Turn off your WB skinners brain, RightClicks are much simpler, you may be over thinking things.

So, can SKS 5 and 6 peacefully co-exist on the same computer?  I've been looking for an older version of SKS that supported RC, but never thought to look on Impulse...

If only we COULD use png's for the background.  Ah that would be sweet.

Here's a tip (yeah, this coming from me - who's lucky if he can find his behind with a flashlight and instructions half the time) about working with 'magic pink'.  Save the .bmp first, then bring it back into your editor program.  Don't know why, but it seems (at least on my machine) that it's much easier to get the "mp" parts right than trying to do it on the original image.

Probably a 'tip' every one know about, but still thought I'd share...>_>

Hey Kitty, here are the changes I have made to the general section of the menuskin file; changes and additions bolded

 

EdgeBuffer_Top=60
EdgeBuffer_Bottom=12
EdgeBuffer_Left=25       added; these two move everything in from edges of image
EdgeBuffer_Right=10
ItemHeight=18
ItemIconBuffer_LeftOfIcon=8  edited settings; these three control item in from edge of mouseover image.
ItemIconBuffer_BetweenTextAndIcon=2
ItemIconBuffer_RightTextClip=10
ItemTextOnlyBuffer_LeftOfText=8

 

try them and see what ya think.

 

Posted here not PMed so others may be helped understand the settings. ;)
