Start Menu shadow and Fonts for Classic Widgets.

As far as I've been able to determine, Sks6 does not rename images on import. That means I have to make a new image for every single element. Take for example I make a button image and import it. Then I use the same image in another section. If I edit the one image in any way then it changes the other section as they share the same image.

Also on import the checkbox for "re import if disk copy changes" is by default checked, so one has to remember to uncheck that every time

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about these things

Still using 6 just have to find somethings in 5 and edit uis.

I used SKS6 for my first blind. SKS5 seems to be more difficult, to me. I did have to use SKS5 however, to move the username text to exactly where I wanted it and to remove the start panel shadow.

So it sounds to me that overall, people aren't very happy with 6 so far. I've been pretty happy with 5 up until now, but was hoping to get some more Vista skinning elements. But I don't want to have to switch back and forth between them. That's too bad. (

I skin XP 100% in SKS5.. move over to SKS6 for Vista substyles. Works out well.

Given a choice.. 5 is far easier imo. Quicker too.. not being able to click an image and go directly to the section is a massive drawback in 6 for me. Far too much navigating compared to click and there in 5.

Regardless.. thanlks to Neil for giving us what we have to use.

Try saving .tga's directly to the skin folder as opposed to converted png's via import.

I didnt mean to sound like an ugrate in my last response to wb6.....i kind of think i did, so I would like to rephrase my comment......i DO like sk6, but i do find it hard to navigate. I also use sk5 to check my skin and make sure its okay...... I also want to thank Neil for the hard work he has put into wb6 to make it possible for us to even be able to skin vista.

The ability to enable/disable Start Menu Shadow is now in SKS6.   

If your wanting to do Vista then you really have no choice...SKS6.
You can install both versions if you need them.

Been away from skinning for awhile, but I have been thinking about jumping back in. I did download & tried 6, but felt completely lost. I think if I do decide to get back in, it will have to be with 5. You say you can switch back and forth between the two? Each will open the other's files?

Yes. I use SKS6 primarily and only occasionally open SKS5. Glad to see you back geyster.

Just make sure u save in 6, then close.. before openeing up in 5 and vie versa.

Sage advice...trust it.  

Actually the save option in the current SKS6 builds does nothing at all.
