Making a Preview for Windows Blinds

April 23, 2009 2:12:09 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I've created a skin with SKS6, but can't figure out how to get WB to show the small preview of the titlebar above the skins name. I'm assuming it's in the Skin Properties/UIS1 Preview Image? If this is correct, do you just type a name for the preview? A path to the preview? I've tried both and neither works.

TIA, slarja

the titlebar preview will only show up if you have skinned the UIS2 windows (non per pixel frames). Once skinned the preview will show up automatically. You don't need to add the image manually

and the per pixel frame caption needs to be a bitmap image.

Perhaps you mean the non per pixel (UIS2) caption?

Not sure about Vista as still using XP, for XP the UIS2 frames must always be done as they are used for MDI windows.

I just opened whteazure in sks and see that you've used a .tga for the UIS2 frames. They need to be .bmp

Yes in vista too, for example photoshop cs3 uses uis2 (cs4 no), so i make first per pixel frames and after i make uis2 because some programs uses these type of windows....and always the preview in my skin don't work

@2of3

Ah, the problem is the tga? Now i've understand, thanks

Yup...that's what I meant.  I wasn't really on the ball yesterday...sleeping pill hangover all day.
