Question for any skinner wiz
StartPanel Setting
Tuesday, May 24, 2005 by WebGizmos | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm guessing that my question is about the StartPanel part of the skin. It's the section at the top next to where your name appears.
Ok...the question is...is there a way to move the name over to the right a little rather than it being jammed up against the left side? The reason I ask is because on some skins the name overlaps the graphic causing it to look a bit sloppy.

Hus....This was all I could see under the StartPanel UserPane in the XPStuff settings.
[StartPanel.UserPane]
Image=task-toppannel.bmp
LeftWidth=55
RightWidth=127
TopHeight=0
BottomHeight=64
TextColour=1
TextFont=12
ContentLeft=11
ContentRight=51
ContentTop=0
ContentBottom=1
Trans=1
NormalColour=1
NormalFont=12
TextVertAlignNormal=1 <-This was the closest thing I could see regarding what you were talking about.
And I didn't see anywhere in SkinStudio where I could make any changes under that setting.

Web Gizmos...Here is what I did. Just go to control panel then user accounts and then just put spaces in front of your name...worked for me anyway

I'm sorry Phoon...but when I read that..."move it down some"...and then saw the code you wrote...well...all I can say is I must need some sleep or something.

I tried that Tapper...didn't work. Did you have to reboot for it to work maybe?

GADS!!! I had to read it 3 times or more before I caught my spelling error!!
Can't stop giggling myself over that one..
In any case... neither snippet of correctly spelled code works either.

Would be nice if I could just delete the name completely.
That was a good one Phoon! Every time I look at it now I start laughing.

Here is a similar article...
https://www.wincustomize.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=36&AID=74883
Also note, you can use a negative value for the horizontal shift.
Try this...
TextHorzShiftNormal=-355
Worked like a charm for me after I whacked the ol "Save" command dialog.

Phoon...if you look at #3 post...thats what I see in the XPStuff file within the WB file listed under StartPanel User...I haven't been able to find the setting you and Hus posted. I'll have to go browse around again in SkinStudio and see if I can find it.
Tapper...No problem bud...it's the thought that counts. I tried it again but it was still a no go...would be nice if it worked for me as well, would make life a lot easier.
UusinRumba...looks like "Beacon" WindowbBlinds...but I could be wrong.

I'll try not to speak with potty mouth here..
You have to add it WebGizmos. In preview mode, go to the XP Taskbar Section and click on the User Pane (top).
Now then, click on the Code tab. In the [StartPanel.UserPane] section add the code at the bottom of the section.
NormalColour=1
NormalFont=1
TextHorzAlignNormal=0
TextVertAlignNormal=1
TextVertShiftNormal=10 <---- To adjust in a vertical manner
TextHorzShiftNormal=-355 <---- (negative value this large will hide the text)
HideUserPicture=1 <----- self explanatory
After you have done that, click File, Save.. then apply the skin.

That explains it.
Thanks Phoon!

did you save the file then re-apply it? I tried it on a couple of themes and it worked for me.
Try emailing the section of code, or email me the modified blind. My address is in my profile.
