WisBar -- how to change skins...

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi,

I've been using Dashboard and GigaBar. But after reading about the combo skins avaible for WisBar and Dashboard, I've uninstalled Gigabar and installed WisBar.

I've downloaded a couple Dashboard Skins that are supposed to also have skins for WisBar. However, when I select the Dashboard skin, it does not change the Wisbar skin. How do I change the skin on WisBar?


Thanks!

I should read slowerrrrrrrrrrr

okay you have Wisbar installed the prob is the DB skin is not loading the wisbar? well go into the settings on your wisbar and all you have to do is Browse to your Dashboard directory and find the skin folder that has the matching wisbar images and set the paths up and tap apply.

Hey Doreen,

Thanks for the help. But alas, I still must be missing something...

(FYI The Dasboard/WisBar skins I downloaded are 808 and agua which both have wisbar components).

When I enter WisBar Settings > Images, is it the "show background image" setting I need to point to the Dasboard/Skins folder? Assuming this is correct, the setting box that opens up gives me a "Folder" dropdown box that includes only All Folders, Business, Personal and Template choices (there is no way to "browse" to Program Files>SnoopSoft>Dashboard>Skins (the default skins directory for DashBoard).

I'm obviously missing something...

Sorry RGHessel you are not missing something "I" made a mistake, I just checked and seen that the wisbar's settings only lets you "Browse" a few folders, I was under the impression if you selected "All Folders" from the drop down menu you could "then" access the Dashboard Directory but you cannot...
(something the programmer should add)

(I only use DB skins that have the .dsh file w/ the wisbar skin incorp'd already so I never go into wisbars settings too much anymore)

I did a search for those two skins you have but seems they are not here at wincusto, just send them to me at:

and I will modify the .dsh and shoot them back to you okay (that is "IF" the artist has them included in the zip it will take only a few mins okay)
