Reply to Icon in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I have the very same problem. The proprietary usericon for the skin I am using used to be displayed, if it had one. I think there was one skin that had a horrid usericon, hehe, so I disabled that feature in the User Overrides section. Then just today I wanted to have the usericon for the "Antares" skin displayed and enabled that option again. But the default usericon only displays. I've reapplied the skin, logged off/on, and rebooted but no go. And yes

Reply to Question about icon size in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Corky_O & Koasati, Thanks ... I reset the icon size to 32 and the improvement was remarkable. One can only guess why the size was set to 39. Hopefully, this will stick from now on.

Question about icon size in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Let me see if I can explain this in a cogent fashion. In "Display Properties/Appearance/Effects/Advanced/other advanced controls" and the item "Icons", the size displayed on my system is "39". Is this Window XP's default setting? The reason I am asking is most all of the Desktop icons, regardless of which icon set I use, appear a bit ragged around the edges, even with "Clear Type" enabled. If I increase the size from 39 to 48, for example, the

Reply to A couple more Theme Manager questions in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Sorry... I misspelled the name of the skin. It is "Synthek" which you can find here: http://danillooc.wincustomize.com/viewskin.aspx?SID=2950&skinid=4742&libid=1&UID=1283096. Thanks for the suggestion to move my Wallpapers images to C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper. But I would rather have them more accessible, such as C:\Wallpaper, which is where I have them now. It is much easier for me to find, test and change wallpapers in that location and likewise using the "Browse" in Display Properties.

Reply to Theme Manager question in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Cavan1, Yes, what you wrote is true. And I owe an apology to aufisch in that I was using the terms which are common when using StyleXP. What WindowBlinds calls "skins", StyleXP calls "Visual Styles". What WindowBlinds calls, "Suites", StyleXP calls, "Themes". But in the Theme Manager menu/tree on the left, WindowBlinds calls "skins" "Visual Styles", which makes for some confusion. And even more confusing is that Theme Manager calls "msstyles" (Visual Styles) files "MS Themes".<

A couple more Theme Manager questions in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

1) I am having a problem with one particular skin being applied in a suite I made. The name of the skin is "Synthec". When I switch to this suite, the wallpaper and icons are changed, but not the actual skin. The skin in current use remains. This is the only suite I've made that does this. Any help as to how to correct this problem? 2) Wallpaper choices are limited to those files in "C:\Windows\Wallpaper" in Theme Manager. Is there a way to br

Reply to Theme Manager question in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Thanks, but playing around in Theme Manager I found out with SkinStudio installed, these Visual Styles, which as I said are NOT WindowBlins skins but the visual styles I installed when using StyleXP, when applied can then be used with "File/Save Desktop" to make a new theme. They may not be technically converted to .wba files, but they then can be applied using Theme Manager or from the WindowBlinds GUI.

Theme Manager question in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Sorry for posting this here, but I didn't know where else to ask the question. As a new "convert" to WB I must say that the documentation/help for some of Stardock's products are more than lacking. Even where the Help does have some information, "Self-explanatory" doesn't cut it in some instances. I'm sure glad that this Board exists. Now my newbie question: In Theme Manager, on the

Is that in any program and any menu or just spesific to one program? It would appear that this applies to just this one program's context menu.

Ghost items on menues in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I'm experiencing what I would call an annoyance with most of the skins I'm using, e.g., "Synthec", "Thunderstorm, "Cyrix", et al. Some context menues display "ghost" links. Is anyone else seeing these? My version of WB is 4.51 build 201. System is Win XP SP-2. Here's a screenshot: Thanks for any advice and/or help.

Reply to IconPackager doesn't change 2 icons? in IconPackager WinCustomize Forums

Thanks for the suggestion.... tried it and nada! I tried using the "Restore Default" for both the current icon and Windows default and neither changed. Hopefully, you or someone else might have something more to suggest.

IconPackager doesn't change 2 icons? in IconPackager WinCustomize Forums

I am wondering if someone can help me figure out why 2 specific icons are never changed when applying an icon pack with IconPackager (2.5 enhanced)? The two stubborn icons are "Network Neighborhood" and "Internet Explorer". Everytime I change an icon set, these two keep whatever icon the previous set used. I have to go into their respective Properties and manually change them. I've tried deleting the iconcache, refreshing, repairing icons, etc

Thanks, you two for your comments. Master Apprentice Night Train: Yes I was running the Freeware version and experienced the problem I think is going through your mind. I ended up uninstalling everything and reinstalling the Enhanced version and the extra options then worked. I finally got this feature to work. The problem was with trying to change the color using his "White" shellstyle. When I used any of the non-white shellst

Help with "Change skin colour" feature in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I just switched over to WindowBlinds (4.5 enhanced version) and trying to work my way through some of the various options it has. Right now I'm having trouble implementing the "Change skin colour" feature. The skin I'm working with, "Marina", specifically says you can use this feature with it. Simply put, after checking the box, "Enable custom colour support", choosing a color and refining it with the 3 sliders, I then click on "Apply changes" in the d
