You've likely already seen this, it's Sed's wallpaper here https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/wallpapers/55874/ but it does always make me smile and maybe it'll work for you. Don't worry, he's got you covered. [e digicons]^_^[/e]

Thanks for the update. I'm pleased to see that Microsoft is at least intending to make the ESU arrangement to home users. It did annoy me when they were doing the patches for XP business users (or was it just government and health care? I forget) but not at all making them available for home users. In other words, they were doing the work anyway but withholding it from the home user. Honestly I wasn't paying attention for Win7 and Win8. I'll be curious to see h

Vintage runs fine on DS11 for me. I don't believe it ships with DS11, I don't remember if it shipped with DS8, so I'd copy it over to a different folder along with any other dreams which may have shipped with DS8 so that they don't end up deleted during any install/uninstall process. I'll also let you know that the "Water" dream is no longer included, it was replaced by "Liquid". I think it's safe to say "Liquid" is an improvement over "Water"; however, if you purchased th

Edit Titlebars and WindowFrames / Edit per pixel buttons, each button listed individually underneath. I've never stumbled upon that particular anomaly though so I don't know what to tell you there. There are actually 2 sections for 2 different kinds of frames and buttons, Per Pixel and UIS2. The Per Pixel frames/buttons are what a person typically sees, used for windows such as Windows Explorer. The UIS2 frames/buttons are used less often, and a person probably

[quote who="Mubuk" reply="7" id="3924772"] The setting "64" in your screenshot is a bit mysterious though, because in my settings, it is correctly stated as "52". [/quote] Those numbers should merely be showing the image dimensions, Width x Height. On an older version of Diamond I have on hand the titlebar height was 52, on the current version of WindowBlinds I have installed it's 64. Which brings up a point - if you're going to edit a shipped skin, it is best

[quote who="Mubuk" reply="9" id="3924843"] reload the Skin Studio program every time I want to see the changes. [/quote] You shouldn't/don't need to do that. If you're editing the image using the "Edit Image" button ("1." in image below), then you should be able to click on the "Force image reimport" text (2.) and then the "Apply skin" text (3.) and load the skin as edited. "Force image reimport" should usually update the previews. Skin Studio reimports ima

If I understand you correctly, you're wanting to edit the minimize button that shows on a window titlebar while it's showing in its normal or maximized state, correct? If so, you're editing the wrong section. You want to go to: Edit per pixel buttons / Standard buttons / Minimize Button. (Might want to change the section you've been editing back to its original settings.)

[quote]New chip and RAM requirements. [/quote] I just can't pretend to be shocked. When Win11 came out I remember saying I'd be torqued off if I bought new hardware for it only to find out in a couple of years it wouldn't run the next version. So I continue to cruise around on my comfortable old battleship with its dings and scrapes and backfires. I've had a look at that 3rd party Windows patch maintenance site and it's looking very reasonable to me.&nbs

One other thing I guess - the less transparency above and below the actual image, the larger it will display. I don't think you can get the button to occupy the entire height of the taskbar though. If you make a solid rectangular image for it in the correct size, you can see the area the button occupies. (And now that I think about it, I'm not sure if having the ratios wrong makes it smaller or if it stretches/distorts it. Sorry, it's been a while.)

The only thing I know is that the button frames should be 96wide x 64high. When I was playing with it, it seemed like the real key was a ratio of 1.5w x 1.0 tall - since it gets resized sometimes I could a sharper image (on my machine) by applying the ratio to a smaller image such as 48w x 32h or 54w x 36h. None of that changes the size the image displays though, as long as the ratio is maintained. If the ratio is off, such as 64x64, I believe the button will appear too smal

Try this (no guarantees): Click on the pencil icon in the main CursorFX window as you did in reply 4. Then when it comes up in the editor window, immediately "Save As" with a different name. (Add to the end of the filename, what I saw was the new theme doesn't show in the main window with the new name even though it sorts based on actual theme name. So, make it "Turkey Edit1" or such and it will show right above the original, or "TurkeyEdit1" and it will show right below t
