IE 6 not using blurred shadows on toolbar buttons.

I so want this to work.

Is there a reason for this behavior?

These buttons dont use the assigned font or colors either...'use own colors' is activated.

Not sure about the two first ones, but the Favourites menu is one of them difficult custom controls MS has implemented. It's not a standard menu item. So much for standardisation....

Also,why does the vertical toolbar divider still show if I skinned it with magic pink?The horizontal one works fine.

Posting here so anyone can correct my mistakes.

dont forget to turn off the "please wait" text.

The gray line can be changed. It is a common problem with favorite menus. Go to Classic colors/Menus/Background-menu. You can change it to match the menu background. Because you built the skin for 4.6 frames the menu background shouldn't come into play. I haven't run into any issues yet while running the skin with the color changed. It might be a shadow on some odd menu text but I can't be sure.

Favorites menu icons and text don't move. I think that's why they gave the option for it's own menu.


try assigning a shadow to your font at Controls/Menus/Bar background/Bar items. Do the same for Bar items - toolbar like. Does that fix it? Those fonts are picky. I use per pixel framed skins so I'm not up to speed on those buttons in 4.6. changing the fonts I said made a difference but I got the skin all screwed up now. I'm gonna have to redownload and start over. LOL

I don't see any problem with the vertical divider so I will assume you fixed that.


Awesome skin. Love your style. Working out the text colors and fonts is gonna be a bumpy road. I'll be around if you need a tow.

Headed your way...check the two fonts closely,one is not a truetypebut a type 1,you may need to install it to your fonts folder.It should appear LMOST SYSTEM WI like it a lot,it looks like I print...All caps just different heights for capitals.

That should say'almost system wide'
The please wait is left over from the old skin...will be redesigned.
Thanks for the tip on the grey line...I will look into that and the button font settings closer.

While I have you all hanging on my every word...  
Start menu item buttons display incorrectly...you can see the actual image pasted just above the SkinStudio mouseover.Looks like its not using translucency correctly.

And when are we ever going to get content margins for that graphic...the icons are always pushed up against the left edge.
