Stefanka's

Inspirat SE

July 12, 2005 9:46:36 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Oh baby, someone please convert this to Windowblinds

I tried loading it into Skinstudio and most everything works but alas I'm no skinner so I don't know how to fix the following issues:

1. Min / Max / Close buttons have weird artifact on end of titlebar; it looks like the buttons are misaligned
2. Stefanka used Styler toolbar for the great looking Longhorn buttons but again I do not know how to convert these
3. the scrollbars look good except for the end pieces; his screenshot looks so perfect; my convert has white space

you can find his work at Deviantart: http://www.deviantart.com/view/20415408/

Thanks
windowblinds

Don't worry. It'll eventually show up as a WB somewhere/sometime.

Try doing a search in the "Browse Site" box on the left side of the screen. I came up with several Windowblinds called Inspirat, including one called Inspitrat SE.

I am curious to know what went so horribly wrong with the titlebar button conversion. I tried it myself and the image states are clearly uneven. I've never looked at an msstyle in stylebuilder, so I'm not sure how the buttons would have been created to cause such havoc when converted.

The titlebar buttons are not standard sizes or placements, I think the conversion goes wonkey because Adam hasn't encountered buttons done like that.

Who ever is porting it, the buttons are crying out for a glowing overlay


As for the Styler Toolbar, WB can't imitate that - its an additional toolbar thats been added to the default Windows ones, and you can't easily customise it.

You have to hide the original ones to get the desired effect.

I was able to adjust the control buttons without any issues however the shell style is a whole another story as well for the scoll bar buttons
will have to wait for a good port but for now this will do.

Yeah, I've bought it. Its a front end for using mmstyles with the added feature of skinning a new Toolbar in Explorer (see above). The toolbar feature if pretty cool, but unless you want to edit a text file you are stuck with the layout defined by the skin (like the picture above you can't add extra buttons unless you make your own .pngs for each state and manually edit the toolbar skin file).

It doesn't add any new features to the mmstyle skinning engine, but it does let you tweak the color of the mmstyle by altering the hue and saturation of the whole skin on the fly - not as powerfull as custom colours for WB, but still very nice.

Stefanka happens to be a master at creating mmstyles that do things most people didn't know it could do. There is probably only a handfull of people at the most who can do the same with the mmstyle engine. I'm sure that once Adam gets his hand on this he'll make SkinStudio import this style....he loves a challenge like that.

Anyone come across any program that can tweak the Explorer toolbar like Styler? I have tried yzToolbar but that only let you use bigger png images. I would like something that allows fof the addressbar to be placed anywhere on the toolbar and add flexible spacers. (Spacers like you can add in Firefox)

Skinsstudio didn't do it? I used to convert them horizontal shellstyles that appeared some time ago. Perhaps this one is too much different somehow.

Dimage,

I imported the shell style through Skinstudio via "tools -> windowblinds -> import shellstyle"
Stefanka labeled his folders nicely so there's no confusion as to which shell goes to which subskin.

I'd love a copy of your work. Is your link above good for your "fixed" scrollbars?
