Taskbar doesn't work vertically. No titlebar button change on click (don't know if that's standard with OSX or not)? The right-side text shift is not large enough - text goes behind the maximise button. Scrollbars would be better tiled than stretched, and would look better if a minimum thumb size were used.

The start button here only shows up to the bottom of the apple logo. No menu separator (again, this may be correct for the skin, just seems a bit strange). Button text font is a little big - text overflows. No help button?

As to the size issue, it's not too bad (the 1.2Mb size shown doesn't seem to be correct, unless I'm mistaken). You could probably save a bit by converting bitmaps to 256 colours each (indexed bitmaps) - few of them are using more than that (hint - use an octree/weighted conversion rather than a "fairly distributed" conversion to ensure you get lots of blue and white).

Ok.....taskbar doesn't work vertically because I didn't want it to. Titlebar buttons don't change from what i have seen, but I could be wrong. Right side text is fixed. Scrollbars fixed.

Might have to do a computer restart to fix the startbutton deal. Not sure why yet. Menu separator? Button text made smaller...still overflows on two-worded buttons. Nope...no help button

Let me know what you mean by "fairly distributed" and "octee/weighted" stuff

Anyway I am not a computer expert I have no idea how you do this stuff but after seeing about 30 of these skins this is the best one! I will install on my Mom's computer (I am 26)soon. Keep up the good work!!!

Yes, titlebar buttons don't change, which I didn't expect (no feedback). Menu separator == the line between some menu items (often between Quit and the rest). Fairly distributed == at even points on the spectrum == not what you want, an octree will concentrate around what colours are actually present.

thanks...but not all of it is original. I'd say after i finished editing stuff it was half and half. But I got a lot of the ideas from other skins. Its in the skin credits

I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't get the buttons to switch to the left side. I don't know if there is just a setting I am missing or what. Thats the only problem I had with the skin.

when you select the skin under the Appearances tab, you have to go to the sub-design box there to switch between the subskins.

And the Lucida Grande font is included in the dl. Go to the windowblinds/AquaXP directory. its in there

Comment #20 Monday, February 4, 2002 2:08 PM
Don't really understand what you mean. You need to install the font to the Font section of the control panel. In win2000, i think WB puts a new tab to find the skins. Not sure what it would be called
