What are Shell Styles in WB?

April 18, 2004 11:12 AM from

I can't find a good description or example. Somebody was asking about shell styles support in one of my skins.

A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Shellstyles are the pictures that are displayed in the bottom right-hand corner of a window when you are looking at a folder with music/video/picture files, as well as when you are in the control panel as well as searching for files.

Look at the two windows on the right in this screenie: http://skins4.wincustomize.com/BoXXi/guio2004/codenameWBSS.jpg

Open a skin in SkinStudio. In the Explorer tree view, look for XP Shell. Everything listed under that heading is part of the ShellStyles. This includes the Logoff/Shutdown/Please Wait dialogs, the Task Panes on the left side of windows as well as the Special Folder.

Ok, that clears it up. Thank you. It looks like the special folder glyphs are all that I had left out...albeit intentionally.
