Heh heh, well, what I meant about being fun was learning something totally new to me about PS. In researching the shape tool, I found I needed to know more about the pen tool, too, so am following that tutorial now. As far as the icons themselves go, I generally like little tedious jobs like that. We'll see though; there are a lot of them. Peace, Dave
Oooohhh! I see! I've only used that tool to draw the predefined shapes that come with PS. This'll be fun! Thanks!
[quote who="Xiandi" reply="238" id="2973942"]use the the custom shape tool and apply whatever filters or styles to them[/quote] Is this in the Icon Developer? I can't find which of the 4 doors lead me to where these sets of icons are found if so. Peace, Dave
Are y'all drawing the toolbar icons in the Explorer and IE6 section by hand? The examples I've looked at are pretty spectacular. Peace, Dave
I was hoping you wouldn't say that in a way; if you could duplicate it, it could be fixed. At least this way, though, I can be a little more confident that others aren't going to see it. Thanks so much for taking the time to look. Peace, Dave
I think I have your correct email. I tried to send the file, received an error message before the message left my machine, sent a test message which looked like it went through. Cleaned the WBA to reduce it's size a bit, seemed to send. Let me know if you didn't get these 2 messages, and I'll figure out what to do next. Thank you, Dave
Hi there! Both of those options in extra settings are disabled. At some point this evening, I noticed that the rt. click menus were skinning with my wood background and frame in Photoshop, but the drop down menus are still white in PS and in Firefox. Since your message, I checked the drop downs in Explorer; they're skinning properly now, too! I wore Pressurized again, but this time, the grunged version; the drop downs in PS and Firefox are that sort of raspbe
Hi, all; Over the last couple of days, I keep coming back to the same thing. I can't find why my popup and favorites menus load into the preview window in SKS, but none of my Windows applications display them. Backgrounds, menu items, and text color and font all look as I want them to in that preview, but when I open something like Windows Explorer, or IE8, I just see the defaults. Other changes to other elements that I've made since that page are working jus
[quote who="Xiandi" reply="226" id="2969732"]The Plus and Minus Buttons and the Sync button do not use the toolbar buttons for the image. Those use the standard button in the Edit Button Controls section, Check your settings for those there.[/quote] That fixed that. Thank you!

[quote who="2of3" reply="223" id="2969573"]Firefox uses different rules for those buttons..........it`s in the edit color section. Menu text color is what I remember off the top of my head.....but I would have to double check that. I wouldn`t use FF to judge how my skins look if I were you.....so may weird issues there.[/quote] Thanks for the suggestions. Navigating through Firefox's prefs is pretty easy; I'd already been fiddling with that. Even if it

Thank you both very much. Xiandi, it was big help to know part of what was going on. Vampothica, I did try changing the state colors of those other buttons in that group as well; to no avail. I still have 3 small issues as demonstrated here: [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn314/Pwy/ButtonDemo.png[/IMG] 1. Button is in pressed state. Text color for pressed and mouseover are the same and correctly displayed in this screen shot.
Hello, all; I made some initial text color choices for the buttons on the edit toolbar controls page, but wasn't satisfied with them all. I tried changing them again, but it seemed like I'd picked the wrong colors for some states. I changed them all to the normal state color, but many buttons in Windows have remained with the first color choices I made. They remain such even after after a system reboot. The buttons on Foxfire pages retain their original
I'm from the States. Went to England a number of years ago where the driver sits on the right side of the seat, and drives down the left lanes of the roads and highways. Ten minutes from the airport, we came across a roundabout, a sort of intersection where no one stops but goes "roundabout" until their exit comes up. I needed a pee cup after about 3 times around of trying to be in the correct lane without people blowing their horns at me. I'm all for diving in
Thank you; the thumbpicture in WB is displaying just as it should. peace, Dave
Hello all; In the UIS2 Frame Section of Vamp's tutorial, she warns not to import the caption bitmap because of a glitch that causes the loss of the thumbpicture of one's skin in windowblinds. I read to the bottom of the page (end of section 1) and the tutorial doesn't say when to import that caption image. I'm wondering at what point one does that, or if the glitch has been fixed? peace, Dave
[quote who="Xiandi" reply="200" id="2965254"] If they are all set to zero, and the code says Bottom Height=19, something is wrong there. Paint using margins will still work if the margins are all set to zero. It just stretches it from the edge of the graphic rather than from the edge of a margin. Try setting that BottomHeight to zero in the code editor tab and apply it. See if that changes anything.[/quote] I eventually caught that difference, too. You're right; the top and

[quote who="2of3" reply="196" id="2965190"]Or... If your frames have more than 1 layer, check the blend mode.[/quote] This let me to the answer, I think. It's hard to "paint using margins" when there are no margins set. What might have made that easier for me to catch is if there was some kind of consistency, that is, if they were always transparent. That they were solid more of the time than not made it harder for me to resolve. I appreciate you

Hello, all; I have a problem I can't find an answer to. This image is of the upper left corner of my per pixel frame in use.

[quote who="Xiandi" reply="188" id="2961464"]That start button issue on the vertical taskbar cannot be fixed. The top part of the 'glow' is offscreen. When you resize the vertical taskbar, the startbutton moves with it, that's why it's off center. It would be lovely to have different buttons for each taskbar, but right now it uses the same button for both, so we are stuck with an imperfect button for the vertical bar. [/quote] Drat.

[quote who="Xiandi" reply="180" id="2961258"]Uvah was very close. You need the same space around each frame. so if you have 2px around each frame, that would mean that there are 4px between each button, and 2px on each end.[/quote] That solved the issue; thanks Uvah, and Cyndi!
