W B shutdown button text fix & when will WB update come ?

I don´t want to upload more Blinds with it there

To whom it may concern:

 

-About the Start 8 shutdown button text. Can anyone please give a relevant update on this issue ?

Will there be a fix to take the text away in the near future. :maybe: :sun:

Hopefully the next WB update (not Start8) will add in exposing that information to Start8. On Windows 7 it isn't needed as WB handles all the text itself.

Quoting Neil Banfield, reply 45She is probably using the Vista theme parts which do not have text painted on them.Well, of this I don´t understand anything...How can you use "Vista parts" on a Win 8 skin ??  Ah well,

When can we expect to see an apropriate Windowblinds update then ?

If a skin has a Vista sub-style with the logoff buttons created and then you create a Windows 7 sub-style and DO NOT create the logoff buttons, the Windows 7 sub-style will use the appropriate parts of the Vista logoff buttons.  If the shutdown text was shifted off the button area in Vista, it will not show up in Windows 7, or Windows 8. Sounds weird I know, but then again... it's SKS. ;)

So shifting the text off works for Vista buttons, but not for 7 buttons ?? o_O

The Vista buttons never had text which is why text does not appear.

WindowBlinds will fall back to older sections when newer ones are missing, so if the Win7 buttons are missing it uses the Vista ones.

So SKS kinda works like excel does =If(win8button=0;use_win7button;useVistabutton)
will it crash if you remove all the buttons save and apply or will it fall back to xp / windows standart ?

It'll have to be tested before it's issued...but the answer Uvah gave is correct in spirit.
