Calling WB Skinners A new kind of WB Request

so basically you just want a trapezoid instead of a rectangle as taskbar background?

yep that's it, but with the start button & systray icons vertical also in blue in the style of my favourite skin Acrylic 7 by danillioOc

If at all possible. I haven't seen any skins like that

Thumbs up for the most nicely worded request I ever read. I would , but you would loose everything when switching to a vertical taskbar , or at the least the illusion you are going for. everything would be hanging off the side rather than sitting on top like a shelf. Or i miss your intent?If so, elaborate on concept.

To be honest I wasn't sure how to word it, just trying to be civil as in RL whenever asking for something from someone.

No doortech1, you are quite correct. However I'm not bothered about loosing on the vertical as I never move the taskbar that way. Or do you mean that you would loose it permanently?

you're the WindowBlinds skinner, but do vertical taskbars not get skinned separately in WindowBlinds anyways? 

hello Maverick I can provide the .msstyle file I modded and used in my screenshot preview

maybe there is the way to convert it to a .wba file (alwyas and only for personal use)

any way the Navy original VisualStyle by teschio is for XP

btw which OS are you using ?

Hi Frankell, nice of you to help me again (took your suggestion & reached out) . The ms style would be great for now. I use win7 x64.

Ultimately though a WB would be ideal as I said in post 2 I tend to use blue WB's currently using the excellent southern lights wallpaper with acrylic 7. But a big thankyou anyway, I look forward to trying it out.

Yes.

Yes, the vert is separate,no, you would not loose everything.I have an idea for the vert anyhow, thinking clipped on look, or hanging somehow for the vertical buttons.I have a great blind{my opinion} in the works, and did a mock up taskbar and buttons, but do not do the photobucket thing and am unsure of how to display to you all to opine on.Could email someone the blind if they wanted to post it. Pm me any interested.

Just pm'd you. I have photobucket so I can share. Thanks v much for agreeing to this. Very good of you

I pm'd you, email addy no good?Maybe a typo?

Got visuals to share, need ur help maverick, lost on how to upload images.Thanks.

ok Pm'd you again. have you tried http://tinygrab.com/

Stuff sent. Could not do tiny grab without net framework 4, I have dial up and would take days to download 48mb, so I still need assistance, sorry.

I was just reading your opening post again, what ever do you mean, this is real life, all else is trivial,lol.I would quit my job if this paid better!Love skinning, work just  gets in the way.

I didn't say this is real life, I said people are busy with real life, but I get what you mean I guess it depends what you do for a living.

Here's my current desktop which I love to give you an idea, just would like taskbar trapezoid (z-axis) like objectdock does

ok fixed sorry everyone v embarrassed

Yes, I know, I say this is real, my work is a hobby. I was just implying I like this better is all.

are you getting my emails Brian?

Looked at your desktop, you may be happy with what I sent, but if you need more freeform on the taskbar, let me know.

Apologies to anyone who took offense to me classifying myself as a great artist per the posters opening statement!lol,someday though.

hey doortech1 I really would like to have a look at the finished skin, let post the screenshot please !
