Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 2, 2004 I might actually buy and use WB when this happens. I just wish there would be some more good skins for it. I'm a fan of the more lean skins and some of the WB skins are too gaudy. That's the ONLY thing stopping me from using it now. You can use MSStyles with it right now, actually. I'm currently using an MSStyles theme on my PC here with Windowblinds. Works quite well, too :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/153632-windowblinds-43-is-going-to-rock/page/2/#findComment-1921271 Share on other sites More sharing options...

heffy420 Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Why is it that when my Object Desktop Subscription runs out.(early April)you guys ALWAYS come out with something new that I must have?

bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 2, 2004 Precedence.But why can't you just set it to be not skinned by WB? :-) I want my theme to be complete. It's just a standard window, but something about the tab creation busts WB.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 3, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 3, 2004 well the tabs work fine, btu the separate 'x' button to close individual tabs in tabbed IM windows does not show up. I would love to use WB because of it's advanced features but compatibility issues like this keep me away from it.

KTamas Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I'm using WB since...since stardock fixed the problem with Worms Armageddon (The olny game what i play - Find me on WormNet with nick Enty /ads off ;) )...Frogboy, do you know the date when it releases?

roth377 Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I would love to use WB because of it's advanced features but compatibility issues like this keep me away from it. As a suggestion, you may want to contact the developers of DeadAIM and let them know of the situation. MyIE2 (for instance) has done quite a bit to make sure WindowBlinds worked with it. DeadAIM may do the same. I wouldn't necessarily lay the blame on WindowBlinds :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/153632-windowblinds-43-is-going-to-rock/page/2/#findComment-1933143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm concerned, it takes presidence(sp?) over WB. Fair enough :) Perhaps its something DeadAIM is doing that is non-standard? Maybe dropping the developers a quick note might help hasten the process :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/153632-windowblinds-43-is-going-to-rock/page/2/#findComment-1933152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 5, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 5, 2004 Yes, actually it is DeadAIM and not WB so I apologize for jumping to conclusions. It's a bitmap in the deadaim resources that WB prevents from being shown.

Spyder Veteran Posted April 5, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 5, 2004 Oh I see. hmm.. maybe they can make it an actual widget? curious.. since you know where that bmp x is, does it still close the window if you click in the correct spot when WB skins over it?

mr_daemon Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Is it really faster than uxtheme patches...? The only skin I use really is Watercolor...

Kane Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 The New SkinStudio 4.2 will be able to port msstyle seemlessly & flawlessly into WB Themebuilder helps in this task. WB uses less resouces than any GUI program i have encountered. To be honest. i believe the future is with WB. it has much more functianality and it has many more features than msstyle could EVER achive. I will be renewing my Objectdesktop subscription whenever it runs out. Stardock has my support 4eva.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 6, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 6, 2004 yeah sure dude, lemme redownload the demo fast then I'll post a SS here it is. notice the missing 'x' in the upper right hand side. This happens with all WB themes.
