How do I get SKS 5

Friday, August 15, 2008 by jester382 | Discussion: SkinStudio

 I'm working with SKS 6 but I make XP skins, so I need SKS 5. I know I have to get it through SDC, but where do I go on there to get it?

Jester, you can make XP skins on SkinStudio 6. If you still want the v5, it's on Impulse.

Yeah I know I can still make 'em, but there some things I can't do On SKS 6 like hiding the startmenu shadow. Thanks danilloOc, appreciate it.

yeah, I know the only one that I found though is Skin Studio 6 Professional, I was looking under the store tab and browsing the catalog in impulse, and that was the only one there.

It appears under the "desktop" tab on mine,along with SKS6 and SKS Standard. It may only be available with ODNT Ultimate.Sorry I wasn't much help.

Jester,

To hid the start menu shadows on SkinStudio 6,

go to Edit Startmenu and taskbar > Edit Start Menu > Top Part >> tab "Extra",
there's a setting "Hide shadow on start menu"

Yeah I know how to hide it, it just doesn't work with SKS 6.The "Hide shadow on start menu" is enabled but it still shows, it did this with another skin I had made. I was told it's a bug SKS6 has when making XP skins. I was also told that XP skins should be made with SKS 5 and to only use SKS 6 to make changes that SKS 5 can't do. Well SKS 5 isn't available for download anywhere, from what I see. I'm thinking the reason it shows on your desktop tab in impulse Wizard is because you had it before SKS 6 came out, and now that SKS 6 is out they got rid of SKS 5, so it looks like I'm shit out of luck. Thanks anyway guys, I appreciate the help.

No, I don't believe so. I only got ODNT Ultimate on April 23,2008.Was SKS6 released after this date? I'm not a skinner so I don't have any version installed,but all three show as available.(where is ZubaZ when you need him?)

Oh ok, I missed the part in your other comment about ODNT Ultimate. Yeah that could be why I'm not seeing it. Thanks Wizard.

You are quite welcome.Maybe Stardock could make it available at a reduced price for those who do want it,but don't want to purchase the whole package.Just a thought.
