0x0, 0 bytes color depth 32bit in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

XP, WB6, SS5 - logoff, dialog and shutdown background images. I am unable to get SS to recognize created tga files that would be used to replace the "Luna" style bmps I create a graphic, save the alpha channel and save the graphic as a tga file. when I edit the string to access the tga file it recognizes a file that is 0x0 with 0 bytes, instead of what the file really is, which is 313x198 and 56K. I have copied and pasted the pertinent code&

[font="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"][/font]thanks for your help and the links, (I wonder why the second link attempts to access my ms access, makes me worried about a site when this happens?) I also found my PSP7 reference guide that survived the move from CA to NC. hopefully between the links and the guide I'll, at least, have the information for a better understanding.

TGA and per pixel help in Community WinCustomize Forums

Time to ask for a little bit of help. I need to understand TGA graphics more in order to use the features. I also need to understand "per pixel" for WB again, in order to use the features. What tutorials or books are available that will describe step by s

multitude of issues - second party look see in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

A continuing saga of "what the heck is going on here". What I’m left attempting to correct is this; when I open screen properties and then click on "appearance", I am getting a screen that wants to me to "select data source". And the initial window is showing the classic windows style and not that of windowblinds. I’d like to fix this, any suggestions? (yes, I can reach the WB menu from the WB button.

Interesting, I encountered a problem and low and behold there are others that are experiencing something similar. All of sudden WB5 went blooey. I was reverted back to classic and unable to get “it” back even when after going to a previous restore point. I downloaded mine from stardock central and had some initial problems but it seemed to be working okay? I went ahead and uninstalled and reinstalled WB4.6. I like WB 5 but it does seem a l

I follow someone’s instructions on how to uninstall and install WB5. I rebooted after every change and, up to a point, appears to operate normal. That point being actually changing from classic to WB, uh-uh won’t happen. In the troubleshooting window, I’m being told that WB5 is not properly activated. WindowBlinds has not been activated correctly on this PC. Please activate it from SDC. I know there are pr

Curious question in Community WinCustomize Forums

I am just thrilled at some of the WBs downloads, they are very professional looking and I do enjoy them very much. In my attempts to create a WB I have become somewhat frustrated that my creations do not come close to some of those that I use (5imple, bloss, noire, longhorn, etc.) Its kind of fun to attempt create something, but difficult to measure up. The questions are; what is the level of competence/experience that some

Reply to crash and burn in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

so, are we saying that there is no problems with the new (beta) release. It is only I that have experienceing difficulties. I always thought that "beta" releases were for testers to put the program through its paces and fix bugs before releasing to the rest of us not-so-technically-inclined? I also am not trying to rank on those individuals that put their hard work and time into creating "whatever". for the most part, "good work, fellas/gals

this is when creating a "new" skin from scratch. the end session, toolbar icons and animation standard files were not there. I removed WB and re-installed with the same results. I would also point out that this did not happen on my PC, just my laptop. wierd. makes it difficult but it appears to be a anomoly, just looking for suggestions. I am a subscriber, this is not a shareware version.
