We give them a hand, they want the arm! <_<

If you mean the window thumbnail backgrounds, those are not skinnable....

...for now, at least.

Heck no! This is awesome Jorge! I wish all software came with at least half as much. Great job! :thumbsup: 5* 5*

 

And no problem in the popups...was just curious. :grin:

OK Jorge....I'm stumped here. Looked through all the settings on how to change this. I can't get the main NextStart startmenu to match the rest of the theme I'm working on...the submenus are ok....but the main one stays the same no matter which theme I'm using. Help! :-"

 

Update: Nevermind...found it. ;P

Ok Jorge...question time again. On the dropdown menu on the top dock for WorkShelf...where are the settings for the text color and effects. I looked everywhere in the help files and opened everything I could to find them and don't see them anywhere. Help! :-"

 

Update: Ok...somehow it fixed itself. I assumed settings for the startmenu applied to all menus...but for some reason they weren't doing that at first. Not sure what I did to fix it...so if you can shed some light on it that would be great. :grin:

And I'm not sure I fully understand the question, hehe.

If you mean the submenus used in WorkShelf, those come from the current NextSTART theme. Which theme is used for the WorkShelf context menus has to do with how Winstep integration has been set: open WorkShelf Preferences -> Theme Management -> Theme Options button -> Menus section at the top. You have 3 options:

1: Use Integrated WorkShelf Theme (means the menus will use the look specified in the NextSTART theme that is the companion for the theme currently applied to WorkShelf. Thing here is that your current NextSTART theme MUST have been saved in the mean time - my bet is that was the problem).

2: Use current NextSTART theme (menus in WorkShelf assume the look of your current NextSTART menus - this enables you to have, for instance, WorkShelf displaying the KTEK 4D theme but with Aero LowRes menus, if that is the theme currently selected in NextSTART).

3: Use Default Menu Theme (context menus in WorkShelf will always display with the NeXT theme look, which is currently the default).

Anyway, sorry for the delay in replying and happy new year to all too!  :)

Thanks Doc! I just hope Tiggz see's it and likes it as well. O:) As soon as everythings done I'll be sending him the screenshot. But remember the WB skin itself has never been finished or released...so he "may" not want to have this released just yet. Fingers crossed though!  :)
