Description First visual style to support Fadebar.

By ~nookian, modding LunaInspirat by ~krosavcheg

----------------------------------------------------------------


1. LunaInspirat VS mod for fadebar (+minor button modifications). LunaInspirat [link] is made by ~krosavcheg.

This LunaInspirat VS mod does not show windows buttons (close, min, max) by default (see the preview) so obviously, this VS is for pro only: you know exactly where the buttons are (even so, it takes me several minutes to get used to but once you are used to it, it's sweet)

2. Download fadebar from this link
[link]
and put the fadebar.ini in this package to where you put fadebar.exe. (Also, create a shortcut to fadebar.exe in the Startmenu to auto-activate fadebar when you logon). Check out the tips for setting taskbar button width from the link above.

3. If you use styler TB drop shadow feature, you need to use nobar shadow to avoid shadow under the taskbar; otherwise Styler will put a shadow below the transparent taskbar. If you do not use stylerTB drop shadow, this section can be ignored.

Put "styler\shadow\nobar" in the package into the stylerTB folder (usually c:\program files\styler\). Then select styler options > Desktop > Drop Shadow > nobar

4. Download the shutoff app from this link
[link]
and put the "whitecream" folder into the skins folder where you put shutoff. Set skin=Whitescream in shutoff.ini

is it just me or does it look kinda weird when you have maximized windows and you see the transparent gap??

The gap is intentionally. you can mod it to make it goes away if you like that way.

Absolutely love how the vs looks without the taskbar.

If you could make the black version of the luna inspirat fadebar compatible like this one, it would be greatly appreciated.

nookian In reply to Gazz27 [2008-12-04 18:28:07 +0000 UTC]

I use the blue one the black version is way down the list at the moment. You should give it a try to mod the black LunaInspirat following the instruction on the fadebar page.

I have the same problem. The start menu is black, I cannot see the items.

At the beginning it is ok, but if you click the start menu several times, it becomes black.

nookian In reply to shliyae [2008-12-03 17:32:44 +0000 UTC]

-do you use yzshadow as well as? it also make startmenu transparent and may cause double transparency.

- are you using XP SP3? I only tested on XP SP2 and XP SP3 may have some change in the way it draws startmenu. I click the startmenu dozen times continuously and have not experienced black startmenu so a screenshot would help me see what the problem looks like. Also, the submenu of the startmeu, not the startmenu, has slight flickering the first appear but subsequent use will be smooth).

For the moment, just turn of the startmenu transparency by setting them to off in the file fadebar.ini

try to turn off your web item on desktop and unlock "lock web item"

nookian In reply to tsphr1 [2008-12-10 05:09:34 +0000 UTC]

so what's exactly the problem? I don't use web item actually and don't have web item to try. It would be helpful if you provide a description of the problem as well.

why is a black line at the top of the taskbar? so i cant use it on the bottom of the desktop

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nookian In reply to MasterSP [2008-12-03 17:27:03 +0000 UTC]

long answer:

StylerTB has a problem with dropping transparent shadow (and stylerTB doesn't allow to turn off shadow for taskbar) so my initial thought was to put 1 line taskbar (I did this a while a go for my VS). This didn't work so then I make the taskbar shadow with transparency 1 (see the section on nobar for styler above). I carry this on to this VS mod but I've just checked again and actually, stylerTB doesn't have a problem with transparent taskbar, just transparent shadow. Note, this concerns stylerTB only.

short answer:

it has been fixed Download the updated version from the download link.

там ошибка с кнопкой помощи (например можно посмотреть в диалоге Свойства экрана, т.е. она появляется, если навести, но не исчезает потом

стиль хорош ну и неплохо бы другие расцветки.

Apparently, there's a bug with a help button... it appears when a mouse is over, but it doesn't come back to the hidden state.
