Your SilverXP needs to use new undocumented LameSkin8 features which allow to change caption text shadow:

[Global]
ActiveShadow=0 (1 to enable - default)
ActiveShadowColor=R G B (0 0 0 - black by default)
InactiveShadow=0 (1 to enable)
InActiveShadowColor=R G B

WOW, I have to say, this is one of the best skins I have seen so far. But a little suggestion, you might want to alter the text colors a bit since they blend into the background, but otherwise this is a great theme. Thanks!

For the time being, you can actually fix that (by changing the text to black) by adjusting the following lines:

Open C:\windows\resources\SilverXP\Skin.ini

Look for:

TaskText=255 255 255
ClockText=255 255 255

Change to:

TaskText=0 0 0
ClockText=0 0 0

Save and then reselect SilverXP.

Thanks, it worked.

I agree with you, this is definitely one of the best LameSkins

I've just upgraded to the Lameskin preview, and updated my Vista Standard skin to work with it. Here it is:

I've finished a remarcable skin, it's a classic. And here it's a nice wallpaper to go with it: http://rapidshare.co...m4bliss2hf1.jpg


Thanx Tihiy for the suggestion.

^^ very nice. I suggest you to make active/inactive borders & title a bit more distinguishable.

New RP8 will contain all these themes?
IMHO it's useful to make a list.

may I ask why? The shadows seem to work for me...

Black text with black shadow?

Oh, that. I suppose lightning up the shadow would help a bit...

Tihiy, about the LameSkin 8 preview 3 for LameSkin 7, I'm having some trouble with old skins (i.e. the AeroBlue theme). It works for a while, but then everything touched by LameSkin gets all jumbled up and colors go crazy . If I switch to a skin with progress and scrollbar skinning support, though, it fixes itself. For now I just made my own, more compatible versions, but you may want to fix the .ini's for AeroBlue and Royale in the final version of LameSkin 8.

porting a windowblinds theme to lameskin? is that possible?

[marxo]

Well it won't look even close to the original...

That's true, it will not look like the original, because lameskin code it's more limited than the wb skinning engine, but the stuff that lameskin changes can be made almost exactly in the wb theme, of course with some light changes, the glow efect, the transparency level etc. . Anyway here is the lameskin version of the wb theme.

Nice . Another great skin enters the forums!

I'd posted this in the actual RP thread but seems it would have been better to be put here.

It's a basic remake of the windows 3.1 look. I don't have win3.1 available at the time to get full skinning ideas from so I'd to work from screenshots found on the web. The theme was designed to be as small in size as possible which is noticable through a trimmed down skin.ini and 16-colour bitmaps.

Caption button depressions and regular button depressions aren't available >.<
