ObjectBar 2 gallery added! RightClick gallery added!
Skins, themes, and more!
Saturday, September 23, 2006 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
We have added an ObjectBar 2 gallery. While many ObjectBar 1 themes will work with ObjectBar 2, the number of underlying changes in ObjectBar 2 make compatibility somewhat iffy.
So we've created an ObjectBar 2 gallery where you can upload ObjectBar 2 skins and well as themes. What's the difference?
A theme is the actual collection of bars on the screen. A Start bar, a Sidebar, whatever would be an example of a theme. The bars in those themes can be skinned.
Similarly, we have added a RightClick section. RightClick skins are compatible with ObjectBar skins (or more precisely, RightClick can be seen as a sub-set of ObjectBar in terms of functionality).
Making ObjectBar skins is quite easy to do. Documentation is here. Have fun!

| It's a shame that these new galleries are not available to the paying customers who use the wincustomize browser. I've refreshed libraries and don't see them. |
Relax.
I'm sure Stardock will have a SDC/WCB soon. It's nice that everything is integrated but a day or two of non-integration won't kill you. Look on the bright side, new libraries!

They've been available since the day this thread started. Try logging in with Internet Explorer or Opera instead of the WC Browser. Just so you know....the OB2 library is currently empty and the RC library has only one new skin since August 8.

But they are not available through the "Skins and Themes" section/function. I chatted with Brian Harper (the dev) who was going to contact t-man to see what was up when he couldn't do it either.
YMMV but I trust his.
