Hoping someone will be kind enough to test a skin.

Thanks Koasati. I'm having trouble with my email server. The smtp server is down and I can't send anything, although I can recieve email.

Here is the gist of the reply I've been trying to send you for the last 15 minutes:

"Great to know it works. That was really troubling me. Thanks for the help Randy. And thanks for the bitmaps of the other problems. I'll work on those before final upload. Probably they are just a margin adjustment problem.

Once again, thanks for the help on this. I should have it ready to upload by the end of the week.

motion"


Hopefully, you will read this thread. Thanks again for taking the time to help me with this.

You're sending fine............ received 2 of each email...... 

Ahh, my ISP is all screwy then. Keeps tellin' me that there was an error in sending and that the connection has been broken. A glitch at their end I think.....I hope?

motion....I thought I'd listed the problem for you on that other thread....

Yeah Jafo, you pointed me in the right direction, but once I had worked on the problem and got to a point where I thought it was fixed I had to have someone test it again...someone other than myself, seeing as the problem never showed itself on my system the first time it happened.

Thanks for your help too. The good part is, the skin seems to be working now. The bad part is that Koasati found a couple of small glitches that have me scratching my head again. However, they are minor glitches compared to the original problem. I should have them ironed out by the end of the week. I hope?

if you like, I'd be willing to take a look

Thanks you IPlural. I'll take you up on your offer. Check your inbox. Should be there right about now.

I've loaded it up on my laptop which is the system I have been sticking with of late. The only thing I've noticed so far is that the title bar on the ends where it is supposed to be smooth and rounded is jagged edged. It might have to do with having Anti-aliasing turned on.

I know it smooths edges text and graphics by partially filling the edge pixels to the next closest pixel. But for some reason or another it can cause the off color blended pixels to be removed because they blend into the magic background magenta for some reason, or they end up dropped for another reason and I haven't figured out exactly why yet....

It could also be the resolution I am running at, 1024x768 32bit true color...?

Other than that looks sweet and all seems to work fine and the colors contrast in an easy to look at way so your eyes are not straining

I'll leave it loaded up and run it for a bit tonight and tomarrow to see if anything un told happens and let you know in an email.

oh, I would probably consider some earth tone sub skins and also maybe a carbon style and or metal of some sort. The layout and design looks like it would go very well with some darker schemes and blend nicely with some of the darker cursors and icons if you do not plan to put those together also?

Thanks again IPlural. I'll work on the things you suggested above. Looks like this will take longer than previously thought. Best to do it right.

Thanks again.
