Borderless Milk Redux?

Okay so I followed the Borderless msstyle guide and for some reason just could get it to work out properly. :(

My caption border wasn't straight.. and more interestingly perhaps when I moved a window I would get a residual image around the edge of what was behing the window.. this stays no matter what I do..

Anyways just wondering if anyone had had more luck than me.. :P

:lol: haha, me too. I tried that earlier today and my close button became twice it's size. :rant: I followed the directions step by step too. I've done it before right on other mods but for some it just doesn't work out unless you try different things. I'm sure there's an easier way somehow but I don't know it. :banging:

Heh.. phew good to know I'm not alone.. from the responses in the thread is seems to be a simple process so I think I'll give it a try on another theme (SS4 Gloss) and see if it's me or simply the theme thats cause the issues.

EDIT: Well that was a lot easier so it seems like there's something special about milk.

0 pixel border... isnt it sexy? GOOD job on it!!! i am getting more and more encouraged to mod some themes myself to have 0 pix border or 1 pix border which looks amazing too ;)

It looks awesome...

My only problem is if it limits my resizing ability in any way - am I right in thinking you can only resize by clicking on the window menu and choosing "Size" from there?

If not, I may have to do it ;)

offtopic: I like the iTunes skin you're using, lid... Whoever made it must be really great <_<

It really does look good Stevie. And pretty easy to mod a theme it seems.. well usually anyway.. ;)

Just seems to be the new milk giving me issues..:/

As for resizing, as you said the easiest way is by right clicking on the caption bar and selecting size and going from there. It seems that you can also resize using a normal diagnonal arrow in the top right corner of the window. It's quite a small area that you have to highlight first though but works just as before in that corner. Also if you've got the statusbar enabled you can resize at the bottom right corner too.

Yeah the iTunes skin looks great, fantastic job with that for sure (Y). Hey just one little issue though, for me anyway :6. Everytime I restart WMP the skin seems to move up.. It keeps on doing this until it reaches the top taskbar and then open underneath it. Running it again at the point and it appears just below again and then back under.. Very odd... :blink: Still prefer is over Windows iTunes though :shy: .. heh

It really does improve the overall look in my opinion and pretty simple to do. Thankfully it doesn't suffer from some of the more annoying bugs of shellwm, the big one for me being compatibility with windows picture and fax viewer.

Only real asthetic oddity is the position of the SysButton at the top left. Although it's still in the bar it's quite close to the left of the caption bar.. but I can live with that >.<

I'm probably gonna give 0 or 1 pixel borders a go now...

As for my skin, I haven't a clue why it does that, although I get the same bug on my machine (but I don't notice it, because I use iTunes/Win). Unfortunately, I doubt it will be getting fixed within the next few months at least (if at all) - I don't use it any more, and I can't see any improvements I can make that are worth the effort of a new release, and the only bugs with it are things that I can't fix or that are so minor it's again not worth fixing.

Look out for another Stevie BM production in the (not so) near future... And no, it's not a skin for anything -_-

Whoa!!.. I don't think that was called for :blink: .. I said how I thought the skin was great and was just wondering.. in passing.. whether he had experienced the same little issue.

I had thanked him in the original thread too... :wub: look forward to you next project.. :woot:

#85523

:lol: No, no no, dont get me wrong, i didnt mean it like that, it was not a rude comment at all, it was just a comment as i saw what Stevie went trough in his thread :( .

Dont take things so seriously :P:rolleyes:

#85550

Ok, I tried 0 pixel, and I really cannot stand not being able to resize using borders...

And I can't get 1 pixel borders to work...

But then, I'm no skinner. Tips?

#85561

Hmm.. just wondering if anyone has had any luck?

:(
