Does the skinned common tasks show with any skin? I ask because the shareware version of WB doesn't skin everything, and I'm not sure what things aren't skinned. That could be one of them.

well since the skin i'm working on is a conversion (first time trying to do somthing with a skin actually) it had converted with images for vert, horiz prog bars etc. so i just made one image and deleted the rest, so now it uses just one prog bar for all of them
i just checked another skin to see how it was done there...
oh well i guess i have a lot to learn

That's one of the best techniques ... finding a skin that does what you want and picking it apart to see how a particular thing was done.
