I'm not surprised... it's a pretty basic shape. :p Though I've viewed pretty much everything made by Tom Richter, so maybe that's just an idea that stuck in the back of my brain. Diamonds are a bit of a running theme in this skin though.
So it's been a few years since I've messed around with SKS or WB. I did have a couple of themes up on here and my DevianArt page several years ago (don't go looking, they're not there...), but I dropped out of contact on this site for a [b]long[/b] time. At any rate, none of that is important. Here's a small bit of something I've been working on for the last couple of days. Still a lot of work to do on it. The current plan is to also release an IconPackager the

Yup! Way back when, I made a thread asking about the screwiness of the text colors and fonts in the Start Menu, and got some tips then. My start menu for this skin is pretty much 100% complete at this point. Just need to fix a transparency issue... but I think I can figure that one out on my own. :p Thanks though!

No it isn't as 'bad'...down-rating is childish AND vindictive, up-rating is only 'childish'... Re eliminating them altogether I've already mentioned WHY they are there.... Remember... The INTENT of User ratings is to assist in the General Population's/visitors
This is probably your best skin yet!
[quote who="DaveBax" reply="26" id="3479801"] Quoting Kevin_Walter, reply 25By the way... anyone know how to change the places list font? You change the Programs List using the Item mouseover/ text settings. If you use the Item mouseover in the Places list section you can change it there. Many times you don't need the item mouseover in the Places list so if you don't have one there it will be controlled by the Program list for both sides.[/quote] Ha! Tha
[quote who="DaveBax" reply="24" id="3479644"] I'm glad that Lightstar and Doortech1 came in here. I'm sure I must have been missing something and meant no harm with anything I said. Guess I learned how to make SKS work for me and others have made it work for them. Like Lightstar said. Could be redone better, but it is what it is and one learns how to work around things. Sure is better than having nothing and thankful to have SKS and other StarDock products.[/quote]</p
[quote who="vStyler" reply="105" id="3479606"] Thanks? I think? [/quote] Yeah. Lookin' good, man. Though that's no surprise, really. You should tell whoever owns that cup of coffee to use a coaster though. ;)

[quote who="LightStar" reply="19" id="3479529"] The main problem is SkinStudio and/or Windowblinds itself Kevin. There is evidently a fix needed to compensate when the user icon is turned off in SKS. In other words if that box is checked, then SKS/WB should automatically adjust everything as far as the the text margins go for it being turned off. Once again, just another one of the MANY fixes needed in the design of SKS and WB. I would recommend that you update to SKS8 and WB8 tho
[quote who="gmc2" reply="17" id="3479516"] Quoting Kevin_Walter, reply 16 It would seem to depend on the detail of the graphic and how the paint margins are set. If you compress a 100 pixel high graphic that has high detail down to 10 pixels it would seem you'd lose something. I'm not why you have to adjust the size in the extra settings for the individual graphics, I've never seen an explanation, but it seems that it is needed for the star
[quote who="DaveBax" reply="14" id="3479505"] Quoting Kevin_Walter, reply 13I should have been more clear... the 35+px doesn't just mean the top image itself, but can be a combination of the top image and the top text margin for the places lis Keven I would like to help but you are on another page from what needs to be done. Moving the text margin has nothing to do with changing margins for each part of the SM. It could be you need a different size for your MO image
[quote who="DaveBax" reply="12" id="3479489"] Quoting Kevin_Walter, reply 11 but I think there's an invisible "space" reserved for it. I could be wrong... but that's the only thing that could be causing the issue I've found. No there isn't any invisible space Kevin. Must be something else. Without see the Wb I'm not at the guessing point. cropping the top part of the start menu image to be 10px, and then set the height to

I had to switch to another settings tab to "apply"... just closing and then going back to my profile settings seemed to remove the images I uploaded. So try switching to the "Profile" tab and clicking Apply Changes... then it should work.
[quote who="doortech1" reply="9" id="3479460"] Okay, I will give you time to see my last post, but in the meantime, you state you tried some things with Dave's skin. I have to say by what I read you are not understanding things correctly. If you just change the size of an image through sks, without changing the image , it will always be messed up. You would have to re-cut the start menu and make the top image to that size, then set it in sks.
[quote who="doortech1" reply="7" id="3479456"] Well, I am not sure where you are at, see lots of help came while I went absent on you. So as stated by Dave Baxter above, the woodgrain or whatever it is was added to the skin, so now, part of the skin unless removed manually. Also, on that note, to adjust the user pic location, you use the text settings for the top part, and I wonder since some parts have been changed, if you checked those settings.
[quote who="DaveBax" reply="4" id="3479443"] If you are adjusting the Painting Margins as you say Top Margin don't do this to try and adjust the text wither on the Left hand side or right side. Once you have your SM painting settings lined up so it looks good that is all there is to it and leave it alone. To adjust the text only do this. On the left had side Program list and Right hand side Places list go to the text settings and adjust any of those numbers you need to so
Well, I decided to see if any other skins had this problem. All of the default skins with WB8 seem to have the user icon showing, so I opened up Danillo's Corporate skin in SKS and hid the user icon on the start menu, and then adjusted the margin to bring the text closer to the top. Same issue. Most of the button is not clickable, and the hover image is hidden except for the part that is. So... is it a WindowBlinds issue then, or something that I could still fix? Maybe it&

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="1" id="3479203"] Here's another idea...forget the ratings, forget the downloads. Skin for yourself and be your own harshest critic.[/quote] But when I do that, I get absolutely nothing done...
Yeah, I have SKS. That's part of a skin I'm developing. I'm using WB7, SKS7, and running Windows 7. [e digicons]O:)[/e] And yes, it is the remnants of a mouseover image. Though it's the default Diamond image, as I haven't replaced it yet. I have the start menu profile pic hidden, and I've reduced the top margin for the places list text so that the text will be displayed closer to the top of the menu, rather than looking funky by being
Is there a way to fix this? I'm assuming it's caused by the profile image being hidden, but the space for it still being reserved. [img]http://i.imgur.com/5F6q6wh.jpg[/img]
