Trying to help a user with one of my blinds
Tuesday, September 28, 2004 by Ingui | Discussion: Stardock Software
Hi,
I received this email from someone who downloaded my Iocaste WB. I would like to help them out with an answer and also understand for myself what the problem is and how it might be fixed. But I am not entirely sure what the problem is and definately not sure WHY it is.
I am assuming "edonkey" is a chat app? Maybe it cant be fixed and "edonkey" simply needs to be excluded? Any help is appreciated.
"Hi there,
beautiful blue-gray skin I love it !!!!
I experienced a minor drawback wich consists in Iocaste failing to properly skin my P2P client main window when it is maximized. I miss the whole upper half window bar with the buttons , while , when I reduce the size of the window , it is correctly skinned. It seems that this application has its own "borders" that Iocaste can't trespass. Do you know a way to fix it? Will you produce a skin update?
I hope I managed to explain my problem cleary enough as English is not my language and I may lack in terms.
Anyway I thank you so much for your work ,your time,and I hope to hear from you soon, if you will be able to fix this problem!"
Ciao for now.
Jason

Thanks Snowman. I will try and find out if it only my skin that causes the prob or if it always happens. That would pretty much answer the question, right? 
Thanks again
Thanks again

eDonkey itself is somewhat skinnable, so that might be why WB skins don't work too well on it.

Edonkey is not a chat app - its a file'shareing' app.
What causes Edonkey to behave like this I dont know, but a temporary fix would be to exclude it from the WB config.
