The area around "all programs" is positioned badly on my system - it doesn't line up with the rest of the start menu...

Also - could you post some recolors? I tried recoloring using WB5, but results were not satisfactory, since there are so many colors in this skin...

The "ALL PROGRAMS" does have an alignment problem. Love the skin if this could be fixed.... Thank you!

One additional comment, the "ALL PROGRAMS" I have found will present an alignment problem if you change the font size. Otherwise it maintains it's intregity.

As far as reposting different colors, probably not happening, basically means re-designing most of the theme again.

IF you are using regular font sizes and still getting the all progranms error, please install the TNblank font from the VXP folder in the windowblinds directory in your system fonts folder and it will be fixed. Using this design method means its only compatible with regular sized fonts.

thanks for all the great comments, working on new stuff now.

I love the skin just as it is. Matte and pastel like is very easy on the eyes and calming. How many per pixel skins do people want? I like this just as much as I like Vectra which is per pixel heaven. It's nice to have alternatives. I am using VXP with the Dre-S Icon Package by PiscDong and it looks superb. (See GUI Champs to download). Thanks for the very stylish skin vStyler, which along with Vectra and Repetoire occupy permanent psoitions on my hard drive

Still having the "All Programs" problem. I have deleted my copy of VXP, downloaded a fresh copy, installed TNblank font (and went to Fonts folder under Windows to verify that it was there), rebooted my machine (WinXP SP2), then re-installed VXP. I still have the "All Programs" misaligned problem.
What else can I try?
Thanks.

I have this issue (see image). I've had it with a few other skins but so far no one has been able to pinpoint why it happens...

As far as the all programs issue it can only BE 2 possible things, your on a non english system or your not using normal sized fonts.

The line on the all progs menu , i have no idea, only a few people experience that, I'd suggest as i have before on other themes that you contact stardock WB support and maybe they will get around to diagnosing it. I do not see it here and as such cant attempt to fix it. Im sorry.

"All Programs" problem is now fixed.
Control Panel -> Display -> Appearance -> Advanced
Under "All skin defined fonts to be replaced by:", use the drop-down menu to select "Leave skin font alone" (I used to have "Tahoma" for this choice).

Thanks.

P.S. I think you are going to find you will have a lot of fans over here if with your WB skins. You have a lot of class, thanks again.

I love it! The skin is eye pleasing. The most important part is it's practical. Unlike many other skins that are only focus on being "cool", this one is something I can use for a very long time. Thank you for the good work.

I like this skin - hell, a lot of people like this skin

But for some reason with this skin my Drive Icon names, some folder names, even some file names are truncated, so I have a partial name followed by "..."; I've encountered this a couple of times in the past with a skin and despite my best efforts to resolve it, invariably end up using a different skin.

Any suggestions?

You know, i had one person tell me that before..i wonder..because i dont see it here..on mine.. Do u get the same when you load up my Vectra skin? As it uses the same fonts, if u can load it up and compare, see if it does it too..im sure its on certain machines and im almost certain its the font, but not sure, why..

can u post a screeny, ill try get to the bottom of it

I have fonts set to standard size, but I have screen DPI set to non-default (since I have a 21" monitor) on advanced settings, that may be the cause of the font issue... It is a minor issue nonetheless, I love this skin!

Comment #38 Thursday, November 9, 2006 9:35 AM
Yes, I agree with everyone's positive comments. This is a great skin and appreciated.

With the "ALL PROGRAMS" font issue. Rather than changing the font, change the designed font size and the "ALL PROGRAMS" is not effected. I went up 20% through the windowblinds "USER OVERIDES" and it worked for me. I like a slightly larger font than the size designed in. Beautiful program..............
