skin exclusion problem
Friday, January 16, 2004 by dowkeruk | Discussion: Stardock Software
and leave unchecked the box `this exclusion is not
inherited by any apps launched by this app', and then do
launch another app from the excluded one, this launched app
appears in the default skin.
Further, when the specified skin is Aquarium the small animation
is motionless in the excluded app. This even happens if I use
Aquarium as the general skin but `exclude' an application using
Aquarium as the specified skin. The animation works OK in the
non-excluded apps. I hope this makes sense.
There also seems to be a disagreement with my Nvidia Geforce 4MX
Integrated GPU. Details on request.

exclusion window seems to read that, if the
box IS checked, then the launched apps are NOT
excluded, ie have the default skin. Conversely,
if it is NOT checked then the launched apps SHOULD
be excluded too. (Sorry about upper cases).
Actually I've tried both ways with the same result --
the launched app is default.

Let's see if I can explain this.......... in the Per app settings window, you have 2 sections. In the top section, you can specify what skin is used on a particular program. (This is what you're using). Below that are the Exclsuion features, and the check box for "This exclusion is not inherited by any apps launched by this app" has nothing to do with setting a specific skin. It is for the exclusion list only. Does that makes sense?

skin) and if I don't check this box, what skin will an app
launched by the excluded app have? Will it be the default skin
or the specified skin?

Setting a specified skin is NOT excluding it. Excluding an app means you are turning the skinning off, in whole are in part. I don't think you can set a specified skin on a program, and have all programs launched by it, use the same skin. The program s launched by said app will use the default skin, unless otherwise specified in the Per App settings.

default skin. And this should be so whether or no the box
is checked. ?
But, therefore, what does this box actually do? I refers to
apps launched by the excluded app, so it must affect these
in some way. What way?

You're still confusing setting a specified skin for an app, with excluding it. These are 2 different things.
If you exclude an app form being skinned, that checkbox, if checked, will allow the program launched by the excluded program to be skinned.
If not checked, any program launched by the excluded app will also be excluded.

patience. The box in question only comes
into play if the first box `total exclusion'
is checked. Excusion = total exclusion.
If anyone could check that the title animation in
Aquarium doesn't work for an application that is
`specified' in `per application' I would be grateful.
It's probably not vital, only interesting.

I am not exaclty sure what you are saying here. this is what I get from it: you excluded a program. Now when you launch another program from this one it isn't skinned the same as that program, but rather in the skin that you have selected as the normal skin (what everything that is not excluded is skinned as). From what I read that checkbox when unchecked makes the programs that launch not have the skin of the excluded but rather the normal skin. Are you saying that the launched program isn't skinned. Sorry but
I am lost to what you are saying
