there is a way to run it in memory but I forget how to do it.
Panda-x showed me how
but that was long ago

I hate to ask/request again, but if there is a command line to start the tool after launch/disable logging, it would be incredible useful

take care and Happy New Year
-Chris

thx sounds promising

is there any progress on this tool? the memory leak (think it has something to do with the logging) has to be fixed and a few options for run as service etc. would be nice

Code:

#NoTrayIcon
#Persistent
#NoEnv
#SingleInstance, Force
SetWorkingDir, %A_ScriptDir%
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
OnExit, Cleanup
SysGet, TBarHeight, 4

there is an autohotkey script somewhere

thanks

Thank you all,

I experimented with shadow and glow and now I've a very nice compromise, it's a real shame that it is not a real shadow, but it still looks nice.

nope, nothing changes

it's set to 16

okay that's not an issue, I'm using Museo

Hi @ all,

I'm trying to add a small shadow (1-2px underneath the text) to the taskbar clock text, I already tried with textglow etc...
but I still can't get a satisfying result and the textshadow option seems to have no effect.

Is there a stylehack available or am I using the wrong settings?

Composited:Bool | check
Textshadowoffset:Position | 2,2
Textshadowcolor:Color | black
Textshadowtype:Enum | Single

Thanks
-Chris

I don't like it, its slow and the weirdest part is the border around the render window, sometimes its there and sometimes its gone, and it has still his problems with w3c rules/standards.

stick to Chrome, but I really dig the latest FF4 betas

Okay I tested it and its great, explorer.exe works too, but only if you kill it, start resource spy and start explorer.exe again

great tool, now it needs an option to run as a service and starts automatically before login


//edit
or is there a command line option to start the app, then I could make a service myself


//edit2
and maybe disable the logging, after a few hours the app almost eats up over 200mib of Ram, when I click "clear" its back to 6mib

in the video I think I saw why you can't change the explorer etc.

the resource spy app has to run before the modified application, but the explorer is always one of the first apps
maybe if you could run resource spy as a service, you could modify the explorer.exe too...

ciao

utorrent uses a invert/dim system

its hard to explain, if you change your classic colours to white for example, some borders and lines are black, I've seen this in utorrent and notepad2 I think, you've just to change the colours a little bit, and watch the result

  and now we are back at the beginning, open icon hidden/view icon hidden
maybe its just not possible to show the view icon if the open icon is hidden 

have a nice and relaxing evening
-Chris

//Edit
but now I thought about it, and its actually a great idea if you could hide the preview pane and help icon.
Is it possible to hide them too?

no its the same like rajtheeban's

the open icons are only hidden for folders and libraries, not for files

LOL
okay now the view icons are back, but the open icon is still there

ONLY
on folders and libraries the icons are hidden! but thanks for the cool slide effect in the info panel

pretty please for bugfix
-Chris

But I've a small problem with the shellstyle
now the "View" icons are gone too

is it possible to hide the open with icon, but show the view icons?

take care
-Chris

its not in the theme

here is a remover
http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/879012-universal-focus-rectangle-remover-updated/

U just need to make a small close button in the image, you know make the right side blank

Do you've a 64bit windows?

Yes? then you've to edit the explorerframe for 32bit too

yeah its a little bit better but still not the same

its nice but not the same, besides isn't the font in the caption also Segoe UI regular

Hi there, does anybody know how to smooth the font just like in the titlebars

yeah yeah I know GDI++, but that doesn't work with x64 and its not that good...
I add an example, as you can see the text in the foobar titlebar is much smoother than in the playlist

thanks in advance
-Chris

yeah still have it too, its really annoying and almost impossible to create a VS this way 

I hope its getting fixed soon

okay thanks, doesn't make much sense though :confused:

I added a image so you can see what I mean

you see on the left side there is border, this border has a width of 2px but in the saved VS there is only 1px border visible

Hi @all,

I finally have some time to create my own VS, instead of simple mod some others
but I find it very strange, I create some images and imported them to 7SB, and when I tested them they look really distorted, then I started a new one and opened some images and is it normal that every single one has a double border?

After I saved the VS there are no 2px borders like in the close buttons for example. In the image there is border around the main border with the exact same colours and width.

ahh thanks, good to know

I don't know if this is a bug or just my stupidity but I installed some themes with Avestyler and FYI the themes are not in the Windows folder they are on my data drive (for backup reasons)
but after a while I delete some themes from my HD.

Anyway they still in the Avestyler list and I can't delete them because they are not longer on the HD.
How can I remove them from the Avestyler list without the real files.

thanks
-Chris

okay I understand your problem, but I think that more users want to make them smaller not bigger

//edit
Ohhh  I thought it would be a permanent solution, but after a restart the settings are gone

Ohh cooooool, this is exactly what I was looking for, works great, thanks

ohh thank you I would never have thought of that, I reinstalled N++ the day I tested the Clearscreen theme
and I gave the blame to this poor skin

thank you very much
-Chris

Have a nice evening =)

Since I installed the Clearscreen theme a few days ago, I had this weird menu bug, I read its not final but I test it anyway, its works great, until I saw that the file right click context menu isn't skinned anymore

here are some pics, as you can see the folder context menu is fine, just not for the file menu, don't know why

Hi,
want to ask is it possible to resize the close button, for example I want to create round shapes for all the caption buttons, same size for all three,
but then the close button
1. has to much space
2. is too much to the left or right
3. plain ugly

I tested it and just made the image smaller, but then the VS resizes the image and made the same big even more ugly fat button

Thanks and have a nice day
-Chris

I think I narrowed down, why this save bug thingy happens.

If I use the test button/or the "Use the VS" after saving, saving won't work anymore, this happens with AveStyler too, if I add and delete some VS to the list, I can't open the install dialog anymore *confused*

hope this helps

 

still have this save bug, after I edited some images it wont show the save dialog

[I had this dialog open problem and want to be a beta tester.]

Hi there,

I had this dialog open problem and want to be a beta tester.

About the startbutton, I think it should be part of avestyler/stylebuilder, I think a lot of people would be happy about it and since I bought the two apps, it would be very kindly of you
so much for the customer satisfaction...

take care
-Chris

My experience is that it works just fine under Win 7. But you have to implement the fix mentioned here about the FirstImageId first. After that any themes worked on previously should be resaved.

I did that and I think it has nothing to do with the crashing of VSB
