I just started using the app, and all the features are great. However when I create a new orb and try to load it, it appears to large on the taskbar and a little of the top is clipped off until I click on it. I was wondering if there was any way I could fix this.
Thanks in advance for the help.
You would have to manually edit the image and "pad" it so the image size is the same but the content is reduced.
The next build will allow you to easily adjust the size with ease.
I just uploaded version 2.0a.
It has some cool new options.
The 2 biggest things are:
Start Orb Projects, so you can continue working on your start orbs.
Windows Vista support. Before you get all excited, this is limited. Not all orbs will work properly. I found that EXPLORER.EXE converts the png to bmp to be used as a start button. Because of this we run into that old issue where pngs didnt convert properly to bmps. I have no fix for this. Vista users will either have to create orbs with no "glows" or use Genuine Creations that also do not have a "glow". Im just glad I was able to do it. You still need to manually "patch" the proper theme files.
Enjoy!!!
thanks
Just thought this program might be useful to some people:
AlphaConv.zip
It converts between 32 bit tga, bmp and png formats while properly preserving the alpha channel. To use it, just open the program, select the format you want to convert to, then drop your image into the program window.
