Reply to roll back to wb4.6....... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

i hate to say it but you're most likely out of luck. WB5 has a MEGA hard time with onboard graphics. you should check into what graphics cards or...if any...onboard chipsets are supported. you may need to splurge on a better graphics card. you need to have a card that supports "per-pixel alpha" times are changing my friend...onboard graphics aren't really good for anything other than running basic windows.

from a skinner's standpoint i will say that the community as a whole has become so much pickier than they have in the past. i'm not sure what the reason for this is. perhaps it has to do with what they feel is a "lack of quality product" coming out going back to the "boredom level" comment. it's almost as if they don't find anything they like, some of the ruder users will take it out on the artists. it's becoming such a chore to make something nowadays

Reply to WB 5 + Per Pixel + Adding Sounds in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Great........another flaw in the new shiny version of windowblinds. Stardock made money getting everyone involved in upgrading to a worthless version of windowblinds Lets see, so far you can't add sounds and you can't skin the mdi window, I guess you can't add roll up buttons either. Whats next?

easiest way to get rid of the archiving on the square images is to turn off anti-aliasing before you draw the box. photoshop is trying anti-alias the edges of your image to make it look "smoother". this works best for squares and lines, not rounded items. don't bother saving your images as .tga's either. save them as .png's and import them into skinstudio. skinstudio will convert it to a .tga for you.

from the looks of things, you have a caption background for the titlebar text. if that is the case make sure you have the "translucent" button checked also, double check the content margins for the content background. additionally, the content background and and the titlebar NEED to be the same size vertically...otherwise they will fight each other and produce the effect you have here. you may also want to go to the visibility setting for the content b

i agree, the thread wasn't a good plan at all. and in all honesty, i knew that it would be taken down...that was kind of the point if that makes any sense. over the past month i have sent emails, contributed to other threads...unfortunately i have never used IRC so i didn't even know that was an option. the thread was a last ditch effort. i remember being brand new at this, and had these negative posts happened to me on my first trys, i know that i wou

Reply to Forward To The Past in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

either way...you can look to the old days stew about what has been. or you can look to the future with excitement. skinning is becomming more mainstream and will bring tons of new technological advances and loads of new artists. the generation coming through junior high and high school has been trained on computers all of their lives. many have already dabbled in creating skins already. many of the pioneers have moved on, but the pioneers a

some may feel that it simply isn't worth it anymore. perhaps this may also be a case of people moving on to other things, also. i know that at some point in the future i will too. and yes i'm sure some are making money at this. i will say that users are incredibly picky now more than ever. we'll see it now with transparency with WB5. users will expect it and gripe when a skin doesn't have it. and the requests for matching skins for other app

perhaps a "report user" link might help. the rude commentors basically have free reign to post whatever they'd like, whenever they'd like. the only hope is that a moderator finds this and takes care of the issue. i understand that WC needs subscribers and that banning someone should be a last resort. WC also needs artists to bring in new subscribers. if we allow this to continue unchecked as it may be, artists may flock elsewhere.

it all depends on your concept really. nebula, the skin i just posted took 4 weeks in production...but for some reason that one just clicked real fast and was a pretty basic concept. all the work went into making it "clean". from the looks of your start panel your concept looks fairly complicated...the more complicated and ornate your concept....the longer it may take. Galaxy took 6 months...it was more of a complex design. I agree, never set a deadlin

haha where to start...where to start. the ever present question. from the looks of things you're off to a great start!! i always find it easier to desing my taskbar and start button and work from there. the taskbar usually defines my theme. how do you apply this start panel you've created? it's easy. you quite simply "chop" it up. in S/S the start panel is divided up into 5 sections. the user panel (top), left panel, right panel, more progra
