One Piece At A Time: Windowblind Tutorial Part V
Putting It Together : Taskbars
Monday, March 5, 2012 by PoSmedley | Discussion: WindowBlinds Tutorials

This thread will be dealing with the vertical and horizontal taskbar and all of it's components. I've had to do several redesigns to make the texture work and to accommodate the buttons. As far as the taskbars and buttons go, this should be the last (fingers crossed) redesign.

If I know you, I'm sure you meant WB Masters.

I'm around. I have been overly preoccupied with the same old 'stuff'' and trying to keep it together. As part of my 'pain management' they started me in with a head shrinker. I can't, for the life of me, imagine why. He has also been prodding me to get back into some things that I enjoy to help with some of the stress, etc., etc. Apparently, I am at a point where I am going to have to accept that I will only ever get a limited amount of relief, even with my implant, and must figure out how to accept and live with this. blah blah yadda yadda...
I'm always around though. Watching, reading, downloading, lurking. I'm on FB, too. My email is available. Some of you even have my phone #. I suck at getting the ball rolling, if you get my drift.
Thanks for posting Andy and the rest of you. I appreciate it greatly. ![]()

Hopefully the inspiration will come back soon. It appears most of the Masters have been on vacation for quite awhile now. The only real active one is Tom (lightstar). He has checked my last couple of WB's and found very little but the little he has found has helped me to improve further.
Need more of you Maters back as you were and still are the inspiration for me and others.
