Randy...your knuckles will be skinned in frustration using StyleXP with its feeble limitations....so that's something it'll 'skin more'....

another thing, for the tabs you can use more then 1 image, for example, top left tab, top right tab, top tab, left tab, etc etc. There are more, just download style builder and see for yourself.

Add all those svchost.exe's onto it (since they are also part of the visual engine. You can turn them off when you are using windowblinds) and you get alot larger number than that.

Nope, I dont have them. You can turn them off if you're not using the XP skinning engine.

Quick math: 16524 kb's unnecessarily taken up by StyleXP etc.

WindowBlinds currenly on my system: 440 kb, but it IS a pretty minimalistic skin.

"My Computer" "Control Panel" "Administrative Tools" "Services" scroll down to "Themes" and Disable.

But that will disable StyleXP as well.

(yes, skinners from wc) that they start using style XP more often too

That'll be the small 's' 'skinners'.  Anyone with a history with WB will perhaps 'toy' with the little proggies when they're bored in their gourd....but it'll never be a serious infatuation....

There are some small details like a vertical progres bar and all kind of sliders that are skinned. The 'larger' buttons and squares are skinned and there are some more examples like that.

All skinnable in SKS Pro

Also possible in SKS Pro

The only thing you've mentioned that isn't possible is creating a taskbar that scrolls.

The creators of them might feel that they have created them just for style XP and not for windowblinds so the IP issue on that is kind of double standard.

Well then they shouldn't use a format that (for lack of a better word) was stolen.

As towards more users using StyleXP, maybe it just seems that way to you because you never really participated in it's community before now.

I hope you dont mean WC with 'its community', check my userID, I have been arround here for quite some time now and have been more active then you, as far as I can remember. I have spend hours on the wincustomize msgboard and created LOTS of skins. I even create professional interfaces for companies like coca cola and smart so you really shouldn't be saying things you don't know anything about. (And yes, some of those interfaces were windowblinds based and some styleXP based.)

I have spend hours on creating WB skins and the same counts for StyleXP Skins. Keep in mind that a lot of companies that want a custom GUI choose for StyleXP as you can also run those with a .dll hack.

JTB, StyleXP dasn't hack into something, or atleast, not in 'that' way.
StyleXP loads the hack into your memory, when you shut it down, all is back to normal.

First off, I was actually refering to the StyleXP community, which is clear by its name being in the same sentence. Secondly, your memory clearly isn't so great, and clearly you didn't have the intelligence to check my library before you posted. By lots for skins you mean... two? Mkay... Cursor sets and 3D generated wallpapers hardly count as skins skipper. And my congratulations on your professional design work, not exactly sure what that has to do with anything, but if you'd like I can spout out random highlights on my resume too. So, take your own advice, and don't talk about things that you don't know about.

But AP, you can port styleXP for personal use too

MP,

I checked your library yes.

Secondly, your memory clearly isn't so great, and clearly you didn't have the intelligence

I don't know why you are now starting with personal attacks but remember, becomming angry is a sign of being wrong and ofcourse, very unpolite.

As I said, I worked on lots of skins, not every skin I have is here in the library. I even deleted some skins because I felt the overal quality wasn't good enough (anymore).

I could make a personal attack back here but I wont, probably just a matter of taste.

Random Highlights? Yeah, with a client list of 50+ Clients in one year its hard to choose.

But hey, dont take my comments seriouse because I dont know **** about things.

btw, I dont count a wallpaper as a skin, a cursor theme is a 'skin'...

want to know more of my work, just check my profile, or better jet, drop a visit on my site in 2 weeks.

Really funny how people can get so upset if you share an opinion that is other then theirs.
Did you hear me say that WB was crap? NO.
and more users switching to StyleXP, why do I have to know the StyleXP community to see that more skinners (here from WC) are using styleXP?

anyway, believe what you want to believe, you are right not? just tell yourself that you are right and maybe one day, you will even believe it!!

but now for seriouse, see you all arround, I will be off on a holiday. (so dont even bother to post a reply with more personal attacks )

As a peaceful, soft spoken member of the community, I am appalled by this chest pounding bravado.

This threatening entry is just one of the many in the growing library of terrorist threats that have become the hallmark of this site.

I was also shocked to find crude sex toys that procreate on my desktop on demand. This is supposed to be a family site. I am alarmed and deeply troubled, this X rated content is unacceptable, and frankly, deplorable. May god have mercy on your soul’s, Thank You.
