- ; A Windows 95 / 98 / NT4 Personality
- ; Created By John T. Folden (jtfolden@erinet.com) 12.30.98/updated 03.11.99
- ; For use ONLY with WindowBlinds .50 (or higher) by Stardock Systems, Inc.
- ; This is a .UIS Version 2 file
-
- Controls:
- Left titlebar Button - minimize
- Right titlebar Button - close
- Titlebar - double-left mouse click to roll-up/roll-down
- single-right mouse click to maximize/restore
-
- This skin comes with a choice of 4 different titlebar colors.
- You can change to one of them by running the batch files found
- in the NeXTSTEP-JTF directory. After running the batch file you will
- need to re-apply the skin in WB. The color and batch file names are:
-
- Black
- BlueMetal
- Burgundy
- GrayMetal
-
- To fully use all the features of this skin, you may wish to enable
- the following in WB Setup:
-
- On the Settings Tab: Check the top 4 options.
- On the Backgrounds Tab: Check both bitmap options, UNcheck Stretch to Fit
- On System Tab: Check the options for Icon Text Background Transparent
- and Use Bitmap Backgrounds.
- ---------------------------
- BUG ALERT: Due to a bug in public versions of WB .50 you may have to manually
- choose the bitmap backgrounds on the Backgrounds Tab.
- ---------------------------
- Recommended Titlebar Font is Tahoma or Verdana 9pt.
- WhileUnder Display Properties/Appearance change the color of 3D Objects,
- Menus and Windows to a color of R:192 G:192 B:192
- If you'd like a NeXTSTEP background color set the Desktop
- to a custom color of R:85 G:85 B:119 or use the enclosed wallpaper.bmp
- ---------------------------
- NOTE: If you'd prefer having access to your titlebar menu modify the following
- in the included UIS file:
-
- Comment out the line "RightClickAction = 1"
-
- If you don't like the gradient menu bar bitmap. Rename menu.bmp to menu0.bmp
- and rename menu1.bmp to menu.bmp.
