Create & Apply Folder Icons from Virtually any Image (Part 1) in Icons WinCustomize Forums

Explaining this in one article would be WAY TOO LONG........so I've decided to split this into multiple articles. Part 1: Downloading Images from the Web There are many downloadable icons on the web, IconPackager themes, and the like. But what if you wanted to customize your PC with images from the web? Whoever said that a folder icon had to have a picture of a folder anyway? What if you wanted to apply images to a folder that are from specific vendors, down to t

New Idea: Image Suites for Explorer in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Are you tired of the plain white background in Windows Explorer? Are file dialogs and pop-ups boring to look at? Well, thats about to change. After I submitted my first article, "Skinning your Windows Explorer Background", something hit me; What if users could apply a suite of images to explorer to match your favorite Windowblinds Skin? (Or at least get rid of that ugly White Background) Soon enough, I will create image packages specially designed for customizing Windows Explorer called "E

MessageBox Customization Missing in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I've been using SkinStudio 6 for a few months now, but what i've recently noticed is that you can't skin windows message boxes. I want to customize message boxes by applying my own icons and background. Why doesn't Skinstudio 6 support this? When it does, when will it be available? In the meanwhile, are there any MessageBox editors which can customize the message icon as well as the background?

Reply to Paint.NET 3.08 in Windows Software WinCustomize Forums

I've been using Paint.NET for some of my own images & icons. Most of the files i've uploaded were ones which have been edited using Paint.NET. It is an awesome program and best of all, its FREE!!! Not only that, but you have the power to install plug-ins to enhance the program's functionallity. I've downloaded & installed at least 10 plug-ins already, such as an icon file association (which opens & saves .ico files), reflection, and a 3D Shape tool. If you're interested in find

Reply to Skinning your Windows Explorer background in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Are you sure you were using Skinstudio 6 and not version 5? Version 5 was confusing and I never understood it neither. Version 6 is way easier to understand than the previous one. In version 6, after you either open a skin or create a new one, this menu should show up. Click on the "Backgrounds" button on the left pane and a few options should show up, one of them being an Explorer Background image. Click on the Explorer Background and then browse for an image (make sure that it is either a

Reply to SkinStudio 6 Beta arrives in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I've noticed that this version of Skinstudio only lasts until January 1, 2008. Now it's beyond that time and I wonder when the completed version will be released. (The skin i'm working on is incomplete because of the time-limit).

Skinning your Windows Explorer background in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

With a typical installation of Windows (regardless of what version is installed), the Windows Explorer background is white. HOW BORING!!! With a little experimentation with Skinstudio 6, I found out that you could use any Bitmap or PNG file to fill your Windows Explorer background. Don't believe me? Click on the link at the bottom of the article, then you will believe me. I also skinned the left & top navigation bars and filled it with seperate images. To effectively fill the entire ex
