To fix the startmenu you just need to change the userpane value from 0,0,253,something to 0,0,244,something :D. But as for the gripper who knows!

:woot: thank you, now it is really perfect :)

i fix both BLUE and ORANGE :cool:

now i've my perfect desktop :devil:

thanks

Alex

hopefully snidley will port this to WB as well

damn... I dont hope that will be ported to WindowBlind... Many ppl cant PAY that software (yes there are ppl that lives legally outhere ;) ) and consumes more memory than any msstyle (if you got some proof that WB uses less memory please post showing how many memory it uses). And everytime that a really cool skin is out for msstyle have to be ported to WB. But never in the reverse way. That is another reason that why I think that WB sux really bad (bloarware).

well if u don't like it, u don't have to use it ;) . i used to feel the same as u, but then i gave WB another try for bants celia and quite liked it. if u look in the task manager it uses about the same ammount of memory as themes service. just turn the themes service off when u are using it and it is just as fast, in some cases faster. i still use msstyles, but i prefer windowblinds ports cuz it skins EVERYTHING. i agree with u that there aren't many original windowblinds themes that are good though. 99.9% of them are absolutley aweful. snidley does great ports though and ports all the best msstyles to WB, and some msstyles authors are starting to make WB themes now. u have to admit the technology is better than msstyles

why do people use windowblinds? maybe because it's better? yeah, that's the reason...it is better. that's my opinion and i'm sticking with it just like you have your opinion that msstyles is better. you keep using your hacked system files and i'll use wb. besides, wb skins much more than the hack does. everybody has their opinion. jsut because you don't agree with me doesn't make you right and me wrong or vica versa. if this skin does get ported, and it will :), it will do justice to tiger's work.

ok can we stop this msstyles vs. WB deal, i think theres enough of those threads around the forums as it is we don' t need any more. and also the decision of weather the theme gets ported over to WB is between me and arhra because after all this is based on his wonderful skin.

now back to discussing the skin, i have fixed the bugs posted, and i will include the start menu for 32, and thats the only version that im going to release ofcourse i'll have mine at 48 still :yes: but the released version will ONLY have space for 32 on the startmenu anyone one that wants anything different will have to do it on their own. :p

i will upload the updated version later on tonight

and here's a preview of a logon that im planning on making

post-36-1066087079.jpg

OK updated version is now uploaded

***changes

the default pane size in the start menu is for 32x32 icon sizes

fix the toolbarbutton bug

the resize gripper bug

and some minor things aswell

please note if you have edited ur explorer.exe to change what gets displayed on the "Turn Off Computer" button on the start menu then u MIGHT encounter some bugs.

and for those who haven't hacked their explorer.exe to change the Turn Off Computer text you will noticed that now it just says "Turn Off" thats because i had to trip it a bit due to the change in size of the start menu, but don't worry no actual edition was done to your explorer.exe is all done in stylebuilder

enjoy the update

    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
