WindowBlinds Code

Wednesday, September 14, 2005 by Nocen Intus | Discussion: SkinStudio Help

You know how you can code pieces of your skin for WindowBlinds from SkinStudio? (i.e.
[Taskbar.StartButton]
Image=Windows XP style\metallicTaskBarStartButtonEx.bmp
Trans=1)

Well, is there a page with all the codes listed on there?

In the bad old days of 'skinning by notepad', before SkinStudio was around, there was a 'list' of sorts.....but it'd be next to useless with the modern WB proggy...

Most skins are coded in UIS2 format. There is also a type called UIS1, which is less common. Any list that you might find from back then is going to be waaaay outdated and essentially useless today. For instance, there was no skinned taskbar or start menu in those days. Many of the elements in today's WindowBlinds skins didn't exist back then.

The easiest thing to do is use SkinStudio to figure them out. Toggle SkinStudio into code view to see the code behind the section you're looking at.
