Glad you all like it. We are actually working on a Bootskin theme, just ran into pallet issues. It will never display right, no matter how we export it. If any of you guys know how to make a proper boot skin let me know.. and i will send the image

As for the black text on buttons, I'll see if that can be fixed

WOW! I really like this theme. What I would really like is that black task bar mixed with the silver windows, though (using visual styles, though, so I can change the color of fonts which Windowblinds does not allow anymore)!

Or, if you can, make the black text on black backgrounds problem fixed. On the other hand, these are just minor details that bother me; this is truly an amazing theme! You really put some hard work into this (some of the best I've ever seen), and you deserve much recognition for that!

Thank you!

Great work... however how do I make the toolbars and stuff in Windows look like longhorn also? Just applying the WindowsBlind or MSStyle doesn't seem to change the toolbars (ex. Back/Forward, Search, Folders, System Tasks). Any help with this will be greatly appreciated

A Winamp skin would be superb and would make this suite complete!

for the windowblinds skin the left pane is showing as blue while in the winxp theme its up top and black like how it should be I"m guessing. Why isnt the window blind pane coming right?

Yeah that is windowblinds it self. I get that issue sometimes. Just unmaximize the window and drag it around to refresh it and maximize it again

Left pane? I'm assuming you are talkign about the shellstyle right?
LHA has a top shellstyle there is no left pane. I've never had that problem it could be windowblinds. Try upgrading it in stardock central they cameout with a new release and its fixed some minor bugs.

by the way guys, a BootSkin skin is on the way!

The fonts in the start menu look weird now

They look kinda antialiased, and they 'fix' after I pass the cursor over the menu items. Strange.

You're using WB 4.3, it doesn't have support for top shellstyles. You have to upgrade to 4.4

i love this all. only one problem and thats with the firefox theme. Anyway tohave it work properly with the icons not having to be in the nav toolbar? I hate the big bar under the icons as the theme is set up now because I'm using compact menu and like it compact.

TIA

Dec 16 2004, 17:35

Also on my start menu the right side of menu is cut in half
so control panel my computer all that is just a half icon

any ideas

YBG

Dec 16 2004, 22:39

Which variant of the theme are you applying? Pay attention to the 48x 64x that they have in there, I believe thats to support those icon sizes.

Although I could be wrong.
