Da Brain's update page.

for the 3 or 4 people that are interested... ;)

Sunday, August 2, 2009 by I.R. Brainiac | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Updating some skins...thought I would show off some of the changes.

ecoLogical is getting the full 7,Vista,Xp makeover.With some help from Dani on 7 and some inspiration from vStyler there will be 29 substyles!

Knot Vista is also getting the full 7,Vista XP makeover.Many changes,huge selection of styles and colors.New name will be Knot Aero so it will not overwrite the original (if you are one of the few that already have it )

 

 

Thanks fer lookin'

damn.

 

  everybody should have these....they are just pieces of art.....

 

had ecoLogical on on the weekend waiting for v to get his holiday butt back into Havana gear.....and it's simply beautiful.... can just sit there happily playing with the start button...

I love the new damask effect on the start menu.....but gonna have to content myself with XP for awhile longer...

Glad you're updating these, so people can become reaquainted with them.....they don't know what they're missing out on....

I'm sorry,yes that was confusing...nobody has the new versions yet...I was being silly about how lousy the sales were for this blind. But thats my fault...it was an odd color scheme and thats why I started playing with it...to dress it up a little.For some reason this color dosnt even recolor well so you pretty much had to like green or grey.(and leaves and bugs...pretty limited appeal) 

Almost ready for testers.

I'm sorry to hear this met only limited success. I love the blind and the colors. Bugs too!

well...some mini disaster delays...some files buggered...notepad was involved...got a lot of checking to do just to get back to almost finished.

Heres a shot of one of the textured subs on XP...something is wrong with the Start button overlay...on just this one sub...same thing happens on vStyler's system so its not just me.

We are both having button overlay issues but its hard to determine the difference between a WB problem and a skin problem.ALL my other subs work fine...yet this one is the same as all the others.

If anybody has any bright ideas let me know.

If its a WB bug I can ignore it til Neil fixes it...if its a skin thing,I must repair it...but I dont have a clue what could be causing it.

I have tried making sure all settings are the same as one that works...different settings...importing new graphics...deleting texture layers...nothing works.

Here's one to try.
Hit the windows logo key and mouse over the start menu,
if the menu displays as you expect it to, then you
have one less problem to sort out.

Hi friends ...after much fightin' and cussin' and minor disasters...I'm back to where I left off.

An excursion into notepad skinning finally paid off and start button fixed.

Plus some PS batch recoloring.(dont use SKS for recoloring unless you just 1 substyle...it cant handle them all.You will end up with some images recolored and some not)

I'm about to give up...the start button may be fixed but now the taskbar buttons have dropped down even tho they have no empty space above them...settings are identical to a sub that works.

AND...the taskbar at double height is drawing at 61 pixels...61 fucking pixels! HTF is that even fucking possible?!

Theses layers are jacking with my skin somehow...I didnt have ANY of these problems til I added some layers.

I look in notepad and SKS has written the lines of code weird.Like padded away from the edge and sections touching each other...no space between them.

WTF! I spend DAYS on these little bullshit problems that should never be. If I cant finish this shit properly without a goddam fight every other day...then I quit.

Deleting the layers dosnt even fix the problem...SKS leaves behind all the extra code.

I can't help you. It's too bad it wasn't a TV; then you could shoot it. I can see why you'd want to give up, but I hope you don't. Just keep hammering away at it. You're a clever guy; you can probably sort it out. In the meantime, take a look at a screenshot I made.ecological
