Duplicate items in the "My Toolbars" section

Thursday, March 31, 2005 by Hapkido | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I'm wondering why I see several duplicate Toolbar icon sets in the "My Toolbars" section of WindowBlinds 4.5en? There are at least 4 sets that are duplicated. Is this normal? If not, how do I get rid of the duplicates?

THANKS

I see a lot of skins that have bogus toolbar icons, so you end up with a lot of 'default' sets. They can be easily cleaned up with SkinStudio.
I'll put together a mini-tutorial on how I do it.

Slight delay on the tute...... we had a thunderstorm roll in last night, and lost power just as I was starting to put the thing together. This being Friday, I probably won't have a chance to do much about it today. I should have it done before the weekend is over though.

More delay..... I had no idea I'd be so busy over the weekend, and even though I attempted to get started a couple of times, I've got nothing done.
But don't give up on me, I'll get this done as soon as possible.

Do you know the reason to why this happends? From what I gather it got to do with the skins?

These will be toolbar icons for skins that have subskins, even if using same toolbar icons or animations, they will be associated with each skin and sub when created with SkinStudio, so will show up for each in WB config.

Cavan1...good point. As I was trying to find a couple of skins with bogus toolbar icons (I don't keep many skins), I found one that appeared to add 3 default sets, with no icons showing in the preview. On closer investigation, the sets are real, but they're white. Against the white background of the dialog, it looks like an empty set. To further confuse things, the author never filled in the info for toolbar skin name, and author, so it reads "Default Shell Toolbar Glyphs by Microsoft Design Team"
So now knowing these are real sets (one for the main skin, and 2 for the sub skins) I'm stumped as to how one gets rid of the duplicates in this case.
All this time, I have been thinking of the toolbar sets that aren't real sets, and how to explain how to remove those. (easier done than explained, I'm leaning )

Developer thomassen - you are right that it has to do with the skins. When you create the skin with toolbar icons or animations you need to edit the author details etc in SkinStudio. It is quite easy to overlook.
