Hey,
It's great that someone finally made an XP skin for a higher resolution. But I got a couple of questions/bugs. How do you change the name in the start menu? Also, when you have 6 windows open, in the taskbar, the program bars don't shrink horizontally so the last one is 75% hidden by the sys tray and anymore don't get shown. Is there anyway to change this or maybe you can fix it?

Thanks,

The name can be changed by right-clicking on the name, going to Appearance, changing the name, and pressing Apply.

The taskbar/systray problem seems to be unfixable. I have seen several "solutions," including only allowing a certain number of systray icons, shortening the taskbar a lot, etc. The problem is that while the systray extends left, the taskbar width is static. So after a certain number of systray icons (I think 8), the taskbar begins to get obscured. So unless some other extremely experienced author knows how to fix it, or Stardock provides us with a combination taskbar/systray object, the best fix is probably to hide systray icons altogether by double clicking the clock.

Thank you for your reply! I am glad a lot of people are downloading this.

I have a little problem. The taskbar isn't resizable. On my win98 the taskbar is able to resize to make it higher. Unfortunately your skin doesn't. Although I'm still using it right now

. Your skin is my current favourite, PLEASE make a final version.

Include some new features, maybe icons too. Add a few more resolutions, ect.

Thanx alot!
