Reply to Feature Friday: New and Updated WindowBlinds Skins! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I have been a fan for many years, but I have seen the decline of skins being released as time has gone by, there are only a select few that release consistently. I do feel that although Stardocks time is taken up by other resources, If loyal members were given more of a chance and incentive to produce high quality skins people would be more so inclined to consistently release more. I feel that peoples efforts go by unnoticed, although I know that this isn't the only reason, peoples lives have

Reply to Just Bought Fences 2.13 - Does NOT Work - Win 7 64-bit in Fences WinCustomize Forums

I recently updated to Fences 2.90 on Win 7 64bit and had issues also, turns out it was affected by the .NET Framework. I uninstalled 4.5, restarted, uninstalled 4 & client profile, restarted, used .NET Cleanup Tool for those versions to make sure remaining entries weren't left over, restarted and fences started working again.

Reply to Explorer glass border glitch in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

its not a tweak really, if one section of the borders has a different setting than another then it throws things off. So setting the backgroundeffect on the code editor tab for all the borders rectifies this issue. It's something people don't quite realise, that skins are compiled using code and SKS removes the need for the user to learn it by allowing the skinner to import each image and set the margins then SKS does the rest. :)

Moshi makes a valid point, take xion for example. Although I find that SKS isn't that difficult to learn to use. I personally find it easier than the xion method but I guess that's because I haven't taken the time to learn it. I can say that given the amount of time required to create a blind doesn't help with productivity although I personally like to pay attention to detail I just find that the limitations really hold back the creativity skinners could provide. Also when ski

Reply to Cell Phones I have owned in Mobile Tech WinCustomize Forums

My very first was a Sony Ericsson j5. I can't really remember what I had in between then and now but currently the proud owner of two phone which are Samsung Galaxy S3 and a HTC One X both white. I had contemplated upgrading to the new HTC One but felt it would be a waste of money having coming into possession of the One X Christmas time 2012.

I have some good news for you T3STY. The issue is resolved by editing the code under the section Window Frames > Per Pixel > Borders (select this) > On the code editor tab, change "BackgroundEffect=0" to "BackgroundEffect=1". Save & apply.

Sorry for the late reply, upon testing I found that the only area to be affected was the "upper glass area" what happens is the transparency is blurred like the aero blur rather than using semi-transparency. My point with the *.PNG format was that ticking pre-multiplied alpha isn't necessary when using this format. Even though SKS converts *.PNG to *.TGA. I'll continue to look at this and hopefully we can find out a fix for this issue.

I see an issue with your blind, you have included shadow to the border images as well as including shadow images under the shadow section. I tested my theory and created a set of new borders (on a new blind) with the 1px semi-transparent border, the result was no blurring when overlaying a variety of colours. On your per pixel frames, remove the shadow but leave the 1px semi-transparent border then create your shadows using this method (courtesy of DanilloOc) :) <img src="http://s2

There is no need to have transparency on the border itself, insert it into the shadow images to achieve the effect you wish. If you're still having issues, send it via PM and I'll take a look to see what the problem is. :)

Reply to Shadows problem in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I'm on windows 7 but updated to windowblinds 8 just to see what was new and to prepare myself for migration to windows 8 eventually at least for skinning purposes. I'll keep at it and see what's what. It's probably something stupid that's completely slipped my mind. edit: Okay, it appears that SKS has trouble viewing side shadows that have a higher height dimension than 320px. I resized the frames to 150px each and it works perfectly. Thanks for the suggest

Reply to Shadows problem in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

In the SKS preview it's setup correctly and displays. But when applying the blind the inactive states mess up, specifically the top/bottom or left/right. I think it's the former rather than the latter but I am still unsure as to why this is happening since it doesn't do this on the active states. top : Active state btm: Inactive state

Reply to Shadows problem in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

yeah deleted the section and re-imported, changed margins etc.. should work fine but doesn't. I'll give the shadow size thing a try although it says that the max is 30px mine is a shadow size of 18px. edit: Tried making the shadow smaller but the problem still appears. This is baffling [e digicons]:S[/e] . It's just the inactive state that this happens. I'm not sure what changes they made with windowblinds 8 but it appears to have done somethin
