Liquid2 for WindowBlinds

Saturday, August 25, 2001 by Chris | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Hmmm... According to the contents of WBA file, this is an old file, going back to last year. No group skinning, no drop down button skin, no MDI skin.

I just downloaded it. I thought this was just updated. Or am I just confused?

Did you already have the old one installed? If so, please delete the old skin and the install the new one.

Actually I did. I even downloaded file into a temp directory and opened it in Winzip and it was the old one. Everything in it was dated 2000. the UIS file said it was for WB 1.3.

Chris is being much apprectiative of MadIce's verification of whether Chris is insane or not

There is something fishy about this skin. The menu wasn't skinned, no MDI buttons either and the drop down button wasn't there. Is this a cheap trick to beat Blue Toast by just stating it was updated. Nah. Frogboy and Dangeruss would never do that!

The skin is probably broken or a wrong version was uploaded.

I much prefer the conspiracy theory with Frogboy and Dangeruss running covert, black ops deep in the heart of Guam, attempting to thwart the resurgent Blue Toast Cabal.

But then, that's just me.

Quiet, Chris, or this thread will be terminated.
Covert-Ops must remain that way at all costs....

DandoB starts looking over my shoulder, in dark corners; as I work on my new skin.

Mind you that this could me the future of skinning, Dan.

MadIce is already shivering...

Let me check. I did update the skin correctly (since the screenshot was updated). The file date on the .wba should be very recent. If it's not, I'll resubmit it.

I can confirm that my 'new' version is old, also.

Hmm, and when Frogboy updates this skin, where do you think it will show up. You got it, in the newest additions list. I know its a conspiracy!

And we'll all have to download it *again*, further solidifying it's status at the top. I'm with you, T-Man.

Perhaps there should be a "don't announce this update on the newest additions" checkbox on the update form. I'd kinda like to update a few attributes on "Docking Station", but I only put it up a few days ago, so it'd look like I was just trying to get more downloads.

Just for the record, I did do a new Liquid 2 skin and it was a pretty radical update to it. Menus, combo boxes, everything and fixed some graphical glitches. I am not sure why it didn't work. My inclination is that the update feature here barfed or something.

Okay, I reuploaded it, and just downloaded it, it is definitely the latest version. All parts of the GUI should be skinned with this.

Just downloaded and tried it. The only thing that doesn't appear to be skinned is the combo box's drop down button. Not sure if its supposed to be skinned or not.
