So!  I've got a major update for you guys.  After reinstalling WSB again, I actually got to work on another theme- based off of my most current mockup's dark theme.  I think it's a lot sleeker, and I improved the usability by using more contrast.  I think you guys will definitely like what I've done so far.  Surprisingly enough, I'm actually ALMOST done. :D  However, I'm a perfectionist, so it will probably be a week or two before I release it because I'd like to have as few bugs as possible.  Then, of course, if you find some afterwards, you ca ]]> http://vanessabanessa89.deviantart.com/journal/WSB-is-Not-Playing-Nice-Right-Now-277860027 http://vanessabanessa89.deviantart.com/journal/WSB-is-Not-Playing-Nice-Right-Now-277860027 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:52:06 PST WSB is Not Playing Nice Right Now. nonadult journals/personal vanessabanessa89 http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/v/a/vanessabanessa89.jpg?1 Copyright 2012-2013 ~vanessabanessa89 http://vanessabanessa89.deviantart.com/journal/Theme-Update-3-276418665 http://vanessabanessa89.deviantart.com/journal/Theme-Update-3-276418665 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 01:20:13 PST Theme Update 3 nonadult journals/personal vanessabanessa89 http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/v/a/vanessabanessa89.jpg?1 Copyright 2011-2013 ~vanessabanessa89

Anyway, so check it.  Everything is going a lot more smoothly now that I've discovered how to properly import photos into WSB so that they'll automatically resize themselves.  I've also gotten the hang of sizing-margins, which, after a proper explanation, wasn't that difficult to grasp since I was able to relate it somewhat to CSS.  So, theming lately has been a LO ]]> http://vanessabanessa89.deviantart.com/journal/Theme-Update-274770132 http://vanessabanessa89.deviantart.com/journal/Theme-Update-274770132 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:01:29 PST Theme Update nonadult journals/personal vanessabanessa89 http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/v/a/vanessabanessa89.jpg?1 Copyright 2011-2013 ~vanessabanessa89
Okay, so far so good.  I've mainly been extracting the images from my PSD and organizing them into folders so that I can easily import them into WSB when I'm ready.  That's not really the hard part.  Neither is importing said images- but it's the effing margins that kill me, ESPECIALLY when  it comes to the DWM windows.  I really don't understand the concept of sizing margins, and that's probably what's holding me back.  I guess I'll do some research and hopefully fain a better understanding that will make this so much easier to achieve.  Everything else is self-explanatory for the most part.

I've decided to give it another try because I love having the best of both worlds.  There are several "apps" that Mac OS X has, that are unavailable to me in Windows, and vice-versa.  Windows is definitely the OS to go to for all my gaming needs, although I'll probably try installing some of my favorite games on my mac installation too, just to see if I can get them working.

For someone who's never created a full-fledged theme in WSB before, I must say that the task is pretty daunting.  That, and for some reason, after I test my theme, I can't save, import or export anything without restarting the program.  I find this incredibly annoying.

Anyway, I'd be at a loss if it weren't for this guide http://virtualcustoms.net/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=2139 over at Virtual Customs.  My hero, seriously.

I figure that a lot of what I'm going to be doing is trial and error since this is my first time using the software.  Hopefully it gets easier from here on out.

If you're going to post a screenshot, why do you do so without publishing credits?  Can you please just save us the trouble of asking what every single little element is and just provide us with this information up front?  I mean, you know users are going to ask about it anyway (that's the point, isn't it?) so why not beat them to the punch?  We don't want to have to ask and then wait for a response.  It just seems more practical to prove this information from the get go and save your fans the trouble. >_>

Hopefully, a year from now, I'll be chalking out Visual Styles left and right, and will have made a little bit of a name for myself on here. :)  That would be my goal.

So, I guess the first step is to learn the Win7 Style Builder Software inside and out so that I can begin making themes with ease.  My only question (to anyone who's reading and is familiar with the software)- how do you know the size of the graphics ]]> http://vanessabanessa89.deviantart.com/journal/Back-to-Good-Ol-Windows-7-219241246 http://vanessabanessa89.deviantart.com/journal/Back-to-Good-Ol-Windows-7-219241246 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 23:52:03 PDT Back to Good Ol' Windows 7. nonadult journals/personal vanessabanessa89 http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/v/a/vanessabanessa89.jpg?1 Copyright 2011-2013 ~vanessabanessa89 http://vanessabanessa89.deviantart.com/journal/Okay-So-Here-s-the-Deal-219288276 http://vanessabanessa89.deviantart.com/journal/Okay-So-Here-s-the-Deal-219288276 Sat, 23 Apr 2011 04:13:22 PDT Okay, So Here's the Deal. nonadult journals/personal vanessabanessa89 http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/v/a/vanessabanessa89.jpg?1 Copyright 2011-2013 ~vanessabanessa89 http://vanessabanessa89.deviantart.com/journal/Writing-This-From-My-New-Hackintosh-DD-219298104 http://vanessabanessa89.deviantart.com/journal/Writing-This-From-My-New-Hackintosh-DD-219298104 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 16:23:04 PDT Writing This From My New Hackintosh! :DD nonadult journals/personal vanessabanessa89 http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/v/a/vanessabanessa89.jpg?1 Copyright 2011-2013 ~vanessabanessa89
