New Windowblinds Skin
Yellow I am working on...
Tuesday, September 8, 2009 by rachelm920 | Discussion: Skinning
Hello fellow WinCustomize skinners... I am working on a new Windowblinds skin appropriately named "yellow". Anyhow, I would like to come up with something really original and not another "xp clone". This is what I have done so far with the task bar and start menu. Do you have any suggestions? Should I do something different? Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

OK Now I've resolved my computer problem by switching it to a bitmap but for some reason my rebar background and UIS2 top border aren't matching up. I've tried changing the margins but it doesn't seem to do anything 
Here's a screen print to show you the problem I'm having...
PS- I'm thinking of now naming my skin "Swiss Cheese"

U have to deduct the width of the frames (combined) from the margins to have it match up as the rebar isnt as wide as the top frame. Although that is for per pixel frames.
if these are the older bitmap frames, just make sure the rebar and top frame are the same width and make margins the same and they should match up. Make sure the margins are over a plain area of the skin , not over a cheese hole

I did a few things when I first started using Skin Studio that didn't play well with my computer -- things like code input that was impossible, and it would shake my desktop view and then revert back to Windows classic, which IS very disturbing, but you learn from it and never make that mistake again.
You'll get the hang of what can be done and what can't be done soon, I promise.
