Taskbar skinning issue

Noob whine

Tuesday, March 10, 2009 by k10w3 | Discussion: Skinning

I've got the Windowblind skinning fever again...this time I thought I would try something a little more subdued, that my usual loud style, a neutral and what my clothing catalogues like to call "Capri blue"  (summer is coming up, and I like to use a lot of Florida Beach wallpapers).

Anyway...I wanted the taskbar to be sort of a track that held gel-like buttons (sort of like blue raspberry popsicles in a tray); everything looks fine when I put it in Skin Studio, but when I apply it, the middle of the taskbar goes MIA!  (screenshot below, to demonstrate)



What must I do to achieve success with this project?  (...am I asking for a smart@ss comment here, or what?)  

I would appreciate any help anyone feels generous enough to dispense to me on this.

Holy crap!  I wonder what in the world is going on, for it to do that.  It didn't do that to me.  I had to redownload it after my factory reinstall and I've opened it in SKS6 and everything is exactly as I had it.

Well, I'm glad you're working on it, and I hope it can be fixed.  I surely appreciate your time and effort, because honestly, most days I totally wonder what exactly it is I'm doing in Windowblinds, and I SURE don't get any of the coding.

If I apply the skin right after Dloading it applies correctly , HOWEVER as soon as I open it in SKS5 or SKS6 it shows 50% diamond images

SKS must be readind some of the older UIS files but I am looking for a way around it with reimport ever image sorry it is taking so long I have never see it do Quite like this (close) but it is just kinda odd Wblinds reads it SKS does not?

 

possibility...it is looking in a specific location(that just happen to have the same name) for images to UPDATE from...like if you import an image from the desktop and then change that image(possibly for another skin)...SKS grabs the new version.
