Reply to Question for Skinners: Are you updating themes for Windows 7? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

1. I think many of the old ones are too old to update. Some of the new ones perhaps. 2. I just finished one. Although it's for XP and Vista as well. 3. As John mentions about supporting 3 OS's, this is one of my griefs as well. I can manage 2, 3 is a bit much. Yeah, I'm lazy, but I also support progress and would love to see people move away from XP to something new and modern. There's a ton of time consuming bits to XP skins that are annoying to do.

I see the point regarding the taskbar button color, like I said above. It's something I could "fix", if Stardock decides so. I just wanted the selected state to really stand out next to the others, and I tried different colors all along the building process. I see the point regarding the start button too. I think Jeff might have an idea there. We don't agree on the ankh symbol though, which is fine. It's all just a matter of opinion, and no one have pissed me of here. To each their own. :)

The "green"/teal color is based on one of the colors on the death mask of King Tut Ankh Amon, like the rest of the skin is, on the mask. It is used elsewhere in the skin, which this screenshot doesn't really show. Like on the back/forward buttons in Explorer in Vista. Misplaced? No. Design mistake? No. Unless you think that, and that's fine, but then you don't know which color scheme it's based on. Blue color is used for the flashing button. I suppose someone would argue to reverse the two, if t

Winter Wonderland is a different theme and author, as I take on the seasons with a different approach, where Winter Wonderland is more Christmas-ish. :) There's still two more for me to wrap up.

[quote]Also I am still curious if there is in the works or will be in the works a Fall or Autum type theme. Stardock made the other 3 seasons and I think it would be great to finish em off with a Autumn or Fall theme.[/quote] We have only made 2 as of yet. Fall and winter is coming. :)

Reply to Vista WB skinning shared knowledge and tips thread in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

There's a limit on the width on the per pixel window left and right side frames. I think if it's over 40 px wide you're screwed as the transparency won't work, below 40 px you're fine. Discovered that on my current project (had a white square appear below the built in frame shadow), Neil clarified my issue so I could fix it.

Reply to Vista skinning questions. in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I had the issue when I did the Pirate theme. The bottom image is 57 pixels high on that one. And it appears Brainy added extra transparent space to his bottom image on the screenshot to lift it over the huge start button. Content margins have nothing to do with it. It's the physical size of the image itself. It shouldn't mess it up, if your bottom image is below 58 pixels.
