all skins or some skins?

From Neil Banfield on another thread

I have also found that the reverse is true, if the titlebar height is short, the quicklaunch & system tray icons will reduce in size

or if the taskbar fonts are too big

I used the same skins in Vista 32 bit and everything was fine. Itæs only affecting 64bit Vista.

Yep, covered in quote from Neil, it is not an issue running 32 bit Vista.

Yep, I have had that also Rob, had a skin with a height of like 8 or so, could hardly see tray and quick launch icons.

Here's a dumb question... Does anyone know why the two are related?

- forgive my ignorance is if this is an easy question, I'm still a bit of noob when it comes to using skinstudio, why would titlebar height be related to taskbar quicklaunch & system tray icon size? I just don't see the connection. I know that they are somehow related as we shown the cause/effect above but I'm just curious as to why, not really a complaint just a question.


While we're at (I don't mean to hijack this thread), does anyone know anything about adding a background image to the text displayed on the taskbar. I can add an image and it stretches with the titlebar text but the left & right sides of the image get blurred due to the stretching, I've seen some blinds that make use of a bkgrnd image behind the titlebar text that somehow have gotten around this problem but I'm stumped as to how they achieve this effect. Playing around with the margins doesn't seem to help, stretching it in skinstudio makes it appear fine but when actually applied it doesn't look as nice. Does this only work with per-pixel windowframes?
