Longhorn Skin Merge

Tuesday, August 30, 2005 by Dirx Conn | Discussion: WindowBlinds

could Anyone Merge Kol_'s Longhorn 5203 WB Link and Voodoo_FreaK's Longhorn Slate 4051 Link

the Main thing I want is the Start Menu and the like (The Task Bar...I think) from Kol_'s Longhorn, and the Look from Voodoo_FreaK's Longhorn.
Voodoo_FreaK's Longhorn is nice IMO, But the file, edit, View etc Text can't be clearly seen.

This is more or less, becouse i like Diffrent Parts, of both skins, I am hopeless at making skins my self. So could someone make this for me?

Many people would be able to merge the two skins together, they would need permission from both authors to be able to give it to you.

I don't mind, I would rather them Get Premission (rather then Just Grab the skins and start hacking away)
But that is why i posted, I can't do it, so could someone else?

In User Overides there is an option titled as "Always use the XP taskbar defind in" ... scroll down the list and select the skin you want ... !!!!

Sorry I haven´t skinned with WB yet myself. In 1 week i learned to create 4 autohiding bars all around the screen including task bar and system tray, a nicer clock with an old public version of objectbar. Their new plus version is displayed in an awesome 21 minute, 57 MB video. It was feasible with the old version, I managed to skin those bars to look like a jungle with skin studio public those days.

If I had a permit and time, I would combine the skin with the looks you like with my own object bars I would reskin with skin studio. Then I would, for a starter, only learn how to change the start menu with WB, which should not take that long in opposite to creating an entire new skin. If you dont upload it, maybe you can alter the skin for your private use. I had to reskin all 60 beatnik skins to german 24hour settings and the seconds I love and need. Learned that in a week. Just cant upload without permit, who cares; my bars were full of nothing but my own icons and shortcuts anyway. If no one replies here within the next 14 days, try posting under the message board of http://www.skinbase.org

for which you might register free to make your post.

Most skinners around there are friendly and helpful, too.
