XP Pro Disk Defrag System Buttons Do Not Appear

Friday, June 24, 2005 by jeffreyw | Discussion: SkinStudio

System buttons do not appear in the Disk Defragmenter Window when using a skin I have created. I have no problem with the buttons when I use other skins. Default system buttons do not appear in the Disk Defragmenter window when using my skin.

The buttons I have created appear properly if I import them in other skins (using the same Windows Blinds settings).

The problem occurs on another computer using this skin.

I’m running XP Pro on both computers and both systems have an Nvidia graphics card. I have the latest versions of Skin Studio Pro and Windows Blinds installed.

Assistance with this problem is greatly appreciated.

Your system buttons appear in other places? But not in Disk Defrag, only?

Are you using BMP, or TGA for your buttons?

If you're using BMP, be sure "Translucency" is NOT checked in SkS. This tends to cause BMP files to 'disappear' when applied to a skin.

Sorry for the delay in the response.

The problem occurs in the Defrag window only. The system buttons apper correctly in all other windows (Including IE windows.

The buttons are .BMPs and appear correctly in the defrag window when applied to other skins. I suspect there is an incorrect setting somewhere in the skin I'm developing but the problem isn't obvious. The system buttons don't appear in the defrag window even if I use the default buttons.

I have verified that transparency is off. (I even tried turning transparency on in a failed attempt to correct the problem.)
