[quote="unnamedXD"]hello, im runing windows 7 x64 and the plugin doesnt skin my filebrowser windows any ideas ?[/quote]bbWinSkin has yet to be released in a 64-bit version. This means that, when it is running in a 64-bit environment, it can only skin 32-bit apps. The file browser that you have is almost certainly a 64-bit app.

It is hoped that there will be a 64-bit release later this year. In the meantime, if you are not running xoblite, you can try looking [url=http://bb4win.sourceforge.net/]here[/url] at the browsers that come with bbLean 1.17 & boxCore.

[quote="cthu1hu"]I've noticed that bbleanbar+ no longer works with vanilla bblean 1.17. It gives an error about not finding entrypoint gettraybaloon. Might it and bbLeanSkin+ be becoming incompatible with vanilla?[/quote]The released version of bbLeanBar+ is based on the 27-01-2009 (beta 2) version of the bbLean 1.17 codebase.

You are presumably attempting to run it on the 18-05-2009 (final) version.

At some stage, a heavily modified version of bbMien will be relased - probably under another name. ;)

I find it amusing when skins designed for other shells look exactly like Blackbox.

I've noticed that bbleanbar+ no longer works with vanilla bblean 1.17. It gives an error about not finding entrypoint gettraybaloon. Might it and bbLeanSkin+ be becoming incompatible with vanilla?

[quote="cthu1hu"]Is transparency in bbleanskin doable?[/quote]Yes. This is part of the update to bbLeanSkin+ - release date pending.

EDIT: If you mean transparency for just the skinner & not the window - as shown in your screenie - this is *not* doable ATM.

[b]Caveats for Transparency Build[/b]
[list][*]Your box probably needs a basic Core Duo or better. Something less may end up struggling. "Struggles" means windows turning completely black.

[*]Partial (focus|unfocus) transparency[list][*]apps with child (>1) windows get rendered "all focus" or "all unfocus". This is a limitation of the Windows API (see [url=http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632680(VS.85).aspx]WS_EX_LAYERED[/url]). In some cases, "all unfocus" happens even though the app has the focus.[*]Make sure you have [b][i]bbleanskin.windows.backTransparency: #c3ff11[/i][/b] as an active setting - otherwise it will default to Full Transparency[*]To switch transparency off for a single window, short term, click on the [b]very[/b] outside of the window. It will last until you click somewhere else on the screen.[*]For the avoidance of doubt, this plugin will not render transparency under Windows 9x.[/list]

[*]Full background transparency. [list][*]This works by your: [list][*]choosing a single colour (in Hexadecimal notation (as used in Style files - [b]including[/b] the [b]#[/b]) - [b]not[/b] #c3ff11 ;)[*]setting Application Background & Window in Display|Appearance Control Panel applet to that colour (using RGB notation)) [*]for Hex to RGB conversion, try somewhere like [url=http://www.javascripter.net/faq/hextorgb.htm]here[/url]. [/list][*]You'll also probably need to reset your font choices to something that does [b]not[/b] support font smoothing - unless you have dark text on a pale background - or vice versa. (Turning font smoothing off is not recommended.) ;) Some of the many alternative font possibilities are:[list][*]System[*]MS Serif[*]any of the artwiz fonts used in Styles[/list][/list][/list]Enjoy!

it's ok... I understand, I can live without the outlines.. was just an idea and I thought maybe it could be derived from the already existent shadow effect that is present in most of the plugins... anyway thanks for the reply!

[quote="dpcdpc11"]just got an idea... use some syntax to outline the fonts in the window title bar...[/quote]Nice idea - but :( not very pretty when it's done up in code.

ATM the code for drawing outline text is a bit intensive to work successfully on any of the plugins tested to date: bbWinSkin, bbSystemBar & bbStyle.

just got an idea... use some syntax to outline the fonts in the window title bar... a white font would look awesome with a black outline on a Grey window label section... could the shadow syntax be used to do something like this?

I've attached a screenshot to see what I mean.
