KoL Veteran Posted November 7, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted November 7, 2005 Maybe with the beta 2?Per-Pixel frame and title bar animation support (skinners can create some really cool animated title bars and borders now). 586776567[/snapback] I mention the fade thing to Adam from Stardock, I hope the add that in future versions. The fade is not animation, its part of the overlay image (the gloss) in the normal title bar buttons. The way the per pixel titlebar buttons are done is different. Kol, will you ever create a small taskbar version? 586776642[/snapback] nop Nice theme but I seem to get this problem when I run it in the "Glass mode". Does anyone else have this red border in the dropdown windows??? 586776705[/snapback] what version of WB are you using?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isakowski Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 OK, if you wont make a small taskbar version, can someone create a startbutton for the small taskbar version. i mean resizing the original so that i can override windowblinds settings to small taskbar size without stretching the startbutton...

It fits my Dell 2405FPW nicely. Edited November 8, 2005 by ishiok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbradleyt Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 KOL, Does the free version of SkinStudio support changing shell styles? I know you can use a shell style from other WB skins in the User Overrides section, but how would I use a one from a file such as what you would provide? By the way, a top shell style would awesome. A top shell style is where the side (explorer) bar that has your tasks (such as Play all for music) right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grdh20 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 In the latest build of WB5 beta2, the Glass Normal WB5 skin lost it's transparent title bar, but the compact still has a transparent title bar. very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted November 10, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted November 10, 2005 Kol, love the work so far :) Just a quick question regarding the alternate shellstyle, will you be giving a tutorial/instructions how to import it with skinstudio?

grdh20 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 both versions are fine here, Hmm, I tried it on a completely different box with the same results. Compact has a transparent title bar and Glass Normal doesn't. Oh well, I'll just leave it on Compact. Funny thing is that on 4.90 it worked fine on both boxes. Only thing changed was update to 4.95.

Open Skinstudio, on the toolbar go to Tools /Windowblinds/Import shellstyle file.

Tweaker Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Thanks tweaker (Y) Will the original shellstyle still be available afterward though? Thanks for your reply thus far :) 586796001[/snapback] When uou import a new shell the old is not available unless Kol were to put a seperate folder with shells in it so the the orignal could be re-imported. A work around would be to save the theme with the imported shell as a sub-style. That's what I did for the one in the screenie. You can do that by telling Skinstudio to 'save as' and give the new theme a name. In this case I saved is Vista Glass Normal. Hope that helps!

The Startmenu didn't show up in the screenie nor the frame of My Computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
