[quote who="2of3" reply="91" id="3075411"]I will need some time to work on it, so expect us to pick up again tomorrow if that works for you.[/quote] No problem. I'll PM you when I am up. I have to redo the mouseovers and log-off anyway. I will update those in the gallery and send you copies. Thanks again for your time and help on this.
[quote who="2of3" reply="88" id="3075398"]In fact, looking closer, the top value of 12 which I talked about in reply 71 seems wrong. It should be 13. top part of the panel: 27px + the text margins of the right side: 13px -------------------------------------------------- 40 px[/quote] got it
[quote who="2of3" reply="85" id="3075384"]dunno could it be my screen?[/quote] Probably a combination of the fonts color and background. [quote who="2of3" reply="85" id="3075384"]Yours looks like it should....congrats![/quote] THANK you! It wouldn't if it weren't for all of this.
[quote who="2of3" reply="82" id="3075373"]I just tested the skin with a recent document expansion value of 70 just to see. That will also work just as well as 40, so if you feel that you want more....go for it.[/quote] I'm good with ti at 40. Not worried about the font yet. Looks like you added the highlights to yours? (Mine is darker)
[quote who="2of3" reply="69" id="3075344"]I tweaked it for literally hours and came up with these settings.[/quote] Sorry. [quote who="2of3" reply="70" id="3075349"] Tip: You can maximize the popup window for the section in sks...it will give you a larger preview and help you see where exactly your margins fall.[/quote] How?

[quote who="2of3" reply="67" id="3075336"]n the extra settings tab, the only thing you need to do is to set the background effect to semi trans. The height and width settings do nothing. The width is defined by the combination of the top part and left hand side settings (think: the left hand side width "pushes" the right hand side over)[/quote] okay.
[quote who="2of3" reply="62" id="3075327"]Bottom section (I don't know why it's listed next on sks.....to me it would be more logical to do the all prog section next) Extras tab....you know the drill.......background effect to semi trans, zero out the first H and W settings and set the next 2 to the dimensions of the image (W 412 and H 68) Note: the width isn't very important because the width of the top part section defines the total width of your panel...
[quote who="DaveBax" reply="58" id="3075313"] Sorry to interrupt. Is the latest version of SS 7.3 [/quote] Yes. (I updated my version) And don't be sorry. Unless you're Zubaz. Then, you really wouldn't be sorry, you'd be pathetic. Glad to have you on board, Dave. **I'm on Messenger (PoSmedley63) and FB Messenger as well. (Noah Hansell)
[quote who="2of3" reply="54" id="3075288"]Background effect to semi trans. Zero out the first 2 height and width settings and set width to 251 (same as the image). The height setting does NOTHING, so ignore it.......the height of your panel is defined by how much content you have on your SP.[/quote] [quote who="2of3" reply="55" id="3075294"]Painting margins:[/quote] Both done. QUESTION:</s
[quote who="2of3" reply="51" id="3075279"]It looks like you had some kind of lighting effect on the base layers of the image.[/quote] Okay. Yeah, I did.
[quote who="2of3" reply="49" id="3075271"]Notice my painting margins in reply 45. when tiling it's very tricky to get it right. I "hid" the tile in a place it won't show.[/quote] Why won't it show there ?

[quote who="2of3" reply="26" id="3075188"]..you haven't "upgraded" to the newest version of skinstudio. Version 7.3[/quote] I upgraded WB from the Stardock Store after the Impulse switch and it f***ed my system up. I haven't upgraded anything since. I'm waiting for the new server or whatever. Should I close SKS and get the upgrade?
[quote who="Zubaz" reply="24" id="3075178"]Also, I love you guys. In a manly sort of way. Unless we were in prison and you had cigs or something.[/quote] Awful picture in my head of you sneaking up on me in the shower saying ' Hey, anybody come at you yet? Anybody get to you yet? Hey, we all need friends in here. I could be a friend to you. ' *shudder
[quote who="2of3" reply="12" id="3075156"]Check your images against the ones posted in reply#8. They need to be exactly the same dimensions or the painting margins that I will tell you about later will be off. [/quote] They all match.
[quote who="2of3" reply="10" id="3075149"]Questions so far?[/quote] Are there predefined measurements like for the All Programs area? How do you determine the sizes for the left and right panels?
