chacho Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I love this skin but im annoyed by one thing, the backgrounds. See the screenshot, i would like it to be white would also look much cooler imho. Is it possible that you can change it to white instead of that beige kinda colour? (i cant change it myself i got zero skin building skill... :( ) that bothers me as well, it makes some web pages display incorrectly if they dont have the background color set as white in their code...

chacho Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 excellent! now i have absolutely no problems with this skin! :cool: i use the classic display for folders, because im more used to using tasks out of the context menu than that bar on the side, so i have it disabled. so its all good here :whistle: :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/145446-vs-hmmxp/page/20/#findComment-584362409 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorazine Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Maybe u changed the caption bar height? For some reason I think the caption buttons glyphs on this VS doesnt scale well.

I re-downloaded it, had skin studio convert it and its still messed up. :angry: maybe it had to do with the converting? try using an app that will apply this type of VS directly.

Robbobloke Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 excuse me.. but why does each right corner of every program look like this? :cry: I had that problem with my laptop. Its because your screen DPI is probably set to large (120%) and not normal (96%).
