Stargate SG1 Issue..

Saturday, March 17, 2007 by vStyler | Discussion: Stardock Support General

 https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=6080&libid=1   heres link to the WB


  Ok guys, fix this for me if you can, here is the bug.. and here's what J. Aroche (poster) said it was doing.


I myself also experienced misplaced images and flashing in different areas of the start menu in the initial stages of making the user panel animation but it went away as I finished the Panel. I also had a couple of other people mention it. Could It be the width of the User panel image, its 20 states and 8500px wide.. when I tried adding one more frame.. it wouldnt work at all so I had to settle for 20 states and assumed 8500px was maxed out for width. I haven't found a wider image in any other previous WB's. 


Please help on this I plan to do a lot of animating in future skins and I dont want this to happen again.   



Quote: " But I have one problem with the start menu, it's very weird so I didn't knew what to do. This is my problem it just keeps on flashing like that and with all the animations that the start menu has, it just kind of dmages my computer in some weird way hehe, last time my computer just went black and restarted. Any help? "

Hey vStyler, works perfectly for me, it may be a language issue, as in non English version of XP. If it is it could be that only certain language versions have this issue.

Well, that would certainly not be good but honestly I dont think it is, It did it on my system a few times during design and on one of my testers machines..initially, so who knows,  

Hopefully someone @ Stardock can clear this up or making animated panels in the future wont be so enticing.

I have no start menu problem, but using this skin made disk defragmenter crash.
Can you tell me how to fix it?

I had a problem with the start menu on this. The "open iris" "all programs" was messed up. My problem was that I had the font overide set under the Advanced Settings. I switched it to "leave skin fonts alone" and it was fixed.

I havent had anyone else mentioning that and after testing defrag works fine for me with SG1 loaded.

I wish I could be of more help on that one, hopefully you dont have to defrag often, I always set it to defrag while i sleep

How did you get your startmenu folders to display the writing as gobble-dee-gook,it looks like aliens have hacked your comp

gobble-dee-gook = jibberish

gobble-dee-gook = Espanol = Spanish I assume.

I really don't think that is the problem, sinc all my other wbs (animated/non animated) are working fine.

Hey John...That problem happened on my pc too... but i didn't mentioned it since my PC is using old nvidia card with dying GPU fan.. ...so I thought its only happening to me... but since someone else have it...

I also having similar problem when I try to animate the "More Program" arrow on my own skin. I am guessing this has something to do with Graphics cards. Maybe everyone who having the problem could list down their Graphics cards maker and model..

Mine is Nvidia Mx400/440

I think that is probably why its happening, it happened to me too.. on my old PC , no probs at all on this one.

I have made a Static non-animated version for those who may have problems, if you want it, just ask.

I would still ike to hear from Stardock on this though.

John it is a code issue and I'm gona take a closer look at the personality and how it looks with some other wb's. I have to see where and what goes there. But I did see it make some funny moves on different system funcutions during the loading at first. Which seems to point to MDI. But not sure yet? Will get back with an answer here later today! I hope ???

Hi All,

This is great to hear, hopefully there will be a down-loadable fix for this, or even a re-download and re-install to fix it.

either way I am looking forward to it, as I think this is a fantastic skin, and the author has done a tremendous job on it.

one thing I would like to ask for is can we have a direct link put here in this thread please, as I feel that most people will be watching this thread for any News.

PS does this come with any kind of animations at all, I am yet to find a theme that I can use animations on, that would really be the icing on this very nice cake to have this fantastic theme animate things such as the recycle bin and file copy etc.

Steve,

Yeah Steve, there is a direct link to the SG1 theme in initial post... and yes, its quite animated.

Hi again vStyler,

has it been fixed now then ?

could you please link me to that thread for the SG1 theme initial post, I seem to be going round in circles trying to find it.

these forums are great, but a bit of a maze till you get used to them.

one last thing though, you mention that the theme is quite animated, but I can't seem to get any of them to work at all, I have everything enabled in the "my computer-advanced section" but they still don't work, and thoughts please.

Thanks again.

WWW Link

You DO have windowblinds installed right?

Hi John,

yes I do have WB installed.

I'm going to use your clockwork orange for now, and check this again, maybe there will be something new on it, or maybe you might find out whats causing these anomalies.

Thanks again,

Steve.
