Halloween

Hi guys, new here. I have a problem. I love the Halloween skin but it does not show all open programs ( see picture1 )

I would to see them all ( see picture2 )

Maybe a skinner might know. I have Skinstudio but can't figure it out.

I don't really understand what you mean. There are 55 icons in both pictures.

There are lots of Halloween skins, so a link to the one you use would be helpful. Also which version of Windows & the version of Windowblinds you are running.

That would merely be because the text margins on the taskbar buttons are different. Like JanOscar said, there are the same amount of icons, they are just spaced differently because of the text margin settings. They can differ from skin to skin.

see how buttons in picture2 shows all program that are open (8)

picture1 shows only 1, the program I have open.

thanks you guys

I think he may be talking about the active taskbar button state?

Or more likely, the normal button state. It must be blank on this Holoween skin which makes it impossible to see what you have open as opposed to pinned apps.

Yeah, that's a good possibility Tim. :-)

The windowblind skin is from the Halloween Premium Suite (subscriber skin). It's for XP & Vista so my guess is what he is asking , is where & how in Skinstudio he can look for the correct settings for those buttons.

All the images are encoded. If you open it in skinstudio all you'll see is noise. This skin doesn't work on win 10 at all.....I just happen to have it in my WB backup folder because I downloaded it years ago.

Then I guess there are different versions, because mine is not, and yes, I know about the encoded skins like i.e. Sins of a Solar Empire wb.

That skin is copyrighted to Stardock, so me editing it and sending it back to you would be......problematic

Looks like I got the skin as a MyColors download rather than a stand alone premium skin.
