help with my new startbutton

July 30, 2007 7:54:30 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

HI guys, havent posted here asking for help for ages!  (must be getting good huh? *wink wink, nudge, nudge*.....)

 

okay, i want my new start button to be round and be larger than the taskbar (so i have to do an overlay image for the startbutton..this i know...)  im currently studying quentins skin, olphi, with his round start button....thats the style i want.   BUT i cant see where he has put the overlay image for the startbutton??

So where does it go?.....

 

if anyone can help, that would be grand.........

This can also be done by putting a translucent area above the taskbar and taskbar button equal to the # of pixels from top of taskbar to top of start button.***Note*** set final height with content margins on taskbar button!Just another way!!

Just another way!!


Yep, and it will work: the only drawback of this method is that for those like myself that have a tabbed dock, docked on windows taskbar, when closed the tabs will be at the trans edge and not on taskbar thus leaving a gap. Also a maxed window will stop at the trans again leaving a gap. IMO/personal taste, not a good look.

On some skins even just having a trans sizing bar that is a few pixels high leaves enough of a gap to make dock just not look right when closed.

Where is this option "always show overlay ( enabled) "

I think that is my problem, i tried to edit a theme with a overlapping start button and after i edit anything and save the lose the top of the orb. I noticed that the top is a piece in the taskbar that is transparent. Is this what i need to do or am i missing something else? thanks
