Heavy Equipment WB problem

October 28, 2001 8:15:50 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
It seems that there's a problem with Heavy Equipment skin with the "menubackgrounds"...
I can't get them the right way and i think the menuborder.bmp is missing in the zip file and / or something's wrong in the .uis file...

Can anyone take a look at taht point ?
thanks

Chad did the WB skin for that suite. I'll let him know there's a problem.

Are you using wb3. With previous releases I was having similar problems with other skins. If so go onto object desktop and get the latest release that should hopefully clear it up for you.

no, i'm still with WB 2.21b, i've tried WB3rc1, but i get troubles in other ways with that version (under Win 98 SE)

so if someone else had similar problems what is the real solution ? a trouble in the uis files? a trouble with WB ? a trouble wth tis skin ? a trouble with graphic card drivers ? a trouble with my mother in law ? what else ?

I'm getting boared of those "never solved" issues, and specially because i'm french and i can't understand easilly all is said it's very disapointing ((

The Heavy Equipment WB skin [and the rest of the suite] predated WB3, beta, or otherwise.
I haven't played with WB3 as such yet, and I still haven't got XP up and running, but it's a safe-bet that the HE WB won't skin all that WB3 would let it skin.
HE WB works just fine in WB2.2 build 923, running under LiteSTEP 0.24.6 20010102 dev build....

so Jafo, can you take a look why i can't get correct menubackgrounds (running Win 98 SE+ WB 2.21b or any WBversion indeed) all the other skins with menubackgrounds features are displayed correctly except that one ?
in general there's a menuborder.bmp in the skin folder and a line :
menuborders=skin\menuborder.bmp
in the uis file
but here i've no menuborder.bmp
and the line is menuborders=0

terrible because HE is one of my favorites

the menuborders are not a mandatory feature in a WB skin. All menus that would use the borders are also skinned with the menubackground image. so the menuborders not being there is not a problem.

Are you having a problem with all menus, or certain ones?

Send me the screenshot that you sent to the newsgroup (I don't do newsgroups...sorry) at dm_spadafore@yahoo.com and I'll try to see what you're talking about.
