i always wanted to know if there is a way to control the position of the searchbox in the starmenu...without changing the position of the explorer searchbox
(win7) Edit: keeping this open since i will have much more problems you guys might can help me with
Rolo you are going to have to change the jumplist background image. The text colors as I said follow the startpanel. I am aware that the jumplist section has a text setting tab, but that is totally useless.
As for the mouseover text on the left side, You need to look at the settings for the spartpanel left side and the left item mouseover text settings.
2of3 exuse me for asking again but as far as i understood now the color i used from the color defined for the starmenu right side will be used by the jumplist( jumplist )...
but it will only use a single color - ( normal ) and the mouseover will not be used ? 
or can it ?
Both the normal and mouseover text colors in the jumplist will follow the settings for the right side of the startpanel.
Correct
Yes, it follows the start menu, no, you do not have independent control.. of.... and the text section for the JL, doesn't work.
im remaking the background for jumplist now without any gold in it hopefully it will work then since now it just does not. Thanks again for the help
Don't stress too much RC, we all went thru all this as well at some point.
Skinning oneself into a corner, is a typical pitfall in WB.
Take notes, try not to make the same mistakes over and over.. like some people do did 
I wont stress with it no more for today i will sleep over it and try again tomorrow since i reached the point where iam unable to change the mouseover color for the startmenu be it places or proglist and honestly i have no freaking clue why, maybee thats why i dont get the mouseover color working on the jumplist ??? I dont know
will look into it tomorrow
Still thanks for the help and for the tipps 
Hello again 
today i have seen that you can minimize a window further than the normal explorer window -example skinstudio´s main window can be minimized to a tiny thingy (window) where for me everything gets cut off while the explorer cant get minimized that far and does still look okey without loosing shape.
so i thought remaking all parts to minimize my margin problem , so if someone try´s minimizing the window to its minimium he/she wont be unpleased with the skin.
So i remade every single frame but my concept still needs a little room but now it will also not work.
I now have the option removing everything an go for a naked gradient frame without any other graphics or ask if there is a value i can set via code so that the window cant get minimized over a certain size...
if so that would be very very 
The fallowing picture explains it better i think : Skinstudio minimized completely then explorer minimized to minimum and how it does look when the size is big enough for the explorer info pane to show.
I know that the margin values are the main problem on the Skinstudio minimized size but i dont want to give up on the concept
Some frame designs will just not allow for a perfect "roll up"
You need to decide whether it's important enough to compromise your design.
I want it to workon every part but i also want to hold on to the main idea... so the best next idea that pops into my rookie mind would be including
a substyle with naked gradient frames that wouldnt be that much of extra work and everyone could decied for theirself what they want that way i could at least show the original idea + they wont have to change it on their own.
But this is bugging me a lot since i have tested it only on the explorer window and just spottet this problem when i saved the wb.
Thanks 2of3 just wanted to check if a master has a trick for this problem up their sleeve 
Hello everybody !
this thread is about SKS errors, so let's go ! 
I've a recurrent problem with search/nav icons in explorer.
they are skinned and perfectly drawned on SKS preview, but don't apply in WB 7.2, and so for all skins I install, not only mine.
Did anyone notice the same issue and found the solution ?
thanks in advance.
NB: I use Windows 7 Home Premium
Have you closed and re opened the window? They never show up until the window is "reset"....this applies to the nav arrow background as well.
thx 2of3
I can do anything, they are never skinned. 
They appear correctly on SKS preview and WB config preview. Just don't apply in real...(explorer and control panel)
For nav arrows background, all is OK.
A problem with my WB version ?
here's the copy of WB config if it can help...

could be interesting to know if it works for those who dl my skins? I think so.
just looked at Abyss and the explorer navigation buttons are skinned as well as ie8 and control panel.
Thx my friend 
So the problem seems to be local... 
I could try to uninstall/reinstall WB to see if it changes anything...really don't know what else to do
