#17 by Çërêb®øJÐ - 3/19/2004 6:54:33 PM 3) The mouse-over and clicked state frame positions are the reverse of what skinstudio says they are. Thus, the put your mouse-over image in the third frame, and it doesnt matter what goes into the second frame, since there is no pressed state The coding glitch that has caused the reversal has been brough

Çërêb®øJÐ , it already is in that thread, as I stated in my original post. The tip was posted by Laurence Parry, TheGreenReaper. It is post #57 https://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?BID=WCS&id=187649 All I did is bring it to your attention. The real credit goes to brewman, the original author and Snidely Whiplash who ported the skin to WB, and to Laurence who brought it to our attention.

Satans Child. Take another look at the skin. Specifically, open the Stetz Folder in your Windowblinds folder. Have a look at the OliveStartPanelMoreProgArrow.bmp. He made all three states of the arrow large enough to cover the More Programs panel background, the hover background color and the All Programs text so that you never see them no matter which state is active. His is a solid color because that fits his theme. Yours can be glassy or fuzzy or even psychedelic and animated if you

You might want to download and check out this skin: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=1&SkinID=3921 by Snidely Whiplash. He used an oversized graphic for the All Programs Arrow bitmap to eliminate the hover color completely. The graphic covers it up. You could even use this to animate the arrow. By the way, I got this tip from TheGreenReaper in the Unofficial SkinStudio Documentation T

Just a guess, but are you on dialup? When you click on a Newest Addition link, your browser only has to load the preview image for one skin. When you click on a Library link, your browser has to load more images, and the page may be timing out (taking too long to load). You could try changing your preferences under the Edit Account link at the top of the page. Try checking the box to Optimize for Speed, and/or change the number of skins you want to view at one time. <img src="http://images.star

Why not take a shot at making your own bootskin? https://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?id=219204&BID=WC&page=1#255059 It's really not that difficult, and then you could have it exactly the way you want it.

Does the image you are using for the bargraph have both the background image and the progress bar image in the same bitmap? The background image needs to be a part of the main bitmap you are using for your Sysmetrix theme. The bitmap for the progress bar is the only other image needed. In other words, you need to paint the bargraph background on top of your main Sysmetrix background and if you use layers, merge it with the background layer so it all becomes one bitmap. If your main back

The words Delete, Drop, Insert, and Select will not show up in a post to this message board if you type all of the letters consecutively in lower case. This includes forms of those words which use the same combination of letters, for example Deleted will show up as d. All that is necessary to make them appear is to capitalize the first letter of the word.

Could you please be more specific about the problem? You say that the images are not working properly, but we need to know more than that to help you. Are the images not showing up at all? Are they not aligned properly? Are they not running in the right direction? Are they working for one feature, say cpu, and not another? Please be as descriptive as possible. By the way, it has nothing to do with tiling. Sysmetrix always displays the full background image and only displays a fraction o

I may be burned in effigy for saying this, but I wouldn't get rid of all those skins if I were you. If for no other reason, keep them because you can convert the ones you like to WindowBlinds for your personal use with Skin Studio. And like Travis, I never had any problems with StyleXP conflicting with WB as long as they weren't both open at the same time. I only uninstalled it after I discovered how much better I liked WB. And I had no problems uninstalling it, by the way. <img src="http://ima

I agree with what has been said above, for the most part. And I think A67 made a good point when he talked about new skinners. I know I myself have been working for months to develop something I felt would be good enough for my first submission. I definitely want to do some new and different things. The suite I'm working on now will definitely qualify in that regard... whether it will be accepted remains to be seen. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/jokegrim.gif" border=0 ALIGN

.xptheme file extensions are for the old WinStyles themes. Many of them no longer work with the current version of Theme Manager. In order to help you better, it will be essential for you to tell us specifically with which theme you are having trouble, from where you downloaded it, and it would be helpful if you could tell us which version of ThemeManager you are currently running and which OS (WinXP, Win2k, WinME, Win9x) you are using.

"if it ain't broke, don't fix it" And if it isn't broke, then you don't need to resubscribe to ODNT. That's one of the really brilliant things about the way that OD has been marketed, in my opinion. At the end of the term of your subscription, you'll still have the software at the level it reached at the end of the subscription. You just won't ha

Actually, it's only $34.95 to renew your subscription, and frankly I still think it's a bargain at that price. Think about it, you get the latest and greatest updates as they occur including new features as well as fixes for equal to or less than the price you pay to upgrade other software once a year or every other year at most.

Why can't current leaders be quotable and notable too?... In addition to Sput's response, I see a few other factors. 1. I venture to say that very few of today's politicians and leaders have the command of language held by those 'ancient' statesman. The de-emphasis of language arts at every level of the curriculum in our schools has resu

also sometimes the images are decreased from 24 colors to 16. If the original image has 24 colors, then it is NOT 4 bit 16 colors. 4 bit 16 colors means exactly that... there are ONLY 16 colors in the image.
