Adding a Screensaver button to a skin
Sunday, April 25, 2004 by TN Brat! | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi, I was wondering if there would be an easy way to add the "Start Screensaver" button to any skin?
I have the Windowblinds Be My Valentine https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=1&SkinID=3899 by Keila and I love it, but I just downloaded CP15 4WB https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=1&SkinID=4103 by pinchecl and It''s awesome...but my favorite feature of the Be My Valentine is the Button on the top that lets me start my Screensaver with one click..
Help, Please.
I have the entire Object Desktop Suite (paid) in case you can tell me whick program to do it with and how..
Thank you,
TNBrat!

The simplest way to do this would be to make a button do double duty with shift+click or ctrl+click. That way you don''t lose any of the original functionality of the skin and you don''t need to add another button. Try to pick a button that is always visible and that you will remember, like the minimize button.
As Pixel Pirate suggested, Edit the skin in Skin Studio. In the left tree pane under Window Borders>Titlebar Buttons click on the button to which you want to add the feature. In the right tree pane, you''ll see a section called Actions. You may need to expand this by clicking on the + sign. Highlight the "Action on Shift-Click" or "Action on Ctrl-Click" line. In the bottom pane you''ll see a combo box labelled "Value". It will normally be blank. Click on the Drop-down list arrow to the right. Scroll down and Select the value "Start Screensaver." That''s it. Save the skin and exit.
You could also do this by adding a button to the skin, but that gets a bit more complicated, and I''m not sure if you want to do this or what your skills are.
[Grrrrrrrr... these weird messageboard coding bugs are getting to be a real pain. I hate editing!]
