SKS5 had a direct link button to the skin folder in explorer. Would be a helpful feature in SKS6.


  


I still use 5 to skin XP fully.. and 6 for Vista.. both work just peachy for me.  ]]>http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/318191http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/318191Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:10:19 -04002008-07-25T01:10:19vStyler on What SKS 5 bits are missing from SKS 62of3http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/318191[EXTRAIMAGES]

Thanks, Lasse! I spent hours searching for that bit in sks6! Finaly edited by opening the skin folder  . All the time thinking to myself that I was a dope for not seeing it in sks.

Add a apply button to the color and font screens.


Ditto that

I only use sks6. But so far only for skinning Vista......

By the way, is there the option to import sections into an exsisting skin in sks6. Like import startpanel A into WB B?]]>http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/318191http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/318191Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:10:19 -04002008-07-25T01:10:192of3 on What SKS 5 bits are missing from SKS 6Night Trainhttp://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/318191

I sent a email to stardock support that has gone unresponded to.. see info here.

I have gotten very used to SKS6 and almost never open SKS5.

That contains the resize graphics placed in the lower right corner of a window.

Throbbers for the toolbar icons. (The animated windows flag in the upper right corner of Explorer in XP). This is listed as "Experimental" in SKS5.

[usericon]
This was also an "Experimental" setting in SKS5, where you can force a custom user pic to apply with a theme.

It also appears that for [PleaseWait.BackgroundPerPixel] - the options for:

TextShift=value
TextShiftY=value

are missing. They could be added under an "Extra" tab.

It would also be nice to be able to edit more under the [Personality] section. There was a section for this in SKS5. Or at least have it collected all in one place, in stead of all over the place in various sections in SKS6.

And to be able somewhere in SKS to add the UIFlashMode=1 code for Vista and on the buttons affected, be able to add NoFlash=1 with a checkbox under an "Extra" tab as in other places in SKS.

I think that's it for now I can think of.]]>http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/318191http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/318191Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:10:19 -04002008-07-25T01:10:19PixelPirate on What SKS 5 bits are missing from SKS 6highlanderhttp://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/318191 ]]>http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/318191http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/318191Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:10:19 -04002008-07-25T01:10:19highlander on What SKS 5 bits are missing from SKS 6erathonielhttp://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/316422http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/316422http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/316422Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:10:19 -04002008-07-25T01:10:19erathoniel on Independence Day vs. Fourth of JulySanChoninohttp://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/316422Actually, it was General Andrew Jackson.

Well, there you go. History lessons for the both of us. ]]>http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/316422http://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/316422Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:10:19 -04002008-07-25T01:10:19SanChonino on Independence Day vs. Fourth of JulyCariElfhttp://zubaz.joeuser.com/article/316422

 

The 5th of May isn't even really celebrated much in most of Mexico, only in the state of Puebla, where like forty years after their independence, the Mexicans fought a battle to expel Maximilian's (the puppet dictator from France) army.

Actually, I did know that it was when Maximillian was kicked out, but I didn't know about the 15th and 16th of September.

It would be like the equivalent if we celebrated the day old Stonewall Jackson kicked British ass in New Orleans during the war of 1812, and the rest of the world thought of that as our Independence Day.

Actually, it was General Andrew Jackson.  Stonewall Jackson was a general in the American Civil War.

Any way, common misconception that gets foisted on us by all the department stores and restaurants having Cinco de Mayo sales and specials. Meanwhile, all the Mexicans who AREN'T from Puebla are too busy trying to figure out why us Americans give a damn about it.

That's probably one of the best lines I have read in a long time. As Obi Wan Kenobi once said "who's more foolish, the fool or the fool that follows?".

Okay, gotta give a quick history lesson.

In America, we erroneously believe that the 5th of May is MexIndependence Day. (Like that word I just made up? I certainly do. Better get a trademark on that bad boy.) It's not. MexIndependence Day is the night of the 15th and the day of the 16th of September, when a priest effectively issued the Latin American equivalent of the Declaration of Independence (called the Grito de Dolores, or Cry of Pains (well, and Dolores, too, because that was also the name of the town the priest was from)). Father Manuel Hidalgo is basically their Thomas Jefferson. And it's the 15th and 16th.

The 5th of May isn't even really celebrated much in most of Mexico, only in the state of Puebla, where like forty years after their independence, the Mexicans fought a battle to expel Maximilian's (the puppet dictator from France) army. Most Mexicans don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo, only in Puebla do they actually do so. It would be like the equivalent if we celebrated the day old Stonewall Jackson kicked British ass in New Orleans during the war of 1812, and the rest of the world thought of that as our Independence Day.

Any way, common misconception that gets foisted on us by all the department stores and restaurants having Cinco de Mayo sales and specials. Meanwhile, all the Mexicans who AREN'T from Puebla are too busy trying to figure out why us Americans give a damn about it.

It IS a special day, and should be marked as such, particularly in a society that celebrates at the drop of a hat.  We even have Cinco de Mayo (5th of May) celebrations here in Michigan, and that's the Mexican Independence Day!

I think everyone should join in a battle re-enactment so they don't forget the real meaning of the day.  Historically accurate uniform reproductions for everyone.
