kahuna Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Xero, great work. I'm a big fan.Small suggestion/request. I'm using the brushed panther windowblind theme. When I have a window maximized, the window retains the rounded corners underneath the objectbar on top. This leaves a small gap. Any thought to making the corners square when maximized?

ssander87 Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Excellent work - thanks!A few questions:* How can I get the icon text backgrounds to be transparent? i.e. without the desktop background color showing up on top of my desktop wallpaper? (WindowsFX does not work for this - menu & window transparency work, but transparent icon text background does not.) (fyi, I'm using "Brushed Panther - 1600.jpg" wallpaper.)* How can I get Explorer "frequent tasks" panes (rectangles below "System Tasks" header, etc.) to use different (e.g. slightly lighter gray) color for contrast?* How can I apply a brushed metal background to Explorer "frequent tasks" panel (i.e. outside of task group panes)?* How can I replace the start button "apple" with a "Windows flag" icon?* How can I reduce the size of the start button, i.e. reduce it's width to just fit an icon with reduced distance to the taskbar separator?* How can I get the up/down sort arrows in Explorer details view column headers to be more visible (e.g. black)? esp. when column header is highlighted, light gray arrows have too little contract to be clearly readable* How can I apply themes to Microsoft Office apps?Appreciate your help. Thanks again for such excellent work. Link to comment
Steve Grenier Posted August 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 cant change the maximized window wb4 wont allow you 2, and for eveything you listed you can do it in skinstudio except for the icon trans i have no idea why its doing that, i dun think anyone else has that prob, try restarting your pc Link to comment
ssander87 Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 Sorry, I should have stated that I'm using the MSSTYLES version rather than using WindowBlinds. Thus my questions.Thanks. Link to comment
Steve Grenier Posted August 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 oh well then you need to ask someone good at msstyles but you can use stylebuilder found at www.tgtsoft.com to edit the theme, just import it Link to comment

aphex_2k Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 ok... total n00b here. can someone explain to me how to install the shell, objectbar and stuff?is there a FAQ somewhere??? Link to comment
[LOF]skinnylegs Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 can someone explain to me how to install the shell, objectbar and stuff?If I were you, I'd start by installing the Msstyle first. It' easy to do and it will give you a taste. Afterwards, you can tackle the other items one thing at a time. Link to comment
