Once upon a time before perpixel frames you had a lot of button options(was one of Windowblinds big selling points)...I believe it was Tiggs or Danillo that came up with a button script that would allow you to change substyles from a drop down menu.Very cool.

That needs to happen again...with the new colorizing presets and especially those of us who make dark skins with lite subsyles...a quick way to switch would be excellent.

Part of the tray icon maybe?A flyout menu on the desktop right ...

Anybody know where the WB config colorizing presets are stored?I would like to be able to export them somehow.

I'm using a type 1 font for my new WB and I really like it...but Skinstudio dosnt see it in the skin folder.

How do I get it to recognize the font so it will install with the skin?I tried adding it manually but no luck.

I just recently started using WinFX again and here is what I see.

I thought the prog had a checkbox for 'follow window shape' or something like that.

Some skins,all so far that have no fonts assigned in the classic widget section,go to huge fonts on the start menu and window text.

I knew FF had issues with fonts if they were not assigned negative point sizes,but this is systemwide.

Ares by MikeB314 is a newer wb and it has no fonts assigned there.It goes BIG.All of my older skins are crazy looking.

So wassup wit dat?

Is there a reason for this behavior?

I only see this in Explorer and IE windows.(all my skins that have any detail at the right side of the toolbar)

Firefox does not do this.Of course it disappears if you rollup or move another window over it.



All versions of wb have done this on all my pc's.

With some fonts(like Tahoma),no matter how I set the antialias feature in Skinstudio,theywont antialias.

Other fonts will...whats the secret?

My system is using standard font smoothing because I use a crt.

I uploaded a Logon and the photoshop file used to make it called "Pimp my Dubbya Beeeee Logon".I hoped other Wincustomites would customize their own versions and upload them.If the experiment goes well there would be a windowblind done the same way.

So far its been a complete flop.    

What me do bad?

Is it just a dumb idea?

Nobody goes to the Logons?

I recently bought a dvd burner that came with PowerDVD.Until I turned off OD,the video had a black rectangle covering most of the image.Does anybody have a fix?(OD standard and PowerDVD 5)

Some really great changes to WB and SS.Shellstyle titlebar icons,faster loading changes from within SS.Less tooltips in SS.On top shellstyles(which I havnt figured out,hehe).

It just gets better and better.

tried save as...tried unloading WB...loaded other skins,they work fine.I removed a single 'my music glyph'(optional)...and no more shellstyles.

This is the 3rd 'save as' for this skin.

Anyone know how to restore them?
