freeza Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 it probably has to do with the common dialog control thats used to bring up those boxes :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obiwong Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 i used to have windows blinds 3 enhanced the problem with that was that there would be a black rectangle border around some of the buttons so i thought that styles would fix it but when i put styles on my computer, some buttons wouldn't be skinned at all.... strange i hope that someone finds a solution soon...

obiwong Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 alrite now i really don't get what's going on on the left hand side, there's the open file windows for Windows Media Player. Note the skinned buttons, menu (on the left) and the combo bars at the top and bottom on the right hand side, Winamp's open file window Note that nothing except for the title bar is skinned ...basically the same window but only one is skinned ...i guess it's time to switch back to WB 3 enhanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogboy Administrators Posted January 22, 2002 Administrators Share Posted January 22, 2002 Little off topic but what did you use for those icons on your desktop and the finder bar at the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iUk Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 The issue isn't with MSStyles, it's that WinAmp and other 3rd party vendors implemented their own code to create an interface that was similar to the interface back in Win9x/2000. It's something they did to their code. Look at MSN Explorer. In Win9x/2000/XP, no matter which OS, the interface is the same, with the blue/purple theme and titlebars and buttons, etc. That's because the company hard-coded the interface. The Command Prompt in XP isn't skinned, because MS hard-coded the interface. WinAmp probably hard-coded the interface instead of using a Windows DLL to dynamically create the interface. That's why the buttons aren't skinned, because WinAmp hard-coded them and they don't recognize that there is an applied MSStyle. iUk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disciple Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 styles xp doesn't skin anything b/c all styles xp is, is a patch for the uxtheme.dll. it just uses the windows xp visual styles engine for which not all programs, windows, etc. are "theme aware." sometimes using a manifest file will fix this sometimes it doesn't. See http://delphi.about.com/library/bluc/text/...+for+windows+xp for more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obiwong Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 WB skins what styles doesn't and styles skins what WB doesn't there must be a way to have both at the same time so everything can be skinned rite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
