the alpha channel. I suspect you're gonna use a tga for a skin, make sure you enable Transparency and Translucency for your image and watch the result in SkinStudio.

Reply to Progress Animations for WB in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

The animations must be 272x60 px in size. Obviously you choose the program to make the animations in, Flash, Photoshop etc., but in the end you have to save it as an compressed MSRLE 8bit avi. A program like Gif Movie Gear is widely used by people here: http://www.gamani.com/

Reply to Switching to Mac in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Stardock hasn't made any apps for Mac customization. You'll need to visit http://www.unsanity.com who offers plenty. You can use CursorXP skins with Mighty Mouse though. For icons you would need CandyBar: http://iconfactory.com/cb_home.asp There aren't many skins yet for ShapeShifter, but it's getting more popular. To see what's going on in the Mac GUI community you could try these sites: http://macthemes.net/ http://forums.ma

Line 14 looks similar to this in your skin: ButtonUnDock=Skinname_Button_Background.bmp You have to make sure all those image files are linked correctly.

Reply to Window Blinds skin problem in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Might be a content margin issue. Open the skin in SkinStudio, in the left tree go to Taskbar -> System Tray -> Horizontal Tray, then in the right tree -> Content Margins adjust the Top and Bottom values.
