Xp-like taskbar & Different logoff etc...

from WinCustomize Forums

I´ve noticed That the most problems If any Major seems 2 appear on Vista... For instance what´s the Regular taskbar height ? 30 -32-34 pxl ??

Logoff buttons Vertically stacked ? Size, How are they split And fitting together exactly how ? My next skin I´m starting from VISTA... We´ll see how that turns out. If you have input, feel free 2 advise ! :sun:

Skip Vista :)

 

 

Seriously: Vista logoff buttons need to be 53x24 each (318x24 in total with all 6 frames). To be precise, the canvas of each button should be that size.....you can make them any size within that limitation. I don't recommend stacked for that section. Here's an example:

30px should do nicely

Vista sucks in a big way when it comes to skinning it. It seems to be so limited in some areas that it can totally ruin a dark skins overall look. I skin it, but I rarely like how the skin turns out in the Vista substyle.

I'm weird...I still do XP with SKS5 and notepad++ first then port 'em to SKS7. Guess I'm just used to old school... ;)
