Button State Text Bug in SKS?

While more cleanup to my theme, I noticed in SKS10

Controls -> Toolbars -> Normal Toolbars -> Split Button -> Text tab:
* Pressed state is actually disabled state.

Controls -> Toolbars -> Normal Toolbars -> Toolbar style menubar button -> Text tab:
* Mouseover state is actually disabled state.

Controls -> Toolbars -> Places Toolbars -> Button -> Text tab:
* Focused state is actually disabled state.

There may be others. I stopped all work until the next version of SKS.

The issues you mention have been issues for several versions of SKS and have been mentioned here in the forums many times.

I wouldn't stop making blinds because of these issues for they probably won't get fixed in future versions and because you'll run into several more along the way.

How unfortunate.

If the file format for WindowBlinds themes were available, I would just write my own editor.

The vertical taskbar buttons are the same way, misidentified on the states. There are lots of things like this in SKS, you just have to learn to live with them unfortunately. 😕

SkinStudio is not being actively developed anymore? Or are the devs are unable to fix typos? I'm not sure if I understand the situation, being the 'new guy' here and all. lol

While I'm certainly not privy to the inner workings of Stardock, correcting the errors doesn't appear to be a priority. It seems to me that the program is basically the same with components added or taken away but not rewritten.

Seriously though, if you find skinning to be entertaining don't sweat the small stuff, it'll only make you crazy.

Yeah, nothing's perfect, but hey......it's a Killer piece of software as it is

As 4 most of all the other StarDock's software.

Yeah, I haven't run into any problems with WindowBlinds itself, great piece of software. Learning the quirks of the SkinStudio will take a bit.
