Start button label

Friday, July 19, 2024 by aceuk007 | Discussion: Skinning

Hi I'm having a problem removing the label(think thats what it's called) around the start button. In the picture it's the silver square ,the black is the start button. The start button is a Hotspot. Not sure if they always are. It is detached from the taskbar which is hidden

.

I should add that I have achieved this in one theme but in a copy of the same theme I can't do it .Not sure how I did it.

I have compared the .wst file between the two (all 513 lines) trying to spot the difference but there was none, unless I missed it.

Assuming you have access to and know how to use Adobe Ps, here's how to do it.

Start buttons are .png images, so you don't have to select. You'll have to experiment a bit in assigning the value for the number of pixels to defringe. Here's a great teacher, Colin Smith showing the "how to's" using three methods.

Defringinging has to do with image manipulation only...you can then use the resultant image depending on size limitations by the program you're using the image in.

I would suggest you pm Picco14 with your question since he skins Winstep.
