Just Starting...
Start Panel
Sunday, December 30, 2007 by Xiandi | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I just started to follow a tut in the WinC Wiki about making a start menu. It says to create an image of the start menu and then divide it up into 5 pieces. The pic there shows guide lines that divide it into 8 pieces. The explaination of what the pieces are is not very clear. 
How should I divide it?
When I create images from the pieces, should the canvas size be only the size of the piece or should it be the size on the start menu?
I'm sure I'll have many more questions later....

I have a couple more questions...
On the start menu, when I mouse over the "log off" "turn off computer" and "all programs", it's blue(yuk). I can't figure out how to change that. Is there a way?
What are "coloring masks" for, and how do you use them?
Are there any tuts out there for creating sub styles? I have no clue how to make one, or if I even need to.
Thanks again for all your help.

I haven't located this in Sks 6 either (
This is in the classic colors area I believe, but I can never remember which section!

I haven't found how to turn that off in SKS6, I've been turning it off in SKS5.

2of3 is right, the color to change is Menu Highlight.

Unless you have a viable reason for making a substyle.. on your first WB, I wouldn't bother with a substyle of any kind.

Sure am!! I still need to skin the Vista parts, and do a little cleaning up before it's ready.
I'm looking for someone with Vista to test it, any takers?

I thought I might want to for all the colors I need, but it looks like windowblinds will recolor pretty well. I want to match all the other colors I have on my other Talc stuff.

Thought I'd stop in again to tell you that I found where to change the background of "more programs" on the start menu in SKS6. It's under "change skin colors". If you go there, at the top of the screen is a dropown menu, choose "show skin deined system colors"....it's the "menu highlight" button.
