This is a very good design. You have thought of allot of variables and I have to congradulate you on a work well done. This skin makes me put even more work into my own multi-button creation I am working on myself. I was not even thinking about some of the very things you have in this skin to be aware of in the design.

Very good work, and I think this is a skin allot of people should download.

(now all you have to do is make different variations of colors and styles and design with color change ability and you will be the king of windowblinds... or at least in the skinners hall of fame... that totally politically/popularity motivated group! humph! But I think most would agree you deserve it if you keep making stuff like this)

Beautiful skin. The best in my collection.

One off-topic question regarding WBAmp if I may. I've never used a skin with this feature before. I tried doing as much reading as I can and downloaded the WBAmp file. When I unzipped it, I found a WBAmp.dll file and two text files. The instructional text files didn't tell me what to do with the .dll file. Do I copy it to the WinAmp folder? or to the Windowblinds folder?

I see people are having problem with the title scrolling, but I can't get the buttons to work at all.

Also, does WinAmp 2 vs 3 make a difference?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

dhaval_14581 >> If you're referring to the media player button on the pop-out menu, then the target for that button is set in your wbuser.ini file, as explained in the documentation. If it's not pointing to the right place, then it's possible it could be opening something other than media player. I suggest you read the documentation and modify the '&Media' program path to point to Media Player on your machine.

radsmith >> The WBAmp plugin is already included as part of the skin installation, so you don't need to go looking elsewhere for it. Just read the documentation for the skin and set things up as shown in this section: http://grayhaze.com/docs/dinksDX.htm#wbampinstall

This is one awesome skin, buddy! I have one serious issue though. I'm having a huge problem with the skin when using Netscape. When I press the maximize button on Netscape to shrink the window down, Netscape freezes and it needs to be shut down with the Task Manager. This is a very annoying problem and I was hoping that you could fix this or let me know of how I could fix it. I want to make this my permanent skin!

Jennifer >> Does this happen with all WindowBlinds skins or just dinksDX? I don't have Netscape installed at the moment, but I'm pretty sure I've never had any problems using it with WindowBlinds in the past.

I'm sorry, but it seems to happen with most of your skins. I don't have any problems with any other skin. Strange. Everything else works fins, but when I use the maximize button to shrink the window, Netscape freezes. Netscape is the only program that does that, so far.

I love this skin but I am unable to use it with WB 4.00d. After a while my system slows to a crawl, my cursor goes invisible, and my screen gets filled with garbage artifacts. My Win-XP system acts like when I used to run Win98 & the recouces dropped below 5%. See my posts in stardock.windowblinds.development

I really want to help solve this problem as I really love this skin.

Jennifer >> When you say 'most of my skins', have you tried using the other sub-designs of dinksDX to see if the problem still persists? If it's a conflict with one of the plugins, which are the only elements that are any different to the majority of other skins here, then using one of the sub-designs that doesn't use that plugin might solve the problem and help me to isolate the cause.

I should point out that I'm using version 4.00d too, and have none of the problems that Alobar has. I'm working with him to find a solution, but I think it's likely to be specific to his system.

Netscape freezes with all the sub-designs as well. Sorry.

Jennifer >> I have just installed Netscape 7, and everything seems to work fine. What version are you using, and on which version of Windows? You currently seem to be the only one with this problem, which suggests something else could be to blame.

Comment #118 Friday, June 13, 2003 1:17 PM
I am using Netscape 7.02 and Windows XP Pro. It only freezes when I shrink the Netscape window using the maximize button. Could it be a conflict with the Netscape skin and your skin?

Comment #119 Friday, June 13, 2003 1:18 PM
Maybe it is also the fact that I am using an older WindowBlinds. I am using ver. 3.4. If I upgrade to ver. 4, that might fix the problem, eh? D'uh!!!

Jennifer >> Well I'm using the exact same versions as you, apart from WindowBlinds. Update your copy of WindowBlinds to version 4, and your problems should vanish.
