/me must be colour blind ;) Oh well you can always change it yourself in style builder. Just select the element and desaturate it. :)

Just take a look at these screenshots @ winsupersite

That window status, when you can't focus the previous window without closing the focused first is missing from the visual style...

Instead it just stays like the "inactive" status...

Hope this hasn't been posted before

Cheers,

I've never done any style building, but i've done plenty of graphics with photoshop/illustrator etc... Is there a good tutorial for style builder or should i just mess around?

I found a small bug in watercolor v4, when i open a small image file

(64x64 pixel) in photoshop. And if I move the mouse pointer to the

right border or bottom-right conner, mouse pointer didn't change and

I can't change the size of that child window. But if I change the window

size (from the other conner), the right and bottom-right become normal.

Sorry for my poor english language.. :x

Now that you mention it, I have the same thing. Always thought it was a bug with photoshop, but after switching to Luna, Classic and a few other themes...I realize it only happens with Watercolor. Hopefully Binary will solve it for us. :)

Ok, First the pinky disabled window cannot be done, the new msstyle format only allows two states, inactive and active. Second the Resize bug on small windows has plagued every watercolour type style and I have no clue why, so I havent found a fix, and dont know if it's even possible to fix.

xWeston: I dont know of any tutitorials, but it's fairly easy to figure out :)

What are the ghost pixels that you are talking about?

That bug in photoshop is weird but not all that annoying :)

BTW, Binary even though i criticize your peach color in the taskbar i really love the theme, dont think im saying its no good! :)

Yep... "photoshop" bug is little... but annoyin neither the less....

not just photoshop.... it seems any smallish size window is affected.... open Windows Explorer ....

great theme... but yeh... the default luna windows icon isn't that nice... would b nice if we could change it ...

thanks alot binary for a killa theme... =]

cant wait for 5.0 =) hehe

The "ghost" pixels are the transparent pixels above the titlebar, goes about 2 pixels up (you can only notice it on windows that are supposed to be maximized after opening a second time). If I got rid of that transparency, then the mozaic would be totally screwed, and also you'd have 2 extra pixels above the controls, which doesnt look very even imo, so I'm leaving it as is. I wish MS would have updated the code to fix all these bugs, since they know people are skinning XP with their permission or not *sigh*.

If I were a programmer I would have decompiled and fixed all these bugs long ago (yes I know that would be illegal but too bad huh? ;)). But I'm not so once again *sigh*.

Chris

binary dude.... can u plz help me find the only "bug" in wc4....

the photoshop/small window bug...

2 other ppl above found the problem....

i cant seem to fix it no matter what.... i've changed the Window Frames to match other skins, edited the graphics etc... but still to no ava...

bug: if the window is smallish... u cant resize the window thru the right or bottom or bottom/right.... only can resize thru the left or the top...

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... i know this is a really small bug... but its annoyin like heck.... esp working with photoshop everyday... using small images....

thx in advance

I already answered that above, I too have no idea what causes this, I have tried everything aswell, but nothing has fixed it. You can just drag the other corner, not that big of a deal :) If anyone wants to help iron out the few couple remaining bugs, then I'll add you to my readme :p But seriously I can't fix it, I have tried everything I know, I've compared values to luna, and used lunas, and other themes frame files, nothing has worked.

Chris

omg... hehehe

hey i figured out EXACTLY wat was causing it.... gawd... its like 7am here in aus... haven't slept yet but so damn happy i solved it....

What i did was Transparent = false in captions...

and yeh doin that gives a 2 pixel pink image.... but after doin that it solved the resizing error...

so to fix the pink pixel problem without ruinnin the "mosiac" effect ... i openned photoshop and converted the FrameCaption.bmp file to 32bit col and resized it upabit then cropped it... then changed it back to 256colors

there's a slight slight difference, and only if i look really hard.... between windowed and fullscreen windows but definately worth it....

all thats left for me now is to change the 'start' button :)

anyone noe how to take off that ugly winxp flag??? no matter wat i do it stays there... and i cant find it in stylebuilder...

once again.... cheers to binary.... :p

oh yeh... there's also a visible difference between a max app and one thats windowed (captionbar wise)

but yeh... wat was really buggin me was movin the mouse to the left of the window... resizing it abit then runnin outta room then having to go back to the right side to resize again ehehe

oh one last thing....

if u were gonna have 2 pink pixels in the captionbar... why not just make it 18 pixel high like classic mode instead of 20 pixels ala luna...*cough*

prob due to using ms gfx is my guess yeh?

;) :p :dead:

I have done everything in order to keep the mozaic looking perfect, and the titlebar true to the original watercolour style. If you make it 18 in height, there will still be 2 pixels above the - [] X

controls, which is what I didnt want, because it looks stupid imo.

I've worked with the theme for a year, I know what can and can't be done ;) And I already knew that the transparency was causing it, but I didnt know how to fix it, I still dont know whats causing it to happen to my theme and not others, some other themes use transparency in the titlebar and the problem doesnt happen.

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
