Huraaay!

Sometimes I have wanted to have a skin cycler... so that every time I booted up I had a different skin (because there are so many awesome skins and I have a hard time choosing). Then I think, no, maybe not. But having the option maybe..... so many great skins, so little time to wear them all!

well, since we are talking about a wishing list, I would make 2 more requests, but please don't be mad on me, they are just request , ok?

1) animated titlebar buttons
2) pleeeeeeease, make a different vertical off set for the user pick and text (name) on the top panel of the XP start menu.

this second request is REALLY needed in most of the skins.

I have a request as well. Could you separate the glyph from the background on components such as the spinners? I think it would look much better. Because it seems with many skins the spinners don't look right.

The new version of SkinStudio finally has that. Also button option for Logging buttons.

Oh, sorry, I thought she meant the buttons.

Hmmm.... Let me see...

Vertical titlebars with true vertical text for one.

Layered titlebar buttons. i.e. you mouse over an area of the titlebar and it reveals the buttons below.

Separate images for the start menu border and icon areas. That way the menu could be skinned much like a window and would allow greater flexibility for tiling the background of the icon area (a limitation I ran into with Marauder).

Animation for the start panel items.

That's all I can think of for now, did I mention vertical titlebars? *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*

The ability to have the titlebar text without a background at all....you know me....transparent to a fault...

Actually I've started making UIS1 skins for all the new ones I'm doing (you just haven't seen any of them yet). It's great having a matching skin that works with Photoshop The UIS1 format already does a lot more than it used to like putting buttons anywhere on the titlebar and being able to cut away shapes in the titlebar with transparency.

I'd like it if titlebar text effects worked in UIS1. And it would be nice if you added the right-click rollup to skin studio - it took me forever to find which section it needed to be in to work.

Hmmm...Good thread Treetog
Please forgive me if I sum up something that already is possible.
I would like:

- to be able to make layouts for submenu's, instead of only pull down, and place it
anywhere on the screen
- the triangle pointer arrows for submenu's skinnable
- horizontal and vertical seperators in "more programs" submenu being skinnable, which
also appears in submenu "making connections" from start panel places list
- the mouse over on bottombar in startpanel being transparent, making mouse over effect
on the logoff buttons better visible

Found bugs:

- MDI buttons aren't appearing transparent, mouse over isn't working
- Transparency in pull down item (first on top) seems to be overwritten by pull down
item, haven't checked if the same happens to pull down item (last on bottom)

I'd really like a way to specify two or more color changes when using color masks for custom color skins. Would there actually be a way to do that (might have to use more than one mask image for each section though, don't know) or do you think it would just slow it all down too much?

1) be able to color custom all font effect
2) be able to add buttons like on title bar but on start pannel (ex: add a clickable website link)
3) be able to use any kind of smartbuttons, min max close help, so user can choose what ever they want to the place they want in order they want to a place definited by the skinner.
4) replace the seperation bar on toolbar
5) be able to have a background for toolbar that will only stretch or tiled to next line not over that.
6) be able to have a grip that will use all the vertical space line to line.
7) replace the top and bottom line of the toolbar.
8) replace the left part of the window in windows XP
9) be able to use special background behind tabs buttons.
10) be able to use larger borders for tab
11) be able to use background in the tab
12) be able to change font and font color into list header buttons of XP
13) to have a background skinnable on combobox, not only borders.
14) to have transparency support for menu border.
