Windowblinds wishing list
Friday, August 30, 2002 by treetog | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I thought about openning this thread to be used as a direct line with windowblinds developers, for us to place here wour wishes, bug reports, etc...
So, let me make my number one wish.
When we use transparency on scroll bars, it allways have problems on IE and Outlook Express, showing a blank image on it's borders.
Is this just a bug or it will be allways like that? This is really anoying, because users thinks that it is a skin bug, when it is not.
Could you guys over Stardock fix that?

-Ghost scrollbar dragging like Mac OS 8/9. While dragging the scrollbar, it appears translucent, while an opaque image remains in its previous position on the scrollbar tray.
-Alpha-blended window borders, like Winamp3, for those of us that prefer eye-candy over performance. Probably wouldn't notice with good video drivers, right? This would make those round skins look sweet...
-Dialog bitmaps that don't tile improperly or have their tiling messed up by what's inside the window. Maybe have some kind of intelligent tiling that detects what's in the window and where, and tiles the image on every window item, based on that item's position. Eye-candy vs Performance, right? If performance is the issue, I'm sure it won't be for long with the speed hardware advances. Plus, people can always turn off a feature if they don't want it.
-Skinnable Tooltips! Nobody has noticed this?
-Skinnable BSOD? Just kidding.

This might be a strech and/or I may be stupid and this is already implemented but:
Ability to completely (ie startmenu in classic and xp mode, tooltips, icons, etc etc) skin the whole OS, to make it seem like another whole OS. No matter where I look in the Psudo-OS windowblinds area, I don't see something that's completely different. I would like this because: the only reason I use Windows is because I'm too lazy to DL something else and too lazy to learn Assembly/C/C++ to create my own OS (yeah right
) so WB is what I use instead. Er...yeah ok EOR (end of rant)
Please?

In Windowblinds' treeview [+/-] skinning, the dotted line connecting the subsections is missing. The ability to skin this would be nice.

I'm back. Another feature request:
The ability to specify what buttons are available on a scrollbar, and where. Such as: Both up and down arrows at the bottom, like many other OS's do. Or having up/down arrows at both ends of the scrollbar.

Another request:
Chunked progress bars with user-definable chunkiness. Ie: skinner can specify in his UIS file that there be a new chunk of progress displayed every 10 pixels... or 12 pixels...
