    Windows Dark and Highlight Archives Colour Bug
    C

    Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 with some updates but WU is Disabled blame MS
    PowerArchiver Toolbox 2015 v15.04.03

    Choose to use “Windows Dark” skin, Go into “Configuration” and select “Highlight archives” change from Black to any other colour, click OK twice I think.

    Powerarchiver applies the new colour to archives briefly but then returns to Black again!

    Ugly progress bar with old skins
    MerowingerM

    Hello!

    When I use one of the older skins of PA 2018 in the new 2019 version the progress bar looks pretty ugly.
    It looks better with the new skins but I prefer the old ones.

    How to (or can we) use old buttonbars with 2018 skins?
    PA_FanP

    I still have a fondness for the very old buttonbars to be found at http://www.powerarchiver.com/skins/toolbar/.

    Up until (I think) PA2017 it was possible to use them with the more recent skins, but I haven’t yet been able to work out a way, or the right combination, to do so with PA2018.

    It’s not exactly the end of the world if the old bars can no longer be used, but I’m curious to know if they still can.

    I have had to reinstall PA 2016. I can now change to any of the included skins (Classic, etc.) but cannot use any of the downloaded skins (in the SKIN folder or obtained by double clicking on the download). Any ideas, please?

    PA - Preferred Skin ?
    RJWaringR

    Hi All,

    Currently PowerArchiver 2011/12 hosts;

    1 default Classic Toolbar and 20+ downloadable skins via website.

    The user can also select 6 preinstalled Ribbon interfaces ranging from office 2007/10 with Black, Silver and Blue.

    So significantly more classic old style than modern.

    Do you as a PowerArchiver User prefer Ribbon or Classic?

      I thought I would start and maintain a thread related to my skins. Since the site doesn’t maintain a “Last Updated” I’ll post news and changes here.

      This is the place if you want to submit feedback, ideas and of course problems.

      Current Skins
      SmoothVista, SmoothLime, LongHorn, Slate & Poisoned

      News
      (i) Currently I am working on two new skins and also performing numerous fixes and enhancements to existing skins.

      One issue in particular I am taking care of is the drop down arrow button located net to the Open button. I’ve managed to make it pretty slim in size allowing more space on the toolbar. So all skins will be updated by the end of the month.

      (ii) Aside from one skin author who loves rating 1’s on all my skins, I have gotten some great feedback from other users! So regardless, I will continue creating skins and I am looking forward to any and all feedback.

      (iii) Suggestions for icons and toolbar images. Icons are the hardest thing to do IMHO. Mostly because creating an icon that represents “compression” while looking different from other apps is a challenge. So what do you think?

      Toolbar images. What do people prefer? OS related images? 2D or 3D? Colorful or ?

          Thank you! I also see that myself and other skin authors had their ratings adjusted. I’m sure they appreciate it as well.

          This weekend hopefully I can release my latest work. “FrostBite”. Its a blue theme with bright colors and gradients.

          Its optimized to allow PA to load faster on launch. So far it out performs any skin I have made thus far. But we will see how it performs for other users ;)

              I really do enjoy all you skins. Some more than others, of course. I think Poison is really great. That is the first skin that I haven’t had to change the toolbar icons for. I do however have that skin greyscaled, which looks really good. I like the green look (a la SmoothLime) but there’s just something about grey…I do appreciate you fixed the previous archive button; that was driving me nuts. It was just wasted space.

              Also, don’t worry about abviously overcritical rankings. Anyone that has used one of your skins knows they are among the best.

              I never thought I’d say this but…I hope I get frostbite.

                MarcFOU,

                imao, your Posined skin for PA is a duplicate/rip off of the NVIDIA WindoBlinds theme which is available at nZone, but do correct me if I’m wrong.

                  Yes its heavily based on the NVidia theme. Many of the graphics were tweaked and adjusted, while other images were re-created to match the theme.

                  The skin was supposed to be an exact duplicate so it could be used with the NVidia VS and WB. Copyright of the NVidia name prevented me from using it. So it was renamed.

                    Always nice to get positive feedback. Thanks!

                    I submitted the new skin and it should be available soon from the skins page.

                          The skin is now available. You can get it from the main skin page.

                          PixelPirate has created two very nice skins. Excellent work! Check them out when you have the chance.

                            New skin coming after the holiday weekend. Updates to existing skins will follow. Mostly minor fixes and smaller file size on disk. Always a plus right?

                            Look for the new skin Tue or Wed.

                                (i) This last week I have been working on porting the MyPA skin to Opera. It will feature the same color scheme and orange buttons & effects.

                                Also, I’ve incorporated our beloved PA icon into the email client - replacing that ‘other’ archivers icon :cool:

                                (ii) Monday I hope to start a new PA skin, but its too early to settle on a color theme. I’m going to try something that has a bit more dimension.

                                      YEA!! Now Opera and PA have the same (matching) outfit :)

                                          Here is a toolbar that didnt quite make it into a skin. You can save the file to your skins folder and select it from the context menu.

                                          32x32 buttons. I didnt know what to call it, so give it a new name.
