Reply to Please Wait Animation help in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

just curious and since someone else started it... what I have heard so far seems to be related to the "pro" version of WB6. is there a way to insert an avi file for the "please wait" animation without having the "pro" version???

[quote]Wimpy, yes, i am using SKS 5. Sorry about that.[/quote] ah, jazzy, no big deal, it was the "content margins" that gave you away. Content margins/text position same thing. You know, I don't have vista and still find that SS6 provides me more functionality than SS5 did. I do miss the code editor occasionally but importing pngs is much more easy. just thinking out loud. as always, thanks for responding.

Reply to pop-up menus - text/icon position adjustment in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Hi jazzy, are you using SS5? I can't recall seeing any "content margin" references in SS6, I think they are all referred to as "text" adjustment settings??? is there another set of adjustments that I'm not looking at, that would be way cool to find more tweaks. anyhow, this is using SS6, "edit menus and menu bars" edit window, "pop-up menus" graphics (background and menu item) I have adjusted the right text margin of the menu item to various values (5 to 50) and the text

I recently had a problem with AVG doing something similiar with a file in my restore partition. I excluded that folder from being scanned, problem solved. (no, it wasn't a trojan horse) If you choose to do so, maybe Norton will allow you to exclude that folder from being scanned???

pop-up menus - text/icon position adjustment in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

WB6 - SS6.0 - XP(SP2) I'm attempting to adjust the location of where text shows up with pop-up menus. It doesn't seem to matter if my left text adjustment value is 5, 10 or 45, it is still in the same place. Icons are 2 pixels in from left border and text starts at 23 pixels from left border. I am making these adjustments from the menu item text settings.

now I'm curious. these levels (citizen, apprentice, etc.) appear to be assigned by WC, so what is the specific criteria that is applied. I have uploaded eight blinds and participate in the foums (mostly sniveling but some offering of suggestions) and I am rated a citizen. I notice others with far less uploads and minimal participation being rated apprentice. I mean my existence is not dependent upon being recognized for my efforts but if I had some goal that I wanted to attain it woul
