Bet you didn't get as much on him as I did... I got six hours worth of tape, and 5.99999 hours of it is pretty juicy stuff.
However, I ruled out blackmail cos Doc probably has a similar tape. ![]()
BTW, that's a pretty good looking Xtreme setup you're working on there, Steve... hopefully you'll upload it when you've got it completed.

Jorge...Is there anything in the Me....uh
...NextStart manual about skinning the popups from the startbar?

Lol! You can't exactly complain about LACK of documentation. ![]()

We give them a hand, they want the arm! ![]()
If you mean the window thumbnail backgrounds, those are not skinnable....
...for now, at least.

Heck no! This is awesome Jorge! I wish all software came with at least half as much. Great job!

OK Jorge....I'm stumped here. Looked through all the settings on how to change this. I can't get the main NextStart startmenu to match the rest of the theme I'm working on...the submenus are ok....but the main one stays the same no matter which theme I'm using. Help! ![]()
Update: Nevermind...found it. ![]()

Ok Jorge...question time again. On the dropdown menu on the top dock for WorkShelf...where are the settings for the text color and effects. I looked everywhere in the help files and opened everything I could to find them and don't see them anywhere. Help! ![]()
Update: Ok...somehow it fixed itself. I assumed settings for the startmenu applied to all menus...but for some reason they weren't doing that at first. Not sure what I did to fix it...so if you can shed some light on it that would be great. ![]()

Why did you have to tell him, Jorge?
