just some starter images to get a feel. Dave has a copy and is going to get back, but, should I be using an xml instead of ini?

You can see everything is malaligned

AS a matter of fact, you may want to create a just in case Rainy, just in case I fail severely that is.

no more negativity Mr Doortech... you're going gangbusters...

It can be lined up easy with a little work, thought that is why I received them. But I see Uvah is now doing this so I will send them back to you. Since you already have them I will just delete form my computer.

list not set in stone.. I was just going off comments past.... are you doing Rainy Dave?... just awaiting feedback from people to adjust/update list ... maybe Uvah is just teaching...

 

Subsecret has two quite different styled Rainlendars... so that might be an interesting direction to take...   link...

maybe a dark brown glassy transparent one as well as a framed one...

Brian used one of my templates from one I had made. his graphics were much larger and nothing lined up plus graphic name problems. He sent me all the graphics so I was going to line it all up and re-size the graphics a bit. 

The two different graphics were going to be used for the same rainy. One for the main part and the other for the todo and event. Guess I will wait till tomorrow and see what is going on.

Actually, you'd get .tga files, which aren't as easy to work with as PNGs and PSDs.

 

Opening the WB in SkinStudio and extracting what you need would be better, IMO. Be careful not to save changes though, or you'll mess up your copy of the blind.

don't think he's up to it... getting harder to sit at the computer... would have been good if he could do some docks if you have too much on your plate... share it around a bit.. but I doubt it from how he last said he was feeling....

so.. we are all happy to continue in this thread... no special one?   no one's said 'not' yet.... 

if so, can someone/Denis upload graphics psd's and link please?...

thanks, but  I don't need it specifically, was just wanting a link to this thread for others joining to have quick access to graphics they need...

maybe doortech as he has the zip... can upload it for us...

 

bleumart..... you might like to add to your 'Metall Tech' windowblind gallery description/comment area that accessory skins for your blind, as listed above, will be becoming available, so people downloading now, know they will eventually be able to have a full suite... and can come back and look out for them..

Reduced 35%Original 1680 x 1050

You can see everything is malaligned

Which version of Rainlendar do you have? 0.21 or 2.21 There's a big difference. The older version uses one simple .ini file while the other uses XML and is hard to work with. I suggest using the older version. The newer one can be quite confusing. If you have the older one do this. right click on the rainy then mouse over where it says skins, at the top click on edit current skin. That will open the config window. Look at the top. There are four boxes X Y W H.

The X will align the text left and right. Y will align it top to bottom. W will adjust how wide the text is and H controls the height. Increase the X value to move it slightly to the right then increase the Y value to move it down. Next increase the W value to make it wider and the H value to so that it covers more of the background. You'll have to play with the numbers a bit to get it right. Take your time doing this. Try to keep the margins equal. There other steps but this one is needed first.

Tip: If you use PS you can get the WB graphics by using the bridge. I have PS9. On the top there's an icon. If I click on that it opens the bridge. You can just navigate to the WB skin folder, click on it and the graphics for the WB will be listed. To open them in PS just right click on that graphic and the dialogue box opens. Mouse over open with...it should say Photoshop (default). Click on that and PS will take it from there.

Thanks uvah for the info, Dave got my stuff and should get me there now, please stay on standby for a smx sometime, I will need your expert help for sure, you rock bud, thanks.

No, I can not share that folder bluemart sent me. It took an hour and a half to download!

 

bluemart is just having trouble understanding the posts, language barrier.

I suggest letting him send to each of you, just pm him with an email and ask he send itt, he will, he is happy about this project.

 

 

7zip, extract to a folder, use what u want works also guys.

Oh, and me and Dave are going to make a better skin than you Well, Dave might!

I've been zipped,lol. I love language barriers, makes me laugh. I will never try speaking a different language, I would be afraid of what I may say.

The folder was just a wba inside, just extract from the skin in any of the ways suggested above would be easiest.
