Text effects on 32bit transparent backgrounds are not implemented yet. It's weird. There seems to be layer information, or perhaps transparency information in the PNG that gets read by BB2. If i flatten the layer in photoshop, I'll destroy the transparency, but font shadows will work. If I just merge the layers--keeping transparency intact--there won't be font shadows, but also, the PNGs are much brighter, as if BB2 is reading some transparency information in the PNG. It also has the effect of crashing BB2 infrequently. So I'm stuck with a skin I'm making. I can't flatten the layers and I can't merge visible/linked. _________________ My blackbox styles "Everyone has a talent, what is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads." - Erica Jong |

Re: Finally: Blackbox with bitmap skinning tao,I have a question here: Haven't this version supported tray icon clicking yet? I've tried Ctrl/Shift/Alt + R/L/M click on WLM icon but received no response, and the same problem appears on several other icons, too. Should I change my setting or just wait for the newer version?

Re: Finally: Blackbox with bitmap skinning pitris wrote: Wow! This is great! I've downloaded it and it works fine for me. My sister bought a laptop with windows vista and I said: "It looks quite nice, maybe even nicer than my blackbox. We should improve bb somehow." And here it is.  I have a few questions: There's a BB2Skin.dll file in blackbox root. Is it a plugin for BB? If not, maybe it would be nice to have this skinning as a plugin. (Like bbleanskin skins titlebars, your plugin would skin the whole windows). On the other hand I assume that your blackbox clone provides some api for other plugins to use the skinning on their own windows. For that intention it's better to have it built-in in bb core. (or send broams to the core to get handles of the skinning stuff?) Will it be possible to skin other windows, not only buttons and scrollbars? Like editbox, combobox etc. BB2Skin.dll is only the hook dll. Currently there is no plugin support for BB2, all features are built-in. It would be possible to skin editboxes and comboboxes. I only fear that this might become unstable. I encountered already problems with skinned buttons in one special app. blueswilder wrote: Here is some advices. Thanks.

Yeah, this bug is known. Like you mentioned, only some app icons are working. I've taken exactly the same code Leanbar uses. I even get this problem with the original Leanbar when I compile it by myself. Same with BBIconBox. Perhaps someone could compile BB2 sources and post if tray icons are working then. |

Re: Finally: Blackbox with bitmap skinning Merry Xmas to all of you.
Well, I think this will be my last update. I decided to just improve the MMS theme further in the future. The update is mainly interesting for developers, it has a transparent windows border feature, which isn't finished though. You find the source code below. Have fun. Attachments:
