Glitchy skinning issue
Monday, February 18, 2008 by 2of3 | Discussion: Skinning
I've just started on my first Vista skin. It's also my first using exclusively Sks6.
I've run into a strange and very annoying issue and I'm going to try to describe it in as much detail as possible.
Yesterday Photoshop stopped working properly (Photoshop CS3 extended). Here's what happens: I open PS and either open an existing doc or create a new one. So far, so good. Ok, I want to save...... nope! Everything in the dropdown menu is listed as inactive. The same goes for layers menu and others. So the gist is, I can only do one action in PS before everything is locked.
At first I thought it was a problem with PS, so I did an uninstall/reboot/download PS/install/reboot. The problem persists! Logged on to IRC to ask for advice and got some good suggestions like doing a reg. clean, defragment etc. Nothing helped
Then I started thinking about what I was doing when the problem started. Ah, I was building a WB. Ok, so I unloaded WB and tested PS. Bingo! everything works fine. My second test was to apply a different skin. Turns out, PS works fine with every skin except the one I'm working on
Even older skins by me and other authors don't create a conflict. I opened my skin in Sks and saved it under a different name. Applied it. Same issue. I updated WB6 and SKS6..... no help there. I even ran an update on Photoshop. I've done multiple reboots in between actions, as well.
So far, the only thing I've skinned on this theme is the start panel. I haven't even touched any other section, so my question is: What have I done to "break" this skin? Or is it a faulty template that I'm working from? It's not too late to rebuild from scratch if that's what it takes, but I wanted to ask for ideas before doing that
