I wish the next version of WindowBlinds would......
Wednesday, July 14, 2004 by Essencay | Discussion: Skinning
Just do two new things...
1. Let you use a separate graphic for the startbutton on the vertical taskbar
2. Let you use a magic pink mouseover for the "All Programs" instead of having to fiddle with making the graphics "hide" the mouseover and just being tricksy about it.

Toolbar sizers have been skinnable since WB first came out.

Hippy, I think he means the black arrows when the taskbar is partially hidden. Same as the black arrows in the drop menus.

I'd like to see the little glyphs on the task pane skinnable.
I'm talking about the music note, etc. just to the left of 'My Music', Picture Tasks', etc.

Unfortunately it is skinned, but it takes its graphics from the horizontal taskbar grippers

no graphics,just a solid color,...would be great if it used the vertical taskbar sizer.
and what pictoratus said...and the throbber(tho I finally regedited mine away)...a window background for all those windows that dont have shellstyles(especially a window graphic with borders and margins for drop shadows and stuff)

I'd like to see the next version of Windowblinds make me coffee and a bagel in the morning and do my work for me while I spend all my time skinning.

I'd like to be able to specify EXACTLY how tall the taskbar is. I'm am so FREAKIN TIRED of having to play around with content margins in the item properties!!!! >
I'm trying to work on a skin that will be next to impossible to finish unless this is implemented.

A new tutorial would be nice so I can figure out them XP Bars and Chunks It's always nice to open up a new version of SKS and go "WooHoo" a new feature...er...what do I do with it, except Delete the unknown...didn't skin it before....no need to skin it now.
MDI buttons....use magic pink and transparency...they don't show in tooltips or PSP8....uncheck transparency then the background has to match the menubar, which means, your tooltips have to match as well or they look dooky (thanks for this new expression I added to my vocabulary, IR )

Maybe make the text a different font on the Start Panel(More Pr. & Places). Very Annoying the way it is, stuck with the same ol same ol. Also on the User Pane, be able to control the position of the User Name just a wee bit better, like the way it used to be.

dookie by any other name would smell just as ... uh, nevermind. It doesn't quite translate.

I wouldn't mind seeing adequate translucency support on the start menu too.

Translucency in the taskbar and titlebar would be good too.

make the vertical separator on the toolbar work.
transparency work on all graphics
skin the toolbar sizer
make margins work(content margins too) for all graphics
I still want to thank all the developers a Stardock for the improvements they have made.
