Right_click help

Published on August 16, 2005 By gef In Community

Anyone know if there is any documentation regarding the *.ini file from the right-click menu system.
Also it states there are more skins available at Wincustomize - Where?

Hi Gef,

Don't know about the documentation regarding the *.ini file but I believe the "more skins" is referring to the setting under Edit Desktop Menu/Skins Tab and selecting "Use WindowBlinds Skin" which will give you the current WB skin use.

Hope this helps.

Not sure I've seen anything about the ini file..all I know is i've tried saving it when reinstalling then replacing the new installs ini with old ini..but, it made no difference and didnt save any settings.

Like Hankers said, there is a Skin tab in the " Menue Editor "
But it has only a few..I reskin my own..pretty easy. Open Right Click folder>WBSkinImport>SkinRepository....there you will find any WB right click menu skin..I just make a copy then paste it in the " Skin " folder and then I re-skin it. Then the new skin will be in the right click editor under the skin tab. Sometimes the Mouse over wont take the changes until you reboot. You probably knew all this ..but, maybe someone else might be interested since there are so few Menu Skins available.

They've actually included a Skin Editor (skintool.exe) with the latest release. It's located in the Rightclick directory. I tried to run it but it requires Net Framework V2.0 which I don't currently have installed. I'm a bit hesitant to install it since I'm not having any problems with Net Framework v1.1

I have tinkered with the .obskin file in order to fix the left margin which in earlier versions would not space correctly when some items had icons and others didn't. From my experience the item that you need to backup if you use the "Current Windowblinds Skin" is the popup.obskin file in the popup directory under WindowblindsSkin/currentskin. This is where the pertinent settings are located. The ini file as far as tweaking is concerned is relatively useless.

That little skin editor is really sweet. The right click menu, I believe, is a small little bit of ObjectBar. I use it to correct the text highlighting in the 'use windowblind skin' setting.

You can find some objectbar skins in that gallery and use it's right click settings. Don't know about the .ini file documentation.

I had trouble with 1.1 (user errors) and posted a request for help. Yrag gave me the link to 2.0, but after I unistalled 1.1 and installed 2.0, I found out paintnet needed 1.1.
Yrag told me not to uninstall 2.0 since it will run side by side with 1.1. Now I have both, haven't had any problems yet.

Thanks Bichur. I was worried I'd need to uninstall 1.1
