WB Beta 7 or WB 3 Final Observations or Issues, Maybe feature Req's: (?)
Friday, September 28, 2001 by CygnusXII | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I know this is odd, but after installing WB B7 or WB Final 3, whatever it's incarnation, I am noticing, that the contrast on the monitor, is different than, the previous version (2.20 I think.) Also One think to take into consideration is that, it seems to be integrated, the same as the regular XP themes, and in this feature, nice but when changing the themes, from MS based to my Standard WB Chosen themes, the Fonts for each windometric feature is reset to a MS default. You guessed it, I am one of those Comic Sans for everything freaks. This is kind of annoying to have to reset my font selections after each, Skin Change. What about it Brad, is this being remedied, or was it Even Noticed ??? Just Curious, maybe it's just me. Looks good sofar, though. Keep up the good work.

Not exactly sure what the above means... But I have noticed in WB3 that the "Make desktop icon text backgrounds transparent" doesn't seem to function properly in 98SE. Outside of that I can only say outstanding, especially access through display properties!

I noticed that also, and when initially used, WB reset my choice for using clear type, and drop shadows under fonts.

Also, the quick launch bar will no longer skin with WB3. I tried several different skins...no dice. I have my task bar at the bottom of the screen and the quick launch bar at the top (i.e. not docked on the task bar).

The only thing I ask is bring back sorting skins by name, author, and date. I just installed a skin and it took me forever to find it withing my +900 skins. I know you probably have to code it differently since it is now in the properties window but it would be cool to see it again.

We'll have to look into it. Still have a month of beta testing.
