Aqua-Soft Forumsany way to get the transparent itunes scroll bar into a theme???
[question] Itunes Scroll Bar
For MSStyles or WindowBlinds?
You can't do it without moddifying the .msstyle (or whatever WindowBlinds uses) file
You can take a full screen shot (Print Screen key) with iTunes open, but not active (so they are clear). Use StyleBuilder (from TGTSoft) to open the style you want (extract WindowBlinds themes with Winzip or similar) and use Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or similar, to get the images just right and replace them. Archive the theme again and set it to your theme.
what do they look like?
i made some clear scrollbars for one of my themes, like the one pictured (it's actually a bitmap, but i had to upload it as a png).
it's not difficult to replace images in msstyles.
I can't figure out why the scrollbars (in .msstyle) can't act like iTunes.
I mean when a window is inactive the scroll bar shouldn't be aqua anymore, right?

I'd like to see the same in a WB theme - and also so that when a window is inactive the titlebar could be transparent as per OSX :yes:
im sorry what i mean is the way that they work.... when you scroll down the aqua part goes but the background stays.... its programed into itunes somehow, i mean they operate as they do on a real mac.....hmmmm too bad windows themes couldnt be just a little more .....Macintosh

hmm, i'm not really sure how this works. i've never seen it in action.

I think I know what you're talking about, but unfortunately this deals with transparancy, something that windows doesn't seem to allow in the scrollbars. This is also why we can't have rounded ends to the scrollbars going into the rounded endcap buttons so perfectly as they do on a Mac, it's the little things that make a big difference and as usual Windows falls short on all accounts! <_<
