2 questions about SkinStudio: Editor's Notes and LogOff Dialog
Saturday, February 3, 2007 by Ingui | Discussion: Skinning
Hi,
Looking for some help with a couple of things I can't seem to make happen in SkinStudio.
For one thing, the Editor's Notes that pop up when you open a skin for editing.
I guess the default is similar to mine
"This skin is copyrighted to Ingui. Please contact author before modifying this skin for any purpose"
I just want it to say something simple, like "Copyright 2007 Ingui".
I have try opening Tools / Preferences, editing and applying from there, I have tried editing directly on the Code view page in SS and even with Notepad directly but everytime the message reverts. I don't get it.
The other riddle I would love to solve... Shutdown / Logoff Dialogs and Transparency.
I opened Navigatsio's Twist and created a Skin, Senecor, copying everything ( I think ) that Navigatsio did, Settings,image types, etc. His works, mine won't. Anyone have any advice on that?
I Appreciate any input, thanks.
Jason

Cavan, Thanks. I'll try the reinstall. As for the code, I thought I had done that, but will try again.
Thanks again
Thanks again

Hey Ingui, based on you thinking you had added the code, and since you can't change Editor's Notes in code, I am really thinking that something has gone wrong with your install of SkinStudio.
Remove SkinStudio with ODNT Zapper WWW Link then reinstall SS .

Make sure you add the code to both the Shutdown and Logoff sections.

Cavan, hey, that's a nifty little app. Thanks for that.
Alas,however, no dice. Ran it. did a reboot. reinstalled SS. Still, frustratingly, everytime I click save in SS, it defaults back to that long message. I tried looking for that text, but all the .uis templates don't even have it, I don't even know where it came from. SS itself keeps the message I want. No problem when I open up preferences, there it is short and sweet. But in the skin itself, I can watch the text change as soon as I click save. I am currently searching every file on my pc for that string of text to where it lives. I hope it's something editable.
On a side note. There should be a link ( or if there is already I wish I knew where ) to all these little helper apps. Like this ODNT zapper, the aniutil, the cookie killer. Anyway, thanks again.
And you too Bushman, I will remember to cover both sections. Thanks.

Just a quick update on 2 problems solved.
In SS, in Tools / Preferences on the Program / General page under "On skin save:" the CheckBox " Add copyright notice" needs to be UNchecked so as not to overwrite whatever Editor's Notes you have put there yourself. That's what I was doing wrong. I thought it need to be activated to add my Note, but it writes it's own.
And thanks again Cavan and Bushman, got the Transparency on my LogOff Dialogs working easily.

For shutdown and logoff dialogs you need to add:
Trans=1
PerPixel=1
to the code for each.
