I will not purchase Skin Studio. It's not about the money - it's about the time that I do not have to fiddle around with this stuff. So I tried tip 2. That one is interesting: - Other than the Settings claim, the startmenu stays unaffected. So I now have the Diamond taskbar, but still the Ares startmenu (perfect for me, I am not complaining!). - But there is something terribly wrong: All Quick Links Icons and the normal program button text of the currently focused wind

Hello, I have used several skins so far. At this time I use Ares by Mike Bryant. Like it a lot, except for the task bar which looks ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! How that you might ask? Simple! I use two monitors 1920 x 1200. And because of that I have my taskbar not at the bottom, but at the right side - vertically. About 5 cm wide. With added Quick Links icons, so I don't have to have any icons on my desktop. Perfect solution. The problem is that most (all?) skins are no

I overlooked this one for a long time too. In 'Colours' on the right side, middle, it says 'Change system colours'. Note that you quickly loose all your new settings if you are not careful. Note also that when you used the option to globally enrichen the colours, all colours set up here will look differently on the skin. Or in other words: the dialog is not affected by the option, making it nearly impossible then to choose the correct/desired colour.

Small correction: the numbers I gave are a bit too high. I was fooled by the on/off test with the tray icon. If you do this then the active window looses the focus, so... Otherwise: Unbelievable, and already from 2002. How comes I never heared of this one before?

Well, I can't believe this is true - yes, exactly what I wanted to have! Guys, you really should try this one. I use Elegance with these Settings: Active Windows: Left/Right 25, Bottom 30, Depth 180. Temp turn off when moving. Inactive Window: Left/Right 13, Bottom 16, Depth 180. Offset 2 for both. If you change the offset to 0 the windows get a very small left/right border, tranparent (!), which also looks nice. You can easily see the difference between Elegan

[quote]For that skin, the focused window is the one that has the blue/grey color around the min/max/close glyphs.[/quote] IMHO this indication is much too 'small' and therefore not sufficient. [quote] I don't think the shadow intensity changes for a focused window versus a non-focused window. In the screenshot, they look the same.[/quote] You are right, at least with Elegance (did not check others). So what I would like is even more complicated - or even impossible? To

Now that is disappointing! You mean I have to edit the border frame graphics somehow to change the amount of shadow? Well, I will not waste my time doing this. Waste, because I am not experienced with this and don't have the time and nerve to learn it. Somebody that wants to change 'Elegance' to a shadow that looks like the well-known photoshop effect in all the magazines out there? (And remove that green taskbar notifier button...how crazy is that? It ruins the whole skin somewhow...)<

Hello, I am registered WB 6 user. The main reason for me to buy this software was the window frame shadow effect. My problem is that the shadow is much too small/light/unnoticeable on many skins, and even on the better ones far away from what I would like to have. My question: how can I change that? I checked all settings in WB, I donwloaded the Skin studio and looked around...and did not find a single control/information/way to change the magnitude of the sha
