Statusbar and Pulldown Menu....Content Margins

from WinCustomize Forums


#1, #2 and #3 show the bottom-left corner of my statusbar. #1 with icon, #2 no icon with text, #3 normal with no icon or text. How do I shift those little buggers over? I've played with the content margins to no avail.

#4 and #5 show pulldown menu backgrounds. #4 is from right-clicking on a .bmp file and #5 is from the file menu of SkinStudio. There isn't a content margin setting for pulldown menus (there is for pulldown menu items, but it doesn't affect this)....again I'm stumped how to shift these over.

#6 is from the the systemtray and shows an example of what I want the others to look like. Content margins DO work for the systemtray which, I hope, just means I am missing something with menus and statusbars and is fixable issue.

Again....Thanks for all the help everyone has been giving me

Ooooh, I hope someone can answer the pulldown menu issue as I could do with moving the icons about 2 pixels to the right in my current work too...it's either that or I'll have to recreate a load of menu graphics very slightly modified as I got it slightly wrong initially...I know which I'd prefer!

Okay...I fixed one problem #2 no icon with text on the statusbar, but it doesn't work in internet explorer or any statusbar section showing an icon

Under the attributes for the Statusbar Pane => Margins => Minimum X value for text you can set the number of pixels to shift the text to the right. I'll keep plodding away at this. I'm bound and determined to know SkinStudio inside out.

The same Minimum X value for text also exists under Pull Down Item in Menus but haven't tried it yet (redesigned my menu's earlier)

Ahhh..I might try that "Minimum X value" setting for the menus then...
