Bug in WB 6.4?
Tuesday, February 17, 2009 by jazzymjr | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I originally posted this in the thread about the release of WB 6.4, but got no response. So I decided to start a new thread.
I updated to WB 6.4 on my Vista machine. Now, I have a problem with the blind I am working on. The text color on the right side of the start menu is not the text color I had there before. My chosen text color is still in the text colors area, but the color that is showing is not that color! I like the normal text color on my start menu to be the same in all panes. What WB 6 did, was take the mousover color from the All Programs panel and used it on the right side too! Is this a bug, or is there a workaround for this? My XP version of this blind is fine, but I made it on my laptop with SKS 5.
Any help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Here's a screenie of what I am talking about:

I manually changed the colors for the all the panes to the original color I had chosen. The right side still comes up with the mouseover color of the All Programs pane....I even reset that color the normal color...the all programs panel changed color, but the right side panel did not. I then tried changing it through the code editor, and that didn't work either.....HELP!

you need the latest Skinstudio 6 version.
Change the text color for Item mouse over Right for both normal and mouse over
Go under Right hand side Places list (right) and change also the text color as well for normal and over state and you should be set. Vista also handles colors different, your mouse over will have to be the same as your normal state.
Hope it helps you

Alexandrie, I did all that...many times over! Prior to updating to WB 6.4, my colors were as they were supposed to be. And, I didn't have any problem with my last Vista skin either (that was before I updated to 6.4).
I have SKS 6.30.020, the newest version that is listed.

Fixed the skin and e-mailed back.
Thank you so much! My start panel looks like it is supposed to now!
