Changing Title Bar fonts in SkinStudio.. continued

Sunday, April 17, 2005 by BobbyLoopa | Discussion: Stardock Support General

Ok, while designing a skin in skinstudio 4.4.0, I can't figure out how to change the font/color of my title bars, I know there is an easy answer from someone here, so thanks in advance.

On explorer tree, Window Borders,Title Bar text, Fonts and Fonts FX are subs of Title bar text. You may need to right click on explorer area,
select customize, check show all available selections, click ok. This will show everything in explorer tree.

2 new questions:

after applying (more sp errors?) my skin, and countless hours of testing/tweaking, I can not figure out a way to replace the "more programs" button, I am left with a little black triangle no matter what I try to do, even if I change the green triangle to something else. Solutions anyone?

Where can I fint the minimized-in-program bar+buttons to edit them? I only noticed this while in PSP 9, they are still standard fair, and I can't figure out on the menu tree in Skinstudio 4.4.0 where these files are located.

Once again, thanks for all the help in advance.

For minimized bar and buttons, make sure have show all available selected. It is Minimized Window Caption.
For more programs button, if you mean the arrow, if it is a .tga image transparent must be checked.
The way I replace an image is, click on preview image you want to replace, on right were image and settings come up
right click on image, import, browse file for. never have a problem this way.

You are a big help, thanks a million.

One more question (my last? probably not)
How do people animate their bars? (start, title, and the start menu)
Are these just animated gifs?

The animated bars and such are bitmaps, one of the animated ones by Boxxi, title bar is 460 x 2401, 49 frames 460 x 49 each. That is 49 title bars drawn one on top of on top of until 49. Each one just a little diferent. I am not sure of all the settings in SkinStudio for animations, there are a few.

Cavan1 - big help, need to list you in the credits for my next release of the skin. (Bluminium) Seriously, It would look like a big steamy pile of camal flop if not for you, not that it doesn't look like a SMALL steamy pile of camal flop in spite of you.

once again, thanks
