Published on January 23, 2015 By WOM In WindowBlinds

I remember in the old days(Good Old) you had skinners making minimalistic, thin border window blinds with a roll up button.  Damn few skinners put the roll up button anymore and it seems thin borders are out.  One reason most of my blinds are old.

Dr, I don't believe the WC Wiki is available anymore. 

You're right, Philly...hadn't realized.

Im aware of the process Doc- but when it comes to animating or inserting sounds for skins i think nobody knows better than Dani
or i could try and ask MrPaul
maybe i check his Gui submission for answers or LS can tell me how many frames i would need for the mouseover to recognize that i want an animation instead of a 5 stage picture, since i think adding more would be confusing because of the order...  

For example on the left hand side Program list i would like to have a color indictaion on the left of the mouseover for each listed program if possible with the used colorcode that is defined by the program icon or the program itself and when i mouseover i want that stripe of color gently animated to pull out.
I wanted to do this for a long time but i think it is not possible i know i can have one mouseover that would then used for each listed program.
something like this: 

 

You are correct benmanns, what you would like to do cannot be done. A single mouse over image only.

I also miss the lively forums threads we used to have.

Ditto... in triplicate!

WC forums used to be so interesting and lively way bay when, especially with such old timers as Night Train, Sleeping Dragon and Bichur.  I'm sure there are many others who contributed to mke the forums warm and friendy places as well... if only they'd all come back from time to time.

Sadly, the forums nowadays consists of 3 million lurkers who NEVER contribute, and a couple of dozen regulars who do their best to keep things going despite the huge imbalance and little else activity.  For mine, lurkers shouls only be able to read 10 to 20 posts before a script kick in on their account that blocks them from reading anything on the forums unless they contribute regular written posts of their own.

I also propose 2 teir subscriptions where contributors pay a lower amount and lurkers pay the lion's share for simply being takers without giving anything back.

Orright, now I've had a gripe/whinge/bitch, back to the WBs.

Yeah, while I like a bit of bling here and there to make things interesting, I do like the simplistic, older style WBs with narrow borders and toolbars, etc.  And the rollup button, well lately I've been using Dark Tone by Bleumart.  It is a dark skin with blue buttons... including rollup.

Can you imagine the thousands of posts and what they would look like?  Starkers you've just made me shit my pants

Well, as a skinner, I do like variety.  I enjoy all styles of skinning, including the smaller window frames.  They say variety is the spice of life and definitely not boring, and it does give something for everyone to enjoy.  There use to be a lot more simplistic blinds in the past, and it does seem things have turned around a bit.  And, yes, the forums use to be a really fun place.  I remember threads of just plain, nonsense, fun threads, and I do miss a lot of people that use to be around more.

RND, tried the double click, didn't work, ya have to right click then left click and it rolled up.

Though I don't need/use the roll up funtion I still have it set to roll up on right clicking, but still I get this shit, too on various applications. (W7 and W8)

So don't you sheesh on us, RND, you young twirp.

Thought so thank you LightStar.
So i could however do the single mouseover only with a different color as indicator but that would look odd i guess.

Hum, seems to be turning into a thread of age.  Let's see, in that case, hum, well, isn't age priceless?  Take wine for instance.  Just a thought.

Women age like milk....

Snowman runs, to avoid Christines 'hammer'.

Hehe

OK Snow, watch out - hammer's down (well actually rented a bulldozer for the occasion - more effective as it is the ultimate hammer).
