New Blind Anyone?
Sunday, April 10, 2011 by JuniorCrooks | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
OK usually people make blinds and then create all the goodies to go with them. I am doing it in reverse. I would like to hire someone to make a blind to go with my latest smx. Yes I will pay. Below is the image of the skin I want the blind to match. Let me know if you are interested.

looks brilliant, the only thing i would change would be the purple text on the stmenu, but your making it for JC, so i understand its probably what he wanted.
xxxxxx kitty.
Actually kitty I did not specify the color of the start menu text but I do not have a problem with it being purple only because it changes when you recolor the skin. I have recolored it blue and grey and each time the color of the text changed too. That is quite cool in my book because I have not noticed other blinds do that but perhaps I have not been observant enough.

I'm going to play with font colors for a little bit and see if SkinStudio will let me fix this hard to read text thing.
Also, I made a tabbed dock to go with it:

You did -- check your reply #4. If you want it a different color, let me know.
Oops, I guess I did. Like I said I am fine with the color because it recolors nicely. However if you think it would look better a different color then by all means change it. I am not being indecisive. I just trust your judgment Karen. You have done a bang up job with this.

I'm going to leave the text purple; like you said, it recolors well, plus it kind of breaks up the monochrome aspect of it.
I'm really grateful you gave me this opportunity to create this for you, Ken, and I'm really glad you like it! 
RND - check you're PMs.

I found that the text in the recycle bin is missing where it say organize....empty recycle bin and restore. I don't know if anyone else noticed. I wanted to put up a screen shot but for some reason photobuckets page won't render correctly and I can't log in. Very slow response on every site today. Connections timing out. Problem loading page and not just here but at all the hotspots I use.

Which style is the text missing on, Uvah? I have the text in both styles on my computer, but I have CCleaner configured to attach to the Recycle Bin, so maybe that's why the text is present.

I'm still trying to get photobucket to work but its being a pain. Open the recycle bin. Under the header where you normally see organize....empty recycle bin....restore. The text is not there. When I mouse over all I get is the rectangle but no text. Once I get photobucket loaded correctly I'll put up a screenshot.

This is what I'm talking about. I had to change locations.

Got it! Thanks...fixing it now. It's not that way in the light version (or at least not on mine, but I've been putzin' with the fonts all day now...changed the some of the buttons and stuff on the light version -- still have a few days of working things out on this).

Tell you what. When this beauty is done I hope Philly is ready and WG 'cause I smell.............SUITE.

Doing the light version now. Get almost the same thing in the recycle bin. Only ones missing is empty recycle bin and restore. Everything else seems fine.

I figured out what the problem was there, Uvah and corrected it in my working copy. If you want to make the adjustment yourself, in SkinStudio, go to Edit Explorer/IE Shell Parts-->Edit Vista/7 Explorer parts-->Command bar-->Buttons-->Extra settings-->check the "Enable to use colour settings below" checkbox. I had mistakenly left it unchecked.
