1  Help / Windows 7 / Caption button transitions. on: June 18, 2013, 06:50:25 pm
Hi.

How can I alter the transition length between the caption button states - normal, hover, pressed, etc. Thank you.

Regular.

Thank you, but I am not talking about the regular and max frame sizes.

Amana2 forces all regular frames to have the same caption height. This is not normal.

I understand as much. I was wondering how he was able to force all windows to have the same caption height, as I would like to do the same. Thank you.

How? I saw it done in Amana 2, and I guess others also do it. Are there any negatives to doing this? I noticed the caption buttons went below the caption in the maximized frame, in Amana 2, but I want to make the caption taller, so maybe this wouldn't happen to me.

Windows 7 - latest beta.

Thank you.

Thank you.
7  Help / Windows 7 / E-Mail Address In .msstyles on: March 31, 2013, 09:49:54 pm
I just noticed that my e-mail appears in my theme's .msstyles file... any idea why? I'm going to be releasing the theme I'm using, and I would like to hide my address...

I solved it by adjusting the preferences through Start > Search > SystemPropertiesPerformance.

I have it checked, and when I restart it is unchecked. I've been enabling it every time I turn my computer on - I've already added shadows to my theme and am using it. I was wondering if whether they were enabled or disabled was a part of the theme? I know that there are separate frames.

Thank you.

Are window shadow preferences associated with themes? I have to enable them every time I restart.

Thank you.

I've done that, but the side and top shadows do not meet correctly.

Any idea why they would not blend correctly?

I still don't quite understand how this works. If I wanted uniform shadows, would I simply resize the top, bottom, left, and right shadows to all be the same size?

Also... I've made a mock frame with shadows, but I have no idea how to translate this into WSB... Could someone explain this better? Are the shadow images stretched... How could I achieve uniformity? I imagine I would adjust the margins so it tiles a single pixel of width or length.

Thank you.

Not surprised. Thank you.
14  Main / Future Concepts and Ideas / Maps & WSB on: March 17, 2013, 09:20:12 pm
I really appreciate all of the maps in the Maps section on the forum. However, I wish we could simply copy & paste the addresses listed in those threads.

For example:

I want to edit "x." The map tells me x is - Green is Fonts & System Metrics > WINDOW:COLOR.

I wish I could copy and paste "Fonts & System Metrics > WINDOW:COLOR" somewhere and jump right to the location in the tree. This would save me a lot of time, as I spend a lot of it navigating the tree.

Thank you.

I have downloaded the latest beta, and both of these problems seem to have been resolved.

Thank you.
16  Help / Windows 7 / Re: DWM Crash & Revert to Basic Every Time I Test .msstyles on: January 31, 2013, 01:56:08 pm
I did that.

I tested the Aero theme itself, with no modifications, and got the same error.

I didn't get rid of the file that you mentioned, but I don't think it matters.

This is slightly off topic, but I was wondering, can I edit the image files of an .msstyles file without WSB? I know I can navigate to and extract them with Restorator, but is there also a way to edit them back into the theme without WSB? Or, what the easiest way to go about that is. I have no real sense of flow within WSB.

Hello.

So I've given up on trying to sort this by myself.

I made a copy of the Aero theme and renamed it, etc. I opened that msstyles file, from the desktop, and tested it, without making any changes. Every time I do so, DWM crashes, and my VS goes basic. This has effectively kept me from theming.

I spent a lot of time trying to theme the DWM frame, going through every top instance, and theming/testing it, to see if I had themed the basic file. Nope. I figure that the DWM crash is keeping me from making any changes to the DWM with my theme.

Testing other themes is working.

I've been able to compile my own .msstyle from Aero, but I've always had the problem I describe above. I've never been able to theme the DWM frame.

I'm on W7 - build 1.5.0.0
