Thanks. I submitted the ticket a couple of days ago. Here's question: https://forums.stardock.com/311908

No help from support. How long does it take to get an answer?

Okay, I have these gigantic caption buttons. Where do I change the size of these? If I change them in Windows, they just get reverted back each time I save my skin. Hopefully this is a really easy one. I swear, I've looked and looked!

Hi Cobra... when you get a chance... please check your PM. Thanks a million!

^Bump^

Yeah Cobra, I realized that the button face color changed those menus. I just couldnt figure out which one was responsible for the white borders. Thanks for explaining. Maybe, there's a button face border color or something...

Thanks for responding you guys.. Specifically, its the white borderlines in the menus... not to be confused with the standard popup menus you see in Explorer/My computer or Notepad.... these are menus you would see in Firefox for example or Skype. I'm just not sure where in SKS I can change this. [quote]menu item button (if you mean the seperator lines ) in pop up menus.....[/quote]

I have one more color to find. It's for legacy drop down menu borders. Where in Skinstudio do I chang that white color? [img]http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h283/mkanet/Screenshot-0230.jpg[/img]

That was the first thing I tried before posting. It's already "not" checked and set as: Hide the user picture=disabled. [quote]open the skin in SkinStudio6 go to Edit Start Menu and task Bar > Edit Start menu > Extra settings (tab) > scroll down to 'Hide user Picture" and uncheck the box. Save and apply.[/quote]

When will there a way to just download the actual setup directly (just like the full release)? I think it might be time to start testing 6.1 release candidates as if they are the full releases. At this stage, they need to be just like the one intended to be on the main Stardock website. Impulse seems like it's intended to have standard Microsoft Windows Stardock app install/uninstall/upgrade process on training wheels ;)

I'm been using this skin I really like. Unfortunately, the Vista User Icon from the Start menu was removed. I would like to put one back that's exactly like Vista's in the easiest way possible. It would be great if there just was an "ON" switch :). Anyway, I have no idea. Could someone please tell me how to do this? I tried looking at other skins to see if I could figure out what was different, but got completely lost. Thanks so much in advance,

Corbra... you have a PM!

Actually the best way to upgrade is to: 1) Uninstall version 6.0. 2) Reboot 3) Run Stardock's clean software removal utility: http://sd.stardock.com/mike/apps/odnt_zapper.exe 4) Download the setup installed for version 6.1 5) Reboot. I dont think the uninstalling an old version vis SDC removes the existing version cleanly; and leaves junk behind. It's a good idea to not leave any traces of an old version when installing a new version so the new version doesn't

Neil (or anyone) I realize this thread focuses on stability mainly; but I would really like to know if any of the limitations below have been addressed: https://forums.stardock.com/310458 Thanks! Michael

Yeah, also noticed this problem too, in Outlook 2007. You can see the various items WB's doesnt skin below. I'm hopeful that with version 6.1, they will fix at least some of those problems. https://forums.stardock.com/310458

Hey vStyler, I found "button face" color. Thanks :) I am hopeful I might be able to change #2.

Sorry, I didnt see your post nor anyone else's until significantly later; which might have appeared I ignored your post and kept looking for answers. It appears the forum has had some problems lately with updating thread posts timely and appears to post them in "spurts". So far, 1 and 3 have been confirmed as they can't be changed. I'm not sure which specific section in SKS to change #6 (button face color); nor, the pink color... hence, why I started this thread. Hopefully, t

There's nothing hard about modifying these attributes (from software engineering/reverse-engineering standpoint); at least the non-office components. I am just hoping that SKS already supports this; at least for a few of the items. I am hoping someone can confirm that NONE of these items can be changed currently in SKS. To find out more about how to change these resources for Vista Aero, visit the below link. It includes how to change many of the items shown above in the PDF file;

I welcome any help. ..and still waiting for anyone with answers. What I'm asking doesnt require any specific skin; just general knowledge of SKS. [quote]Hmmm . .SGT offers to help . .and you are . . curt.Perhaps not the best choice. [/quote]

Don't everyone answer at once ;)

You can use any WBA for this. Those components are all part of Windows Vista.... and a couple from Outlook 2007. [quote]If you will send me the wba file I'll load it here and explore the uis and sss files to find what it is you are looking for. I try to use a comparison of things to find what it is and will give you a detailed location. WWW LinkSGT[/quote]

I'm sure one day SKS will evolve to where a you can right-click any OS GUI component in a virtual desktop and change it's properties. But until then, I guess we need to dig around through the menus and submenus to find where to change these properties for each respective GUI component. Anyway... can someone please tell me where to change the light/white colors pointed out in the picture below? I've been able to change every aspect of the Vista GUI except for the following. BTW, I

Thanks cobra! BTW, I dont want you to get the wrong idea, I'm actually a senior network engineer supporting enterprise network OS's and respective hardware for over 18 years; and, extremely technical. Unfortunately, I've just never had the motivation to learn how to use paint programs... but with SKS, it looks like I'll need to be. I just started using pbrush.exe and Paint.NET about a week ago when I bought SKS. BTW, your background is perfect! I didn't notice any imperfections even
