You have the right picture alright.  Although I was pretty sure the issue had already been solved (as described in post #198), I wanted to look at your possible solution for future reference, and watch my screen a while before declaring any certainty.  I have not seen the translucent borders since adding the 1 px painting margins (see my post to Xiandi for more on that) to the 3 ends that had no margins defined.  Anyway, that trick of yours is a good one to know!  Thanks for passing it along.

Hello all;

In the UIS2 Frame Section of Vamp's tutorial, she warns not to import the caption bitmap because of a glitch that causes the loss of the thumbpicture of one's skin in windowblinds.  I read to the bottom of the page (end of section 1) and the tutorial doesn't say when to import that caption image.  I'm wondering at what point one does that, or if the glitch has been fixed?

peace,

Dave

Thank you; the thumbpicture in WB is displaying just as it should.

peace,

Dave

You just gotta jump in Uvah. Don't bother trying to learn it all before you make one, you just can't do it that way. 

This isn't like walking, Uvah.  It's more like driving a car.  You can't really take baby steps when trying to get onto the freeway, you'll never get on and you'll irritate the crap out of the people behind you.  Just have to find your quickest opportunity and gun it, get in there and hope for the best.

I'm from the States.  Went to England a number of years ago where the driver sits on the right side of the seat, and drives down the left lanes of the roads and highways.  Ten minutes from the airport, we came across a roundabout, a sort of intersection where no one stops but goes "roundabout" until their exit comes up.  I needed a pee cup after about 3 times around of trying to be in the correct lane without people blowing their horns at me.  I'm all for diving into new things, but I sure wasn't prepared for that.  Uvah, this skinning is nothing near that bad.

Hello, all;

I made some initial text color choices for the buttons on the edit toolbar controls page, but wasn't satisfied with them all.  I tried changing them again, but it seemed like I'd picked the wrong colors for some states.  I changed them all to the normal state color, but many buttons in Windows have remained with the first color choices I made.  They remain such even after after a system reboot.  The buttons on Foxfire pages retain their original black text (not one of my color choices), and the bookmarks toolbar retains a color that I originally chose for the disabled state.  That text does not change during mouseover or pressed states.

Is this a known issue, or am I doing something wrong?  By the way when I put on another skin that I knew would change my button colors like Xiandi's Dark and Dirty, they do change.  When I wear my skin again, they're back to where they were.  Thanks in advance,

Peace,

Dave

The problem is with the text colour on those WHOLE toolobar button group:

button

button(6state)

split button

split drop down button

drop down button

toolbar style menu button

You need to skin ALL of those button and when you do the text states you have to make them ALL THE SAME COLOUR

if you dont, sk has a major bug here and the state colour do NOT act correctly.

Conversely I've driven on the RIGHT side of the road [the Left] for about 35 years before a trip to the US/Canada in '09.....

THAT was spooky....running around Detroit [and at one stage trying NOT to run into the arse of Frogboy's Porsche in my 'rental']...

I've never been to Detroit, but I'm a country boy.  Pittsburgh is a relatively small city, and I get anxious and confused trying to drive into there.  Drove into NY City one time; never, never will I do that again.

Wonder how it came to be that different countries adopted different sides of the road to drive on?  It has to go long before cars, though we all know where they were first built.      In the Welsh hills are tiny narrow little roads between the ancient hedgerows that follow the ridges.  Every km or two is a lay-by which allows a driver to back up to one to let another driver pass.  I can't remember if they are on both or only one side of the roads.

Peace

Dave

yes you do if you dont want to have issues with the state texts.

Firefox uses different rules for those buttons..........it`s in the edit color section. Menu text color is what I remember off the top of my head.....but I would have to double check that.

I wouldn`t use FF to judge how my skins look if I were you.....so may weird issues there.

actually, im just trying to help a newbie learn to skin, i can only count on ONE hand how many people here help new people skin,

if you know of more........let me fucking know Uvah............
