Very good work. Impressive.
Does the task bar work vertical as well as Horizontal?
Comment #7 Wednesday, January 10, 2018 12:19 PM
Thanks. As for the taskbar, the vertical taskbar is just a plain gradient image, not like the horizontal taskbar, reason being (in my experience), is painting margins with a vertical taskbar don't work the same as the horizonatl taskbar, so you get a different result (usually not good). Now, if some of the experince skinners out there know of a way to do this, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks Tom, it was challenging, but fun.

Back when I insisted on using vertical taskbars I often had to custom-do them. What I would do depended on the horizontal taskbar image. Sometimes I'd rotate it 90 degrees, or rotate it 90 degrees and duplicate/flip the image and combine it to make a single image, just kind of depended. You do have to re-do the margins of course, on this skin I'd probably set it to end up stretching a single pixel horizontally - would kind of make it flatish. Often had to do seperate buttons an quick launch buttons with new margins to make them look good. Tricky part sometimes was getting the start button to look good on both the horizontal and vertical tb's, it's shared. Ya, a good vertical taskbar is kind of its own project. Hope that helps, like your stuff.

if i change the fonts in windowblinds will this skin change all the fonts in all categories of windows or do some stay default font as to what you used when you made it?

Should be able to change the fonts from Windowblinds, everything that is skinned and has a font, I've changed from "default" to regular fonts, so, whatever Windowblinds allows you to change, you should be able to change.

Hi Don, now I've be using your skin a bit would like to know if you could add a light Explorer Backgrounds sub style
Comment #19 Wednesday, January 10, 2018 11:55 PM
I have a light Explorer background for Win7, 8.1, and 10, Then I have dark Explorer background for Win7, 8.1, and 10, that's a total of 6 sub styles, light and dark for each OS. The sub styles (Titles) that doesn't have "Dark" are "Light" Explorer backgrounds, the sub styles with "Dark" in the sub style Title, are "Dark" Explorer backgrounds. I have examples in my preivew image, unless the light is not light enough for you. PM me please.
