In search of a few WB users with XP ...

May 19, 2002 3:17:20 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I'm in the final stages of updating my Matrix skin for WB but I need to see how it works on different machines. My main concern is with the start menu and user picture area. I'm on XP Pro and log onto a domain so I don't get the user picture on any skin. Vertical taskbars are also an issue, seeming to need different handling then horizontal ones. The beta skin I'm offering up is still hosed on quick-launch buttons for the vertical bars but it's just a matter of spending the time to fix it.

I basically just need a few people willing to try it out and provide some feedback. Either post here or drop me an email mercury@mwpce.com , and I'll send the file over.

TIA,
Merc

Hey Chad! It's good to be back but time is still tight!

When XP first came out I wasn't too excited but after using it here and installing it for quite a few customers, I'm loving it! Worth every penny IMO.

I'm running it on a notebook with a 1600x1200 res screen so I'm really digging 'clear type'.

Just got the skin file Merc, now to go play...

I run XP on a couple of machines, with a variety of video cards. As a big fan of the original skin, I would be honored to be a beta tester.

Oh, the heck with dignity. PLEASE pick me!

Can't wait to see the final product. So send me the current one.

Just joking. If you want another opinion feel free to send it to me. If not I'm willing to wait.

Emails have been sent - probably should have warned you the file is rather big at the moment!

I hope so Chad, I've always enjoyed your work!

Thanks David! Paul's already come up with a few ideas. The skin still needs a whole lot of polishing before it's ready to be uploaded!

I wish I had XP and could check it out for ya. You were one of my main inspirations when I started doing WB skins in the first place *s*.

Now I'm stuck trying to decide if I should beg someone to do the XP features for my current project..hehe

I'm finishing up a skin in the next few days, but my slate will be clear after that if you need some help with the Xp stuff.

I'm not sure exactly what kind of feedback I should be giving, but the skin looks great! (I love the animations!) And it seems to be working just fine, no matter where the taskbar is. The user picture are looks fine, and even the quicklaunch works great.

Good job!

I don't want to seem unfreindly. I would love to!!! But I have to iron out some wrinkles in my computer. For some reason, not all components are showing as they should. And I could give only general advice. (and I admire your style)
