New SkinStudio 7 Pro beta on Impulse
Wednesday, November 25, 2009 by Neil Banfield | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Just a heads up that there is a much improved SKS7 beta on Impulse for OD Ultimate subscribers.
It adds an updated UI, UIS0 skin creation and lots of new Windows 7 theme parts.

Should this be happening?
I remember reading that there is no pressed state on win7 taskbar buttons.

If that's true, than that's pretty sucky.

One more thing:
In order for the show desktop button to blend into the taskbar, one has to add the line: BackgroundEffect=1 to the code section. There should probably be something in the extra tab to check off instead of adding the code manually

Also, can we have the favorites menu skinnable in Vista again? It used to be skinnable...now it's not.

I second that motion, not everyone looks in the codex ...and adding it manually shouldnt have to be done at all.

In the traysection image, sks 7 save the .png images as .bmp...please correct this, i've edited the code editor manually for the .tga image

If a PNG is being converted to a BMP it will be because the image contains no per pixel alpha.
Why do you need it to save as a tga?

It was an image 100% transparent, because i've try an image .png and it worked correctly but then i want come back to original state without image so i've made an image 70 x 30 empty and when i've save it, appear .bmp with a classic black image, so i've edited the code editor manually and i've change the bmp with tga and all is return normal
Now i don't remember if this thing happens in sks 6 too, if yes is a suggestion for a future update

What I do for the tray when I don't want an image there, I just put a 1px color from the taskbar along the left edge of the transparent image I make, save it as a png, and then skin studio will convert it to a tga. This happens in SKS 6...I found out how to work around it by trial and error. As long as you have at least 1 px of a color, it will be converted to a tga by SKS.

It's a very good suggestion jazzymjr, it works on empty image too, but you must change the extension from bmp to tga in code editor

Been having some troubles with the "Parameters are Inconcorect" errors, just by choosing images from the dropdown list.
The section it's been happening in is the "XP specific section".
The whole thing stops working. The only way I can close it is the old "control, alt, delete" method and add it manually.
XP Home (SP3).

I highly recommend using the tip Jazzy mentioned. You can run across some weird things with totally transparent images.

The taskbar button states seem to be mixed up when working with w7.
In XP & Vista, everything seems to be fine.
In W7, however, it seems as though the "highlighted & activated" state is being used instead of the "pressed" state.
The normal "highlighted & activated" state works fine, it just appears that the "pressed" state is being ignored and the "highlighted & activated" state is being used in its place.
Should this be happening?
