[quote who="PoSmedley" reply="48" id="3072467"]I know there have been issues in the past with skins being pulled from the gallery because certain or a lot of the graphics in it matched graphics in size in other skins to the pixel. SO...how do you follow anyones template? (I have been following the templates that 2of3 sent me but have purposely gone out of my way to change the sizes of the png's. From the height of the taskbar to the window frames, etc., etc.)[/quote] When she says

It brings up this frame builder thing, and then I click the "Import into all frames" radio box, pull in my first .png, which fills in all the spaces for buttons with an equal distance between them when I save, then click the "Import into selected frames" and fill them in with the correct ones for each button state, then click the "Save file as" button to save the whole works in the .wba file, and I don't have to worry about being a pixel off somewhere. <img src="htt

I know Kitty and I differ on this, but why not use the frame builder for the different images so you don't risk being a pixel off between images? I use the frame builder--I make all the different states of the button on the same PSD, save the separate images as png, then import them in the frame builder. My math sucks, even with a calculator (and my depth perception isn't the best either -- frickin' presbyopia). As for your radio buttons, the image

There's a bill in congress right now, H.R.3596, the United States Call Center Worker and Consumer Protection Act, that would "require a publicly available a list of all employers that relocate a call center overseas and to make such companies ineligible for Federal grants or guaranteed loans and to require disclosure of the physical location of business agents engaging in customer service communications."
