Reply to Interesting way to make animations for windowblinds ... if you have flash and GIF movie gear. in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I've used Flash, Photoshop and 3ds max for the animations in my skins, all work perfectly with GIF MovieGear, simply because it can import numbered bmp's and avi's per frame. All you gotta do afterwards is compress it with RLE 8 bit and your animation is ready. The great thing about using Flash, is that you can import png's (or other images) and animate them smoothly.

Reply to use windowFX to make application windows transparent except text? in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

I don't think WindowFX can make everything transparent except the text, it makes an entire window transparent including the text. You can change system fonts by right-clicking your desktop, &#115elect the Appearance tab, click Advanced (and in case you have WindowBlinds installed - click Other advanced controls in the next dialog box). Then you &#115elect an item from the drop-down menu and change it to another font/size.

Reply to What utility do I need to convert Mac icons to Windows in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

Oopsiedaisy, that should read *.sit. Zits are something completely different.

Reply to What utility do I need to convert Mac icons to Windows in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

*.zit is another compressed file format, created by Stuffit. It used to be the default compression app for Mac, but now that OSX has build-in zip compression it's slowly fading in popularity - though still used. You can get it here for Windows as well: http://www.stuffit.com/win/index.html I don't know if ID will do it, but I know for sure that Axialis IconWorkshop can do it - but it costs http://ax

By adjusting the left content margin for the arrow bg image. Set it to approx. -73 to -80, test it and see which number works.

Take a look at existing skins that does it, like DogmaX, Venus, Vector, Ascension. The trick is to adjust the background arrow image and set the content margins correct.

Reply to Why ohh why I'm having the stupid little issues with stardock software? -( in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Unfortunately I do believe just that, because I've never had any problems with WB or any other app from Stardock. The only app that's caused problems for me is QuarkXPress Passport, but that's not Stardocks fault - it's Quarks. Quark only seem to like UIS1 skins and not UIS2, so I have to use those instead. Some apps are coded so they don't like getting skinned and Quark is one of them. I've only tried Flash MX and no problems there - wouldn't know about FireWorks or DreamWeaver. Adobe
