Watercolor Emico


Recommended Posts

Capric0rn,

Here's a screenshot of a small bug I see using Watercolor Ergo in Vista with WB. This problem does not occur with the Black themes. I'll see if I can figure it out on the Ergo. Otherwise they look great!

All the ports to WB have that issue.. I have no idea why though. And it's strange that the Black themes don't have this issue because they're all build ontop of Blue.

Capric0rn,

I found the fix using Skinstudio 5. Here's the screenshot:

That's a different kind of menu. Could you show me the menu in Firefox under Vista?

Sorry, I just notice that the change was made in the Skinstudio menu's but it didn't change it in the Firefox menu using Vista. I keep looking for the fix for Firefox Vista.

I think it has something to do with the separators for the start panel menu's. The ones that you see when you hover over, as an example, "All Programs".

That wasn't it either. Although the font there were both black and I was able to change the muse over to white but it didn/t help the other menus from both showing up black.

I meant the "All Program" menu from XP, it has a skinned menu which is being used in the menus from Firefox in Vista. Also, those shutdown buttons need to be skinned as well.

I'm not at home right now so I can't check it out in XP now. My laptop only has Vista. I'll see about porting in your shutdown buttons.

I can make Vista versions from the shutdown buttons if the size and the extra button is a problem.

Those Shutdown buttons are another Vista bug. Here's the screenshot of them in Skinstudio but obviously they aren't render that way in the finished WB as the previous shot showed.

That's weird :s There has to be a way to have them skinned, because I've seen Vista WB skins that had their own buttons there. Sorry, but I cant allow permission for a WB skin if those aren't skinned on Vista.

If I remember correctly, those can't be changed with a visual style, you have to resource-edit the system DLL containing the images.

You can still release the skin, but you'll have to package it with a pre-modified DLL file so the user can swap it out.

No problem! I just went and looked at some of the VS for Vista and all of the Shutdown buttons are render the same way. Another reason why I like XP better. :)

^There has to be a simple solution for it though. Maybe Frogboy or Island Dog knows it?

@StarLion: Then how does VStyler do it with all of his WB skins?

@tmr250z: I can't add more substyles to this theme. Well I can but I'm not going to because then all the other subtyles should also have the toolbar option. I'll think about the black toolbar buttons. I've tried them already but IMO they should have a color. I'll ask my beta testers.

That's ok, lol, now that I am using the blue toolbar buttons on WE Black, I'm really starting to prefer them over the black ones. :D

^ No, but once you import with SkinStudio5, you can save it and then open/edit it in SKS6.

Oh, you were talking about WindowBlinds skins! Sorry, I thought we were talking about native Windows Vista MSStyles (where a resource edit is the only way to acomplish the change).

WindowBlinds can do it all on its own :)

^That's what I though :p I'll probably have to change the shutdown buttons for the Vista version though.

@C.A.S.K: Thanks! :D
