Messed up titlebar

from Stardock Forums


I'm making a new skin with SkinStudio, but my progress bar looks like the one above. Why doesn't it look like the 'preview' in SkinStudio? I set all the attributes according to another skin (I used the same image format as the other skin) but the other skin's preview looks like the actual. Why?

Please help!

did you use the same margins? did you use the same paint mode? The actual looks like you need to adjust the margins so the black line is "outside" and painting mode may need to be changed.

These are my margins:


I also copied exactly the attributes for XP Bar-Horizontal and XP Chunk- Horizontal.

BTW What is the painting mode?

Thanks.

The painting mode is whether the area within the margins will be tiled or stretched as the size of the area it needs to cover increases. Some elements also have smarter options that let you tile horizontally while stretching vertically, and vice versa. Try making your margins a little bit wider if you can get away with it.

One of my images was incorrect, so it looked like that. But now, it's still a bunch of orange chunks on a grey background...

Does someone have any progress bar tuts?
Thanks!

Why?
Thanks!
