Making Separate Blind with just Full start menu

September 22, 2005 11:34:01 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Hi,
I uploaded a blind last night (With Love Series) that actually has 4 blinds in it. I made all of the menus compact, and chose not to do full start menus...mainly because of the size of the download...4mb. Now, I have been asked to include full start menus. I am more than willing to do this, but the consensus is that I should do this as a separate blind, because if I included those in the current skin, the download would approach 10mb! My question is this: How do I copy all the other blinds to another instance so I can change the menus to full size, and then save as a separate skin? If there was just one blind involved here, I know how to do that...but this blind actually has 4 blinds in it. It has me stumped!

Can anyone help me here?

That is a link to a tutorial on how to do it. Look at the bottom of the tutorial for the easy way. If done correctly the file size should not change very much. You should be able to include the additional substyles in the original file.

Night,
So, you are saying I can put the full start menus in there as additional substyles, and it won't increase the size much? I just assumed that everything would double! I know how to add substyles...have done that a lot with skins I have downloaded. Thanks for the input. I'll try that!

Night,
Thank you so much! It worked like a charm! And only added about 25 kb to the download! So, now, I need to upload the update.

Thank you so much for your help!
