Need citicism for my WB theme (XP only)

June 13, 2008 12:45:03 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Hello community.

I'm working on a suite for different programs right now, and would like to hear your criticism for my
WindowBlinds theme. I think it is complete now (maybe some finetuning left).
It is a very simple design (but I like it that way) and (obviously) my first WB theme.
If you see some errors, would like to test it or just give me some feedback, that would be great.

I'm suggesting, from my own taste, I like having seperators at the taskbar, between the FireFox and C, you know. I dont know if it's possible on ur skin thought, I'm not expert in WB. But so far it looks great!

Hi kaazz1337.
Glad you like it.
If you mouseover the tabs, there is a kind of seperation. But for the normal state it should look like in the screenie.
I want something pure, clean and simple.

For all the kind folks, who are currently testing my skin:
I recognized a glitch on the Startmenu. It often disappears, if I open it and want to move over it. I don't know
what causes this. Maybe it has something to do with my "More Programs Background" image or the regarding settings.
There also seems to be no mouseover effect on this part. I can't remeber what I changed on that.
If you notice something similar and have a solution, it would be great ... you know.

If the glitch you are talking about is , when you mouseover the more programs it sorta flashes or flickers, like the image isn't loading right...I get that glitch all the time, on most skins. I dont think that it's something you've done.

This time I was not very clear on my description.
What you said is right.
But a few days ago, I changed the style of the Startmenu from transparent to solid.
Since then, the whole menu disappears very often when I get over it with the mouse.
That didn't happen before, and do not happen with other skins.
Maybe I really did something wrong with the more programs image or the margins.
I will continue searching an error.
