His 'n Hers Blinds
Published on June 24, 2009 By Mirsguy In Sneak Previews

I recently began work on a new WindowBlind I am calling 'Miricla.' This is a skin that I am making specifically for my wife, Brysgirl. She has not been able to find that 'perfect skin' yet, so I am creating it for her.

It is primarily blue in color and quite glassy. I chose the blue color because I just couldn't bring myself to work with pink. This skin is a recolorers dream, and looks good however you set the color slider in the config settings.

When I complete Miricla, I will begin work on 'Tinted,' which will be essentially identical in most ways to Miricla, just with dark glass rather than blue. Also, the Tinted WB will be made to match the ObjectDock backgrounds I have already created of the same name.

To me it looks like you haven't assigned an image to the maxed caption.

Mine is doing the same, and I have assigned an image to maxed caption.

perhaps you can check the painting margins for the text and you can try to check if menubar images and pixel button have a too much size transparent

All check out well.

I have.

I would have to see the blind to know for sure (hint, hint send it to me?)

There is a 4 pixel difference in height between the maxxed perpixel and standard bitmapped frames.Maxxed perpixel will display 4 less.Image size of the maxxed image isnt important unless it is less than that amount...all other sizes will be cut off on top.

best is to make maxxed image 4 less than bitmapped size.(not the perpixel titlebar)

If caption height is 26...maxxed perpixel will be 22.

If that dosnt fix it...check trans settings and sizing margins for maxxed image...looks like something is wrong...Is it supposed to be black?

Why are you not using your perpixel image from perpixel frames?

I feel stupid. I didn't realize there was a correlation between the two. I thought that the settings were just independent of each other.

I ended up taking my caption pp border image and using it to create my maximized caption image. Problem solved.

Thanks everyone for your input!

Which is why Zubaz's idea about a Master Skinner adopting a promising artist to show him/her the tricks and both become better by doing so was so great. (LINK).   to the Zu!

Sad to say but you'll have to (a little). I've been really busy lately, and the *fun* work obviously has to take a back seat.

Practically speaking though, it's almost done.

Trashing me, huh?

Yeah; who needs ya?

Actually, that's an empty folder, so no true trashing was done. However, I'm sure if "Fred" was around, that we could change that...

Finalized Windows, Combo box buttons, and Spin controls.
