Title: Active/Inactive frame
Post by: VolutedDodgyD on March 15, 2009, 07:12:18 pm
Is there a way to change the left and right sides of the window frames so that there can be an active and inactive option for them as when the window is active the colour i chose is in use, shown here: http://www.tehupload.com/uploads/2195036c8e133c1Active_border.bmp, but when the window is inactive, the frame stays the same colour but would like it to be like the bottom of the window as here: http://www.tehupload.com/uploads/097912a25d859a6InActive_Border.bmp. Any help please

I don't think it's possible.  That's one thing that has always bugged me.

Why it is not possible?
I think you just haven't replace the inactive bottom border.

I just don't understand why there is active/inactive options for bottom and top but not for left and right. I was hoping to have the inactive borders as opaque which works fine for top and bottom.

It's possible. I messed up when making the XMLs. It's been fixed for a very long time. There just hasn't been an update since then where I could drop it to Ave.

So how long will it be before having to wait for this update (approx)?

This is a shellstyle image. So you have to edit it in your shellstyle

Technically you can just cover it up using a opaque command bar image. That's what they do in Windows 7.

Well i don't know whats happened, but after checking the area, that greeny/blue colour has disappeared and the buttons have turned square as shown here: http://www.tehupload.com/uploads/8498f52a6871fd1ScreenShot005.bmp. Seems like an error has occured.

Another thing I have just noticed, after changing a random object and testing it, that greeny/blue bar has come back. I've just saved the style with the background still as greeny/blue, applied it and it's disappeared again. I'm seriously confused now!!! :S
