Thanks AVMAN. Actally I did it the way you mentioned here, nevertheless your post made me play around a bit more. Now I think I know what´s the problem. Most people here might know it and find it trivial, but I post it for other newbs to proceed faster without experimenting*. 1. The image used for max-caption is truncated at the left and right side by the width of right and left widow borders so you have to add those values to painting margins and text/button positions. (seems to be so

depite the fact that I´m the only one who replies to my post in this thread I just for someone who reads it wanted to mention that I could fix problem 4 and 6. so the other problems still remained- feel free to reply if you got an idea ;)
I guess You are using Vista. I´ve had the problem of not correctly aligned Caption Text background of normal window caption bars there, with skins made for XP. For a new skin I also couldn´t fix that in skinstudio so I left out this feature completely ;p P.S. don´t know if that´s already been noticed or fixed by makers of WB here or not a bug at all ??
got exactly the same problem as mentioned here. The only difference- I found the caption buttons by positioning them with high values for distance from right/top. But the caption bar is still missing. I,m using SkinStudio 6. Any idea?
hmm, nobody an idea?
it´s me again, :-) there are a few parts of Vista explorer for which I can´t find where to manage them in SkinStudio: 1: This resizing bar. In most (or all) skins it has the rgb color 252/252/252. Is this system defined or manageable by SkinStudio (no image in the WB folder fits)? 2: this item for over appeared after I upgraded Skinstudio and WB yesterday. Don´t find the cor
Hmm, did the thing with the manual shadow, it´s even worse cause now the last item hangs somewhere almost within the shadow, because the shadow is part of the menu X-( so now I even more need some content margin control STARDOCK: we need content margin control for popup menus! another thing is, that dark pixels are shown where the png is transparent, guess that´s definitely a bug! Think I keep my old design and give the first and last item some special slim
Thanks a lot Mike and vStyler for the fast reply. :-) the manual shadow work-around is a good idea, didn´t know how to turn the shadow off
Hi, I´m just about to make my first WB skin. Fist of all I wanna mention that I like the skinning interface of Skinstudio 6, though I have never worked with previous versions. Most things I found out myself, but what I couldn´t find is how to set the content margins for popup menus, maybe it is not yet or not implemented at all. Another thing is that per pixel shadows of those popup menus don´t seem to be ok, the shadow doesn´t seem to use alpha blending of the original png but a simple s
after upgrade to 5.51 I can´t change colors in a skin which worked before. Custom color support is enabled, and all skins remain in the red area. That´s for shure because also a skin by myself is now shifted to red though designed different Another problem is that WB shows up different depending from where I started it. Starting it from quick launch some mods of me don´t show up, starting it from stardock central they are shown whereas others vanished. I think it´s got something to do w
