HELP ME, PLEASE!!
Wednesday, March 17, 2004 by Annejillian | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
This is driving me nuts!!! For some reason, on the skin I am bulding, I apply, and I can not see the folder views- it reverts my folders to windows classic- and will not let me use the folder options, show common tasks options. I change back to another theme- and voila- folders are perfect again. I have compared codes- but I don't see any triggers or differences that are causing this....any ideas? Please? Thanks for the help- I really appreciate this forum!! ~Anne

Not sure what you mean, can you post a screenie? just go to edit account and upload it as your current desktop.

I can't do that till after work- but what I mean is when you open a folder- like my documents- there is a bsr on the side giving you other options- and details...there is also a pic in the corner- these are not visible fopr me...hope this explains- but I will do the screenshot later if needed. Thanks! ~A

OK- here- http://www.guiolympics.com/preview2.asp?source=http://skins.stardock.com/BoXXi/guio2004/decodistrictWBSS2.jpg This is a preview of Boxxi's latest entry in the GUI... see the upper left- my computer file? See the bar on the side that says system tasks, etc? Mine is gone with the skin I am editing. Change skins, it reappears. Won't let me go to tools/folder options/view similar tasks in same window option- just doesn't change anything. Hope this explains it! ~A

I think what you are talking about your settings for the shell style pane arrows. If you are usings tga's, then make sure you have translucency checked for all 8 states. If they are bmp's, uncheck translucency for all 8 states

Also, if using tga's, then make sure they are saved as 32 bit (including the alpha channel) or else WB and SkinStudio doesn't like them (and things just "vanish")
