Cloud be that it was a beta. I'll let you know.

Good, I'll wait till you try it ..

Oh yeah... I wanted to know if anyone knows the author of the follower smx. I need to request permission to use two images for the smx.

What Sysmetrix you asking about ?

What did I do wrong?

Be easier if you mailed it to me - probably something very simple to fix .
Just zip the whole folder to email it..if you want.
AlwaysFairyy@aol.com

Thanks Fairyy...I'll do that.

If you did email it , I haven't recieved it yet , and I checked spam folder. Just didn't want you to think I didn't reply if you had sent it.

One in a while I've had to. Through trial and error because some background images weren't showing up or the smx was applying in pieces. Sometimes two thirds of the skin would be missing and at other times just a tiny corner. I still have one or two I haven't quite figured out yet. Azar was one because the background image's name did not match in the ini. That one works fine now. I'm just a little confused about writing the ini for mine. Fairyy...I just sent the zip to your e-mail. The first one I sent to aql.com by mistake. I don't think you'll get it although if you have a twin there she might. lol

Thanks Fairyy...Sometimes when looking at the way the ini files are set up I get a bit confused. It looks easy enough to do until you actually do it. Then it's another story
altogether. Oh yeah...forgot about the commands for the button toggles.(hits self upside the head).

It helped a great deal. I was so stupid about letting that get past me. Anyway...I'm going to do an update on it because the way the image is. It needs a bit more cleaning up. I will however use the same ini. Thanks again for your help.

Very soon...in the meantime sent another wall collection to the gallery. Check 'em out
Hopefully they'll be approved and everyone can get a good laugh. Ooops...damn doorjam.

Have the Rainlender that you want to edit on your desktop - Right click on Rainy and follow the screen shot below to " Edit Current Skin "





Honestly? Most think a Rainlender is no big deal to make. The truth is its a royal pain in the ass most days. Unless you just slap up a rainback and an ini file and let the Rainlender use its default settings ( which is far easier than making all the parts yourself IE: Buttons , ToDo Lists, Event lists. Items pngs etc)
A perfect rainlender - Bitmaps are made for all parts including fonts. Those can take days if not a week or longer - especially if you make substyles ( small mode, Horizontal mode etc )
Rainlender seems to be dying out at the momemt, I'm not sure if its the introduction of " Vista " or people are just using sidebars , widgets etc. Most of my Rainlenders are geared for " Women " so I never expect a lot of downloads. But, I'm at the point that I'm not sure I'll bother making anymore Rainlenders. Unless there is an influx of women suddenly joining Wincustomize..I'll just finish up the couple I have unfinished at the moment.

I'm not trying to discourage you - please continue to finish what you've started.
I'll be here to help if I can..

As for the " I can get all but the days to show " when you get to the " Edit current skin " click on the " Days " tab and make sure the little check box to enable days is ticked and make sure rasterizer is on Fonts not Bitmap.

Your welcome - I gather you found the " Edit current skin " ?
Hopefully Rainlender will stick around - as for my rainy list , thats not even 1/10th of them. I download most of the rainies cos I too enjoy seeing what others come up with..I'm not saying all my Rainies are strictly for women - some are just meant for anyone that likes a bit of whimsy - I've seen lots of my Rainies used in men's screen shots. Sounds like you've made progress and are home free now ....
