Editing author name on Windowblind
Wednesday, July 21, 2010 by jazzymjr | Discussion: Skinning
I am working on a fall blind, and I used one of my very old blinds (circa 2005!) as the template. Well, I have the author name as my full given name, followed by my nick on that blind. I tried changing it in SKS...it changes on the property sheet, but not on the preview in the Windowblinds config window. How do I do this with SKS 7? I knew how to do it in SKS 5 by editing the SKS ini file. But, I am a loss this time.
Anyone have any ideas how to do this?

In WB config, go to skin options>rebuild list.

That didn't change a thing! Dang.....thanks for trying.
Maybe someone else will come up with another idea.

If you have changed the skin details in sks and saved it you could try this: Make a fresh .wba from it, delete the skin from your computer, and reinstall it.

Duh! If I had half a brain, I would be dangerous! When I first edited the properties sheet, I was trying to do it with the substyle that was open in SKS, not the main blind! Last nite, a light bulb went off in my head...and I tried it again with the main blind (the .uis one, not the .sss one), and Voila! It worked.
So thanks...your fix was right on the money!
