Validation error

from Stardock Forums
Quite often, when modifying a skin and then saving it I get a "Validation" error similar to the following: "Titlebar height calculated from the image (73) and its corresponding metrics height (23) do not match. etc."

1) What should be done to correct it?
- Change the first number to the second (73 to 23 in the example above)?
- Change the second number to the first (23 to 73 in the example above)?
- Nothing.. don't worry about it?

2) What affect will changing this have?

Surely someone here knows about this. It is quite common. So, how about some input people?

Hey Hapkido, after validating, double clicking on error takes you to what needs to be fixed, in this example it takes you to caption height ( metrics height ). Just by a fluke the skin I am using had the same error, height from titlebar 27, caption height 24, changing caption from 24 to 27 ( the image height ) fixed error.

Thanks..... so what you are saying is that the preferred method is to change the Metrics height (aka: caption height) to match the Titlebar height, correct? What has been puzzling to me all this time is that I have not seen any noticeable difference after making a change either way.

I have never noticed any difference after correcting this error in any downloaded skins, never have any problems if not corrected. I do think changing the metrics height is the way to get rid of error, as titlebar height is based off image height.
