Where can I get RightClick skins?
Tuesday, September 20, 2005 by ~Angelic DestinE | Discussion: Object Desktop
Lots of times I like to use different RightClick skins from the current WindowBlind I'm running, in particular due to recoloring factors (and the menus for RightClick don't adjust to the hue slider).
Aside from manually porting RightClick menus from other WindowBlinds and changing the folder's name from CurrentSkin to the name of the blind so I can save it for future use... is there somewhere I can download some more premade RightClick menus? I've looked here, at Skinbase.org and DA and can't seem to find them.

Fairyy~

Angel, have you tried skinning one yourself ? A lot of older blinds the Right Click looks horrible. Sometimes it has a two-tone shading right down the center and its too hard to read. If you go into the Right Click folder to the skin repository...find the blind ..right click, copy
Then go paste in the " skin" folder of the Right Click..rename it.
Now..just reskin the pop up menu. Its pretty easy to recolor or even skin with a bmp. The hightlight item gets a bit tricky but, it can be done. I've made quite a few of them..if you use the hue slider to recolor a WB..it doesnt change the color of the Right Click. So this works well for a quickie match up.

Yeah I've done that before but sometimes they don't come out right (creating them myself). I don't mind porting them from WBs for personal use, but would be easier if there were a place to download premade ones. In the meantime I'll just create my own collection from different WBs and select simple-looking ones.

On topic...I've seen a section for them on Skinartistry, however, so far there's only one skin.
