[Schmoove]

The link isn't but the download is.

I can get to the DA page, but I can't download it either.

[acedriver]

Hmm, the link isn't working for me, I've tried reuploading several times, as well as uploading the skin as a zip file, but its still says it can't find it. It recognises that the file size changes though, so I think the problem is DA. I will leave it for a bit, and check again.

The DA link seems to be working now (for me at least)

Nice looking

I really like this skin but it has one problem for me; when I am using windoforms in visual C++, the captions on my tab controls dissapear. I have the same problem with pixel8 by essorant. If it wasn't for this I would be using it right now.

Whats happens if you check 'Only skin controls in themeaware apps' in the User Overides section of WBconfig? If not can you post a pic so I can see what it is.

[rgidney]

Here is a screen with only skin theme aware apps. This seems to make the tabs visible but the next is truncated on the right now. I also notice that this has the side effect of opening word when I have outlook open also. I have heard of other themes where that happens also.

Not sure if thats fixable :(

[rgidney]

The skins that work all around for me are gfxoasis, Topax, FM, RodiumX, Souluna. THere are more skins which display properly but they are unstable in the IDE such as dogmaX, and there are some that work well there but have an issue with large dropdown lists such as Opulence and Caffine.

THere are more skins which display properly but they are unstable in the IDE such as dogmaX,

could you explain that please? i don't really notice anything wrong with it.

With DogmaX, and Several others I notice that switching between tabs will cause the from to loose focus after sevral clicks and dissapear behind the main IDE window. I also notice that once you close the debug section and you choose File form the menu, your first click on it has no response. The Visual Studio IDE seems a more sensitive test enviroment because many skins work flawlessley everywhere else (that I have tried with the programs I own and use) but have odd behavior in the IDE. Some work well but corrupt the tab controls graphics like drawing the underline through the middle of the caption instead of under it. It seems tha twith Extensis and Pixel8 the problem is that the current (selected tab) becomes the highlight color without any text, the rest of the tabs are subdued (little contrast between text and background.

Anyone else having problems with an all pink statusbar on this one ?

[Wannes]

what wb version are you using? if this theme is made for 4.3 and you are using 4.2 than you may indeed have this problem.
