Paying for individual WB's
Wednesday, March 14, 2007 by garsgolfer | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I've been wondering about the thoughts and experiences of others regarding paying for individual WB skins. Are you finding aspects of the skins not skinning properly or as expected? And, why is there no download/purchase stats being posted per skin, as there are with all others?
Seems even the best skinners struggle with building perfect skins. The one I am using now is named "StealthOS", a great skin, and IMO by one of the best skinners, yet, the start panel text "Turn off Computer" falls off the panel, while 2 of his other skins appear as they should.
So far, only a few appear to properly skin all aspects of the applications I run; like Sean Grey's "Digital Grey." However, that same skin becomes annoying as my mouse passes over the text on the Start-menu panel because all listings highlight. His "Chocolate", which is a great skin, however it to has problems with text falling off the start panel, and those things shouldn't happen. Other skins fail to skin check boxes, eliminating the check box choice altogether making the skin worthless in a few applications.
Even though these problems seems sporadic per skin, I seldom find the perfectly complete skin. I just downloaded Stardocks "Stargate SG-1" skin to find it's "Turn off Computer" is almost non-existent, I deleted it.
No disrespect meant to hardworking skinners, cause many do a good job. But, I just won't pay for an unfinished product, no matter what it is.

You apparently didn't read my OP; and think if it works on your system, and not on others, then their system is the problem... LOL - all that deserves is....
I can run Ecliz_Deluxe 2, Edisso, Arrow, Rusty Rooster, Dynyx, and DogmaX4 with no problems. On the other hand, Thallos, Aura, Ares, Digital Grey and Chocolate and others have various problems not showing the turn off computer buttons properly. And, as stated Digital Grey (which I really like) hasn't a problem with the buttons, but does have a mouse hover problem on the start menue big time.
Brainiac and night train seem constructive in that they are thinking of possible solutions.
I have skin studio Pro; what and specifically where can I tweak?

I did read, and as I read I notice that a few people mentioned the third button for laptops. You said yourself that you have an undock button right? That's what's messing up the skin, and it's on your system, so my original post stands.
big whoop. Is it your company that's 23 years old or you. If it's you that's 23 then you must have been a freaking genius to start a company when you were a toddler. You're so technically competent yet you couldn't figure out where to post. Most people would be willing to help if you weren't such an ass, and even after being an ass, people still helped you. Kudo's to them. Grow up.

button issue is in the logoff panel content margins.

And a suggestion for Skinstudios to include these two buttons in the skinstudios preview panel as an option...

Perhaps you can try one more time or post it here using Imageshack or Photobucket.

If someone is being a rude ass, maybe it's better not to feed the troll. Ya dig?
{and yes, I am aware that I chucked a few peanuts at the troll too. I was wrong-ish}
