help with SkinStudio

from WinCustomize Forums
When making a skin, I allways get an outline of of my "transperant" color around my button or whatever component I am skinning.

Why does this happen, and how do I fix it?

Also what program are all of you using to create WindowBlinds skins?

If you have transparency, the Transparent checkbox should be checked, then the pink dissapears.

It is checked, and I still get an outline around my component. Its only an outline though, it doesnt fill the entire area!

Maybe I have to have it checked before I edit the part, could that be it?

Sound like an antialiasing problem. If you're using magic pink as the transparent color, you can't use antialiasing. You need to use tga files for that, and turn on the Translucency setting. TGA doesn't work for all the bits though, so sometimes you have to improvise. Load a working skin in SkinStudio, and see how the different parts are done..... that's the best way to see what works where.
