Horizontal Taskpane in windowblinds skins

Tuesday, February 20, 2007 by uladk | Discussion: Skinning

Hello everyone,

I cannot find any information on the net about horizontal taskpanes (running along the top as opposed to vertically on the left). I've even asked a couple authors who have made skins with this feature but they would not give me any help on that matter. Can anyone point me to information on this or explain how to create them? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Never mind I have sorted it out. It's easier to take an existing 'Shellstyle1.UIFile' from a project and use it as a template. The only section we're interested in the the task pane is "style resid=taskpane"

This site explains the language used in the UIFile and is extremely handy:
