What do you mean with "switching"?

#313971

Sorry i should have been more descriptive in my first post...On that theme the minimize, maximize and close buttons are on the left and i was wondering if i could move them to the right.

you need Skinstudio from stardock.

Ok i got Skinstudio but im unsure how to actually do it.

#314017

click on one of the buttun images then change the orientation (top right, top left, etc) then change how far from the edge in pixels. There are four or five images per button, you will have to do this for all images. If you fuq up delete the whole thing and redownload and start over.

How do i change the orientation? I don't understand it.

I think the best way to learn the program is to just open it up and mess around, worked for me.

I have been trying but still no luck :( Is there any tutorial showing me how to?

Ok in skin studio once you've opened the skin you want to mod, go to:

windows borders->Titlerbar Buttons

there you'lle see all the button of the skin in any state they can be (i guess you've already found this)if you clik any button, then you have a panel on your left with "titlebar button/alignement/actions/basic options, etc..."

in alignement you must put "relative to top lfet of window" but if you do this you nedd to move the button on the X axis, just below the option "relative to top left", you have button offset, for the close button, try 6, 6 for the maximize 48 and minimize 27, but these value depends of the theme, size of the buttons, etc...

Screenshot

Ok I'll try to make this as easy as I can.

1: Open screenshot in another window so you can see what I'm talking about.

In Skinstudio..

2: Click on the button you wish to change (1), on the left you will see 15-16 button.. you have to change them all. Usually I delete the system icon so there are only 15 icons.

3: On the right you will see a heading Alignment (2) this is the place where you change it. Click on the words "the relative to the top right of window" Now look where the (3) is and you should have a drop down list, select left side.. it should be the one right at the top of the list.

4: Now click on the button offset.. just under the "the relative to the top right of window" you will have to change the horizontal numbers.

Don't forget to do them all :)

Hope this helps,

Cheers
