WindowBlinds Text Positioning

Thursday, January 29, 2004 by TunieV | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I've noticed that in many of my WindowBlinds that the User Name on the Start menu is often "out of position" depending on which blind I'v applied at any given time. Can anyone tell me which function in the Windblinds uis file changes this position? There's a lot of references to text alighment and positioning so I have no clue which one might adjust the position of the User Name on the Start menu. Sometimes it displays fine, sometimes it's way off, depending on the blind. I don't display user images at all. If this is something I have no right to alter, I understand.

open the skin in skinstudio, click on text and there should be some setings of it on the right side of your screen.
Select something like textalignment and right click on it so you can edit it.
Change them to anythink you like and that should fix it.
Feel free if you keep having problems

the username on the start menu is very limited to movement. It will normally sit as far left as possible. You can change the settings or create a fake user image. it is a picuture of the back of the user panel so it looks like there isn't a userpicture there.

Yes, that can be a problem. Different names seem to align differently depending on the number of characters in the name. The is especially true of any user name in a start menu that isn't aligned fully left. It is best to fix it with skin studio. The location is the Start Panel.User Pane. The section is the content margins. Good luck.

Thanks much to all for your replies. I haven't purchased Skin Studio yet so I'll try ChasUGC's suggestions first! Thanks again.
