I have been using windowblinds since version 3,I think. I used to write skins but when the skin language changed to include perpixel window frames I began to get lost. 

How do you set the active titlebar height or size in a uis file? Here is the problem.  When I start up my computer, the windowblinds skin I am using sets the height of the active titlebar to something like 22 pixels.  This makes the taskbar at the bottom of the screen also 22 pixels high -- apparently the two are linked somehow in windows (XP) This makes the quick launch icons/buttons in the taskbar about 16 pixels or so high, which makes them very small and hard to read on my 1920x1080 monitor.  I then go into display properties in windows and reset the height of the active titlebar from 22 to 36 pixels. This increases the size of the taskbar and then I have quicklaunch buttons/icons that are 32 x32 pixels and are easy to see. 

If I could edit the uis file not to set the active titlebar height to 22 pixels but instead, to set the height to 36 pixels, then I wouldn't have to reset windows display properties every time I boot up.  There must be some way to do that, since windowblinds is obviously resetting the height of the active titlebar to 22 pixels with the skin that I am using.

Obviously a method that creates a taskbar of 36 pixels high while leaving the quicklaunch  buttons/icons small is pointless. The only point of a taller taskbar is to have bigger icons and buttons on it.  I would like to know how to set the active titlebar height (or inactive titlebar height, it doesn't matter.)

I have tried the various iterations of SkinStudio and have never been able to figure out what is going on in that program.  When I used to make skins, I would just edit the uis file by hand and work it out.
