WINDOWBLIND TUTORIAL PART 1 The start menu
Monday, May 31, 2010 by Vampothika | Discussion: Skinning
Hi guys,
we have had some requests about learning how to make window blinds, some of the tuts out there are a bit dated and hard to understand,
so Im putting together a series of extremly easy to follow and understand tutorials focused on how to make a windowblind from beginning to end.
If anyone has questions, please ask! or if anyone has suggestions....do tell us, the more secrets we crank out the better.
Tomorrows tutorial will look at painting margins, startmenu font, username font, margin seperators, all programs arrow and the log off buttons.

yh how do you save a it to a dll so you can make a full theme and pass it on to other users like other ppl do 
Reply #55 Monday, June 20, 2011 10:11 PM
You can't. Each of the skins described in these tutorials come with inherent copyright. You can't save then as a DLL and passing them on to others is considered theft unless you have the authors permission. There are links in your post. I suggest you check them out and read the TOS...terms of service that comes with you joining this site.

Do you mean the WD skin after you make it? if so it's done in SkinStudio
If you mean a hole theme i.e. Cursor, Icons, Wallpaper, Etc. that would be Theme Manager
No dll's are Harmed in the making of a WindowBlind Skin...
EDIT
also what Uvah said. Excepted for theme Manager you can share it with your friends BUT DO NOT upload it to a torrent site ...
Why you can share a them Manager Suit cause you are not sending them the Skins your just sending them a Theme Manager Suit and they have to
have Impulse installed and any other Program from StarDock that is in the TMS i.e. Windowblinds, Cursor FX, Icon Packager, Etc. then TM will look for it and apply it ...
So if for Example you don't have Icon Packager installed it will not apply that part of it and so on ...
or something to that affect...
NOTE. Theme Manager is Available exclusively through Object Desktop™ (Object Desktop is available for $49.95)

Each time you finish another part is there anyway the graphics can be zipped so he one doesn't have to be saved and printer. Just asking as I know it's extra work.
yes I intend zipping the whole lot when its finished and uploading it to my gallery.
