ShellStyles?

Saturday, August 2, 2003 by zBlacky | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Sorry if this sounds ignorant,

..But is ShellStyles a seperate app that I need other than Windowsblinds?I'm downloading skins and checking them out and the task bar on the bottom right is always the same.I'm using windowsblinds 3.5.

For example...I'm using the Avenger skin right now and the bottom right corner of my taskbar on my desktop is not black like in the preview picture.

I'm running Win2k by the way too..

In order to display the XP type taskbar and start menu on Win2k, you need to use Objectbar.

Open your Objectbar\WindowsXP directory in Explorer. Doubleclick "Use WindowBlinds Skin.obtheme" This will import the skin into ObjectBar.

BTW, You can't see the folder panes (left portion of the folder) in 2k. That option is only available in XP and with WindowBlinds 4.0.

OK....I messed with Objectbar and now I see what you mean.I don't like the XP start menu,so I guess I'm screwed on that one.O well..Guess I'm gonna have to figure out how to get WindowBlinds 4.0 to work on my 2000 mchine.

Shells Styles are a WindowsXP feature. If you're using Win2k you won't see the extra goodies. Those features are built into WB4.0 and WinXP only.
