Why would you want a skin for EFX???

Its old, buggy, hasn't been updated in 3 years. Well probally cause it stopped development.

You might use it like ShellWM for putting the buttons to the left while using a VS...

Much like you can use old WindowBlinds 2.x with Visual Styles for complete skinning.

Thanks for your answers.

Well, i've got now a really cool aqua borderless skin for shell VM.

Some problems with Yz appli, but it seems like osx and waooo!

best regards from france

1 question though: how do you make shellwm start before winfx so i get my shadows?

#28585

With google or at shellcity

To be serious: soory, i forgot which app is able to do that. There are few of them, I suggets you first have a look at shellcity (http://www.shellcity.net) and look around there (i.e. use the search function), if you wont find some there, try to search in the internet with google. I know there apps out there to control the startup-behavior with fine-tuning.

Have fun,

So wai ... Do you mean o say Shell WM can move your msssyle buttons to the left but still keep your visual style? Does this mean I can have buttons on the left without a window blilnds stupid theme? :rolleyes:

Thtas how I understand it, yes.

ShellVM skins the not much but the buttons and the bar as much I know... So if its the only thing you need, go for a try.

Have fun,

I used to use ShellVM with an Aqua borderless skin by Cassiel, but it seemed not to work properly with Y'z Toolbar and due to its absence of borders, you lost the shadows.

#29371

The WM part implies that it attempts to emulate how window managers work in X just handling the borders.

I don't think the fact that y'z doesn't work with it (well) has to do with the skin being borderless on the sides and bottom. Rather it is because when you override your visual style with it y'z gets confused or loses it's hook to the window or something to that effect.

#29392

I see smoke. By the way, Cassiel said with shadows will look better but this is what I get with both WFX 2 and Y'z Shadow:

It is a pitty, cause I don't want to use WB but I'm still after perfect emulation.

hola, por si no lo sabes existe un metodo para quitar los bordes de las ventanas, al menos en los "visualstyles", mira estos ejemplos:

en todo caso, el problema de las sombras que tienes es muy facil de solucionar, tan solo ve al panel de configuracion de y'z shadow , en "offsets to an inner side" selecciona algo como 4-5 pixeles, eso deberia, aunque no estoy 100% seguro, arreglar tu problema.

chaup!
