Getting white text on Task Bar in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I am using Pro Plastik v2, and text on my Task Bar shows white. I looked at the classic skinning for the Task Bar in SkinStudio Pro, but there is nothing to make white text on Task Bar buttons. I am using WB4.6 on Win 2K SP4. How can I get some other color on the Task Bar buttons?

Windowblinds menu skinning not extending to Right Click in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I configured Right Click to get it's menu skinning of WindowBlinds. I am getting a gray background with hard to read white text. My windowBlinds skin has no such menu skin in it. What do I need to change in WindowBlinds to get it's menu skinning to extend to Right Click? Other WindowBlinds skins I have do extend their menu skin to Right Click. I am modifying Pro Plastik v2 and it's menus skinning do not seem to work with Right Click.

Will WB5 ever be Win2000 compatible? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I am wondering if WindowBlinds 5 will be compatible with windows 2000 when the final version ships or a Release Candidate becomes available. Any plans to support win2K? I cannot upgrade because win2K is a company standard.

Reply to WB 4.60.48 not showing Menubar text colors right on Win2K in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I upgraded to the latest drivers (Sept 30, 2005) from Intel and I still have beige menu bars with white text on them, even thogh SkinStudio shows me that the text is supposed to be black. Any ideas of what I can do next? There must be something I can do within SkinStudio to get the correct color showing when WB loads the skin.

Reply to WB 4.60.48 not showing Menubar text colors right on Win2K in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Not yet, I will try that but everything else works fine, just the menubar text color comming from a weird place. Of all the colors WB handles, the menubar color is the only one that I cannot account for. I have had this problem before on completely different machines and there was something I did that I cannot remember for the life of me that fixed the problem back then. I usually change the colors of skins that I like to blue(ish), and importing colors from another skin at times cau

WB 4.60.48 not showing Menubar text colors right on Win2K in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

When I look at certain skins like KOL's VistaXP and others that use a beige menu bar using SkinStudio (latest version and older ones), I see dark color font on the Menubar. Yet WB will show a white font on the Menubar that I cannot see on the beige background. Is there something I can do to make WB use the font color that the skin is using? Where is WB getting that white color from?

Reply to WB5 Crashes on Win2K SP4 in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Thank you for the clarification. I read the history that came with the file on Stardock Central, but there was not mention of Win2K not supported. I will wait until I see some news about Win2K Support. Thanks again.

Reply to WinFx prevents Visual Studio .NET from Launching in WindowFX Stardock Forums

Currently I am running WinFx 2.20c[b].003, but the problem also happened in the previous version. The OS definitely has something to do with it, I have used WinFx before under WinXP with no problems. No 3rd party addons to VS are installed, only MSDN Library help files. Also, the OS was installed fresh from the corporate image and VS ran fine, untill I installed WinFx.

WinFx prevents Visual Studio .NET from Launching in WindowFX Stardock Forums

I noticed that while WinFx is loaded, MS Visual Studio .NET 2003 generates an "Unknown Error" exception when it's launching. I keep having to unload WinFx for Visual Studio .NET 2003 to launch. After Visual Studio is running, WinFx can be loaded and I get no more problems with Visual Studio. We reimaged the PC and Visual Studio was launching fine, until I installed WinFx (lates version), then the "Unknown Error" dialog came back when I launch

Reply to ObjectDock 0.99 released in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

This version of OD is amazing, thank you for the nice features and improvements. Only 2 things left to make this program perfect. The program somethimes looses it's Z-order and other programs will show on top of it even though it is configured to be "Always-On Top". The program does not detect the command prompt being launched, although it will detect the command prompt being closed. But even with these issues, OD really helps out with my productivity and need for eye candy in my daily work. Tha
