I forgot exact, what have change, but the main reason:

I Include CustomButtons (and so minimum OS is win98 ). So please try this one. A Skin-Tab in the Preferences is planed.

When you find a bug (old or new) please report.

Works just fine...

Shame the button bar has a yellow background

Doesn't look very nice under XP...

But the buttons look nice! (OSx look ehehehe)

Oh well, better hit the about box again...

--EDIT--

Btw, how did you build these nice gadgets?
I really love them and the highligth thingy on the check and radio boxes

That looks nice GPI... The design needs a little work, but your custombuttons/checkboxes work just fine

Nice work!

(I'm running XP Pro)

All are custombuttons (search in the forum), even the Toolbar are "normal" buttons.

One "Problem": Don't work under W95 (btw. i find, that the jaPBe now looks nicer, when i disable XP-Skin-Support ...)

Ok, Beta 3

A diffrent Toolbar-Skin and Closebox-Button, About works again and a skin-tab in the preferences.

Nice work GPI!

*gets to customizing*

My personal opinion...

It is much harder to see what the icons are, makes the interface look rather ugly and adds unnecessary bloat to the application.

Like XP, I really hope you include an option to disable all skins and have the normal Windows buttons back.

I would rather spend the time ripping out the skin/button code and recompiling back to the way it was, than waste time creating graphics for the interface.

Once again, this is just my own personal opinion.

That being said, I think GPI has created an excellent code editor for PureBasic and one can be much more productive using it. I certainly hope these unneeded additions to the interface don't ruin that.

@Paul
I agree that the toolbar is rather out-of-place.... I don't agree that it does much bogging down...
I would think that you of all people would like skins, since you promote them in your software?

But... Try my less-uglified version of the toolbar: here
(I think this version should be default)

I upload a "oldstyle"-Toolbar skin

PolyVector · Post by **PolyVector** » Sun Jun 13, 2004 5:43 pm

I just figured out why your toolbar looks out of place... Let me guess, you're using XP-Steel right GPI?
The toolbar looks strange in any other style...
You should include one like mine for the normal XP theme...
You'll probably also need one for win98/XP-Classic

Which one? The oldstyle?

Yes i use XP-Style (Silver). But the ToolBar looks not like every normal Toolbar. The hover effect of the normal style draws a boarder around the icon. My Toolbar-Icons rise and have then a shadow. It like OfficeXP, but there is draw a boarder two and this look ugly.

When you want a other Toolbar -> No problem, redesign (and share).

Btw: @all with the linker-Bug:
It seems, that this problem is gone. Can this confirm anybody?

I understand that it's custom and made to look that way, I'm talking about the background color mismatching the window... But no problem, as you said we can change/share

beta4 with little changes:

* For Classic-Style-XP-Users: Old-Style Buttons (ok, they a little bit rounded...)
* The Default-Button has now a bigger and bold font.
