Sorry to hijack the thread
As requested, here's a couple of screenshoots:
Interestingly enough, I do get the same problem with your oher skin, but it's not so severe - the Drive Icons don't have aren't truncated, for instance.
I've checked my WB Settings, the font size is default and I've left the skin font alone. My screen resolution is 1280*1024 on both my primary and secondary monitor.
I'd love to know why one skin generates the affect and another doesn't

| 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 |

This is a great 'blind. Very subtle pastels, and really well used. It also seems to go well with the Gant2 iconset.

All i can think of as far as the truncated fonts is that calibri has some kind of issue, all i know is its not doing it on either of my comps so its kinda hard to diagnose, If you have skinstudio you can try swapping fonts to Tahoma, but you will also have to change the font size as calibri requires larger font sizes to look the same as the same sized Tahoma, I know, its weird, but its Microsofts new state of the art font, and it looks great, just has a few bugs their not aware of i think.
Wish I could be of more help

I love this skin! This is the first time I've commented on a skin and it's because I love it!!!
The only down thing is having problems with the font sometimes. I had to make some custom settings in visual studio b/c it complained about the font not being a truetype font.

A score of 4.5 is probably unprecedented for a StyleXP port. It's worth noticing that the score is higher than that obtained by Vectra, I think because VXP was guided by a more well-defined concept.
A strange thing about porting, though, or am I imagining it? VXP looks better to me on StyleXP - the colors somehow look better defined. Maybe that's it, considering the one remaining anomaly: in some dialogs the OK box or one of the other choices drifts back and forth between orange and blue. This only on the Windowblinds incarnation. I'm curious about what might cause such an effect, if anyone knows.

What I said above about the colors being different was wrong; I had the setting for "make colors stronger."
But the oscillating color is definitely there. For instance, if you download the latest version of Opera beta using Opera, the Cancel button during the download oscillates between orange and blue at the rate of approximately once every two seconds. What is that? This is the only Windowblind I am seen similarly affected.

Should it be possible to get animations, toolbar icons and end session panels ?

The "All Programs Button" is messed up. It appears twice one behind the other. It should be fixed.

@ srdiamond, all WB's do that, perhaps its more noticable in VXP because of the color diff. Its coded into WB.
@ neophil78, yes as time permits
@ SeaSoldier , read previous posts.

I find this a wery usefull and nice skin
The only thing I would have liked a little better, was the possibility of a transparent programline!

The one thing i like above all is that vStyler didn't use any transparency and that's a good thing for a skin which does not need it at all

Great skin. Using it on 1280x768 and it looks fine! The simplicity of it is beautiful.

Nice skin. I'm still looking for the perfect skin, but this one might stay a little longer than most.
My only complaint so far is Firefox's tab bar. I like the fact that I can clearly see the active and inactive tabs apart, what I don't like though is that the active tab has white border all around it, it looks like a button and the inactive ones like real tabs.
I'm no genious when it comes to editing wb skins, but I can do some graphics editing so a pointer what file to edit and how would probably make this skin even better for my use. (I already tried vxp2TabItemLeftEdge and vxp2TabItemRightEdge.tga
edit: got it, it was vxp2TabItem.tga

This same thing happens to me as well. Some of NightTrain's skins also do this to me. If we can track down the similarities of this awesome skin and NightTrain's we might be able to weed this problem out. I love this skin, but I just cant use it with the fonts all squished.

| 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... |
