Is this possible?

Monday, October 14, 2002 by Aqua. | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I would like to put the system buttons down the side of the frames instead of in the title bar. Is this possible? Also, would the buttons be hidden to people who have windowblinds set to not display the sides of the frames when maximized?

I intend to see for myself this evening, but I would appreciate it if someone already knows.

Also, is there a way of making window frames and the task bar partially transparent?

I know this is possible because I've seen skins with this setup. Unfortunately, I can't remember a single one Sorry.

Look for the skin Desert Rose, I think it has side buttons.

I'm mostly asking because most of the basic variations on a skin have been done a thousand times each, I want to try something different.

Have you tried a skin with side buttons? They look pretty cool, but I found them really annoying to use. You should try one first to see what I mean.
Does anyone know if you can have animated title buttons in WB? I have made some cool animated buttons for one of my skins, but I don't know if they can be used.
Any idea anyone?

I just loaded it up, but I dont think the buttons are animated, just mouseovers. I will rip it apart in skin studio and have a closer look. What a great skin though! I love the sounds too.
I am currently working on a skin that has an animated title bar, and that has been lots of fun!

Yeah, the personal icon is one of the perks of being an admin here. Alexandrie makes them for us when she has time.

WOW Koasati, that's a fabulous skin!! Aleksyander really knows how to put 'em together eh? Where can I see the rest of the suite?
This one may convince me that side buttons are O.K.!!

Thanx I'll be sure to see how they work before putting together my own.

BTW, is there any way of making stuff like the title bar partially transparent?
