[Release] Bz Panther/Tiger Update now w/ Brushed

[bzeitler 0]

I decided to update my panther and tiger skins. I replaced lots of images, fixed some bugs, replaced the hated large fonts with smaller ones, added brushed and safari substyles.

Included in the zip are (2) looca skins (2) windowblinds themes (graphite and Regular) and a folder called "cpl" which needs to be unzipped to c:program filesstardock in order to make the preference skin buttons work.

Each WindowBlinds theme contains the following subskins.

1. Tiger --> Used for default theme

2. Tiger Finder -->Used for explorer.exe or looca.exe

3. Panther --> Used for default theme

4. Panther Finder -->Used for explorer.exe or looca.exe

5. Prefs --> Used with rundll32.exe, wbconfig.exe, wfxload.exe

6. Safari --> Used with Firefox.exe

I hope you enjoy the skin... leave me any bug reports/requests here.

Bz,

What can I say?

Your no less that a skinning god to me and perfection makes perfect.

good,but i think you use smoothstripe's inactive glyphs , look at that Click

[Nico 0]

Yes, you're using Max's inactive glyphs, I don't mind but if you could change that and if somebody could tell me how to decrease the font size (because when I use Arial with this it looks weird :confused:) that would be even better. Also, I just reformatted so I have to reinstall Windowblinds soon...And Looca too! Also, is hills Safari theme a good one to use with this or is there a better one for Firefox 1.0?

awesome man!!! thanks

my only request is a compact menu version for 64x64 icons. that would kick ass

i really dislike large menus

holy crap. all nice things all in one nice pack. it really saves people time you know. a very good work you have there.

but, i'm kinda confused here. dunno what to do with the cpl files and why are the minimize, maximize buttons all weird?

hi bz. just want to ask. do you have a web page of your own. coz i love to download all your work. i love it very much.

thank you. please send a reply.

[XanthraX 0]

No words to express my gratitude. THANK YOU BZ!!!!

[steelfist 0]

my minimize and maximize buttons looks like this. can you help me?

[duyvan82 0]

@steelfist: it looks like you don't have WB 4.3 or newer. I also had that problem before, try downloading the latest WB and see. Good luck

[steelfist 0]

thanks. that fixed it. how do you change the graphite minize and maximize buttons to color ones?

[esXXI 0]

What's with people releasing Tiger themes that don't use the latest Menubar caps? Come on Bz..

[bzeitler 0]

show me the way sexxi.... LOL

@steelfist... umm to change from graphite to color you will need to use the regular panther theme as opposed to the graphite. They are both in the zip.

@everyone else.. thanks for the comments!

just try replacing/renaming the files in the theme's dir - that's pretty simple! btw have a look at tiger ob theme by pete ross and magbi9 (search the forum!)!

good luck with that!

@bzeitler

great piece of aqua-oriented stuff, though i don't use wb (prefer vs's )!

Hi Bzeitler,

Are you using the latest version of WB (4.4)?

[TomLapp420 0]

I have one question, how do I get the preferences skin to work, does it work with the Windows control panel? I'm sure it's set up as some kind of per application setting, i'm just not sure. I have the latest version of WindowBlinds (4.4) and am running Windows XP Home SP2.

Other than that, skins looks great and I love the toolbar buttons in explorer

Hi Bz,

First of all, let me say thank you times infinity plus one!

Second, I installed the panther/tiger update (previously alternating between Tiger 4 & 3.5), and as always, you're the master. But I am increasingly annoyed by the Safari & Looca skins - they work fine with Tiger 3.5, but with 4, including this version, they do not automatically stretch, producing the unsightly result you can see in the attached screenie (top window-Looca, bottom- SafariFox).

Is there any work-around or solution :confused: ? I'm using WB 4.4.

Otherwise, keep up the amazing work, we really do appreciate it.

Moory
