My fonts are fine anyways. Chris Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/12/#findComment-491969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi1 Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 First,thanks for your work,this is the best theme for me!! I have the same problem! --------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi Binary, I just downloaded this theme from themexp.org, it's fantastic but I have one niggle.. whenever I maximise a window such as internet explorer I get a small 1-2mm border along the top of the screen wher it doesn't fill, I don't mean maximise with button but when right clicking start bar and tiling a window, maybe i'm just being a perfectionist but it'd be great if you could sort it. :) thx. great theme. can't, it's a limitation of the msstyle if you use transparency. Sorry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What you mean with " you use transparency." How can I fix this? Thanks again!

Sorry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What you mean with " you use transparency." How can I fix this? Thanks again! It can't be fixed. I dont know what the big deal is, most people dont leave windows in a fullscreen unmaximized state very long anyways :) And by transparency I mean there are 2 pixels above the titlebar that are transparent to make the theme look right. Windows doesnt understand this transparency, so it figures the 2 pixels are there (I believe even windowblinds has this issue with it's skins). If you notice, Luna has 2 pixels above the caption buttons, I dont know why MS put them off centre like that, so I blame them ;) Believe me if there was a way to fix that "bug" and the unable to resize a small window bug, I would have fixed them by now :) Chris Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/12/#findComment-492059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is due to the fact that a window has a border.... which cannot be removed during skinning and this adds the extra pixels to the top (and all the other sides too)... so you have two choices.... make the titlebar luna style.... or do it the way chris did (and MS in their original implementation).....

semifamous Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I know that you can please some of the people all of the time, and you can please all of the people some of the time, but can my time be now? I was just wondering how hard it would be for me to be able to have three rows of icons in the tray in addition to three rows of time, day, and date. If that's something I can change with ResHack, just let me know how to do it so that I don't have to bug anyone, but that's what I really really want........

I dunno if your the one who emailed me, but I am sure if I allow three rows of icons they will overlap the system tray somewhere from 3 rows and up.

Chris It doesn't *really* matter all that much... I just like the consolidation of having it take up as little space horizontally as possible. Right now, I'm still switching between Watercolor 3.1 and Crystal, which both allow three rows of icons. 3.1 does work well for me, so I can continue to use that if it's not something you're planning on fixing. In any case, Thanks for at least making it possible to have three rows of the time in the tray. That's a very useful feature. =) I did email you once upon a time when your computer wasn't working all that well, but that was regarding three rows of time, day, and date, not three rows of icons. I just thought that three rows of time also automatically meant three rows of icons. I guess not. =) Oh well.

What you've done with it is very nice! I can't tell what little things have been changed from 3.1 to 4.0 or 4.2, but for you to edit a "Final" version and continue to fix it up is very admirable. =) If the fix is something that's relatively easy to do, or it's just one file that needs to be edited, you could just let me know which one and how.

semifamous Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 This is perfect! =) Don't ever let anybody say that you never do anything nice for anybody. I remember way when 3.1 was the "Final" version. Then you came out with 4.0, and the people rejoiced. 4.2 was even better, and you continue to fix things on something that was "Final" months ago. =) Watercolor rocks! And Binary rocks! (That's my way of saying thank you. I really appreciate this, even if I'm the only one who is as picky as I am.) =) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/12/#findComment-499041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
