Do you still need hosting?

[WildBill]

C01eMaN's link works, but you need to copy/paste it. I'll repost it here to try to make it a little easier:

TClock3 0.1.0 beta

Thanks for the offer, though

Hey WildBill,

I played with TClock3 and found only a few glitches with transparent desktop icon text. Nothing that couldn't be fixed with a refresh.

Only one thing, I haven't been able to set the clock skin, I have:

under Tray/Clock Fill = Skin Clock and my taskbar.bmp

under Full Skinning / Clock = Alpha and Tray/Clock Fill

Well that's what I have now, I have tried most combinations. Any ideas. What size of bmp is it expecting?

[WildBill]

Yeah that's a bug I haven't figured out yet. For now on my boxes I have Tray/Clock Fill/Fill Style set to Skin Tray and Full Skinning/Clock/SkinSource set to Task Buttons, frame=1. QuickLaunch and Task buttons WindowBlinds .bmp files have 6 frames each, and you can use any one of them for the tray skin.

If you can get this to work, how about a screenshot? The board will accept .jpg images up to 150k in size

Weird. I tried to capture the desktop with AnalogX Capture and all I get is a white taskbar,start button etc.

What software do you use to grab an image?

[WildBill]

I just do Ctrl-Prtsc and paste into Paint.

[Squeeto]

Well, this is first run. Haven't any grabbers yet but looks good so far.

Still haven't skinned the clock face tho.

[WildBill]

Nice. I can't wait to see what you can do with it and how it treats you.

It looks like your skin might be similar to mine. Here are some of the Full Skinning settings I use. Maybe they'll help you get started:

General

---------

(CHECKED) Enable different alpha values for different components

Clock

------

Alpha = 160

Alpha blending = MagicPink (because I'm using the task buttons image to skin the tray)

SkinSource = Task buttons

Frame = 1

Tray Extra Padding.top = 2

Tray Extra Padding.bottom = 2

QuickLaunch

--------------

Alpha blending = MagicPink

Button width = 16

Button height = 24

Alpha.Active = 255

Alpha.Inactive = 160

Alpha.Active MouseOver = 255

Alpha.Inactive MouseOver = 255

Sizing margins = 2, 12, 2, 16

Rebar arrows

---------------

Alpha = 255

Alpha blending = MagicPink

Rebar grippers

-----------------

Alpha = 255

Alpha blending = MagicPink (for both)

Sizing margins (horizontal) = 2, 2, 2, 2

Sizing margins (vertical) = 3, 2, 3, 2 <-- note the difference ... it's because the .bmp file for my skin is a little different

Start button

--------------

Alpha blending = Alpha <-- the image my WB skin uses is a .TGA file with real alpha values, which I have set in the main Start Button page under "icon"

X,Y offset = 0, 0 <-- lets you have the start button be offset from the edge of the taskbar

(CHECKED) Use WB-format skin

Alpha = 255 for all

Taskbar

---------

Alpha = 160

Height = 30 <-- important value: depends on the skin you use

Sizing bar.alpha = 160

Task buttons

---------------

Alpha blending = MagicPink

Text color = white

Alpha = 255 for all <-- just what I do at the moment, you have lots of freedom here

Sizing margins = 2, 14, 2, 15

Also, in the main Tray/Clock fill tab, I have Fill Style set to "skin tray".

My task button and quicklaunch sizing margins are different, which probably isn't right on my part. It's something that has to be tailored for each skin.

Hmm the link seems to be broken again. Would anyone else care to host this?

[Kramy]

I just found this, and it looks really neat! I thought I should inform you of a bug though.

http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/769/

If you launch folder windows in separate processes, re-launching explorer opens My Documents(if you have another folder opened). That means the UI never shows up again, instead showing you...your documents. I just closed all windows before refreshing until I figured that out.

Time to play!

This is an intersting app. Am trying it out now...

[WildBill]

Nice. I'm looking forward to hearing how it works for you. I have a 0.1.5 that I'm working on that should fix some of the display glitches but I want to work on it some more before posting it.

[Two_toNe]

Have'nt had a chance to play with this yet, but looks very interesting. Glad to finally see someone do something with my source. Keep up the good work.

[Squeeto]

Have'nt had a chance to play with this yet

WildBill has left it open source..
