"derp"?

check your painting margins...

maybe its your graphics?

as for the combo button, its always bigger than the box.... dont ask why, i hve noo idea..

This is exactly where I get screwed up. I see what you've written but I can't get my head around it.

I re-did the button without the texture and it's better.(** I take that back. They are still doing the same thing) Then I wanted to add the little indent/rivet. I can't make it part of the button png because it won't place/stretch/tile correctly...so I tried a glyph- two different ways...I don't understand why it centers the way it does when the image is the same frame and size as the button. (The magic pink is only so you can see the indents)

Then, on the 'radial buttons' - They look different in SKS than they do in use. ???

I have to look at this. The skin I am using now (Ultimo iFlat) the button isn't oversized on mouseover or mousedown. Unless the button is transparent?

I've seen it. Like, actually laid my eyes on it. I know it's there. I've even wondered often what it does. Cause, ya' know, I seen it.

That's kind of an important little tid-bit that should be made note of. Thank you.

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.

I'll give it a shot.

All these 'technical' terms and names are hard to follow.

What you don't 'nkow' could fill a library.

My first thought was to call it a frame builder thingy -- I drop the "y", so as not to sound too idiotic, and risk receiving the Derp-O-Graphic.

Ah. The 'y'.

I interviewed a woman for a supervisor position at a huge job site I am over. We do industrial and grade-A office cleaning. I asked about her experience (already having a pretty good idea she had none as she sat there in her lace-up sandals and silk blouse opened to her navel). She said she had extensive experience and had even done 'water and fire restoration'. I asked her what kind of equipment she had used and she informed me she knew how to run the 'water-sucky-uppy-thingy'. I smiled and sarcastically asked if she was familiar with running a 'carpet thingy' to which she replied 'It depends on the carpet.'

I don't give out 'Derps' for using the 'y'. That would be almost redundant.

I don't give out supervisor positions either.

Cool. I was going to ask what you all use to see how they look in different apps and stuff.

***And they look like crap. sigh.

Thank the other skinners helping me. They're the ones giving up valuable time to walk me through this.

The 'Import Into All Frames' first is important. I mis-read that and you can imagine my frustration. Hope your ears weren't burning to bad.

ABOUT USING TEMPLATES : I know what a big deal it is for you guys to share your psd files and all with me or anyone. Hell, it was weird for me posting the psd files from these to WC.  So, I will put this question to ALL the skinners stopping by here. I want to ask this without stirring up a lot of shit.

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.)
