It took you this long to notice that?  There are so many issues with SKS 7 that I gave up a long time ago.  Like the places bar font and text settings when designing an XP skin don't work at all, like a lot of the Help areas have the sequence of images listed wrong (Normal, Mouseover, etc.), like some of the Help areas having 6 items shown for a button that only uses two images, like having to go into the code editor to make changes to text and font settings being the only way to get them to work.  Like.... like.... like...  the list goes on and on.  Oh, and what the heck are "Reserved" Frame Order areas for in images anyway?

Neil, nothing against you or Stardock personally, but IMO someone needs to sit down and actually use SKS 7 almost as a full time job to make sure all the bugs are out of it. It is a fantastic concept, but just needs a lot of polishing. 

I have noticed with the command bar buttons in win7 the "Reserved" frames when you put the image of your normal button in the first reserved spot and the mouseover in the second reserved spot it makes the button to choose icon size/details/tiles etc. act as seperate buttons.

Also you said "currently", does this mean that you are still working on a solution or that is cannot be done at all?

If it comes down to never being able to skin the tabs (which I could live with, I guess   )....can we at least get the toolbars skinnable?

New Bug:

The Vertical Taskbar Mouseover Mask is using the image and margins from the Horizontal Taskbar Mouseover Mask.

My buttons for the vertical taskbar are shorter in width (more space between) than the horizontal ones. I made a mask to fit them so the glow would not show through. It has no effect at all. So I chopped off the edges of the mask on the horizontal bar to fit, and applied it. That changed it.

So, as it stands, anyone wanting to use the glow feature on their buttons will have to have the buttons exactly the same for both taskbars.

same issue here.

The problem with the vertical taskbar mask has been reproduced and resolved for the next build.  It was a section naming issue.

perpixel=1 has to be written into the codex just about for everything that is png at the moment in sk7 can this please be fixed.

Sure would be nice to be able to move the shut down buttons in W7...

It sure would! 

its really restrictive not being able to actually.

The frame order is wrong for the tray arrow and for the more programs arrow sections.

As it happens you can already move them right by using the left content margin on the StartPanel.ShutdownArrow section.

hiya Neil...do the left and right taskbar button content margins work in Win 7?

I couldnt get the icon and text to move horizontally at all.

There is no content margin support on those and I am sorry to say there is unlikely to be.  Windows 7 has specific requirements which pretty much rule out much in the way of control over those as there are some unfortunate side effects.

oh well...I figured that was the case with 7.

a heads up for you Neil...that menu padding feature  is great ...but it causes a weird line to show  under all menubars in 7.(where a button shadow color would normally be)

I was thinking more along the lines of vertical adjustment, independent of the search box.

please.

I would love to be able to use the menu padding...any chance you can get this on your todo list Neil...Its a short list right?(that is a joke Neil...I dont think that list is short at all)

What happens if you add the following to the skin?

[Personality]
FixMenuBar = 1

I'll try that...but I'd swear your pulling my leg.

well I'll be damned...you were serious...wow,does Fix-------=1 work anywhere else?

Say what? Is there a section called that?
