XP Start menu - unable to tile the prog /places images?

May 20, 2003 4:40:49 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Anyone had a problem with this? I've set the left and right sides of the start menu (prog list and places list) to 'tile', but the images are still stretching. It is a striped image, so it looks pretty obvious. SkinStudio seems to think I can tile it, but it isn't doing in WB.

????

BTW - I know that the right hand side looks crap - I've not set up the margins yet.

(...and it isn't the missing '=' on the bottom line. I've fixed that and it hasn't made a difference.)

You need to set TileLeft = 1 for that.

Skinstudio does not make those options obvious enough and I think thats something we need to change.

Hurray!

Thank Neil. I'll try that out. It's my own fault for avoiding using SkinStudio. Does the same go for the PlacesList? (i.e. TileRight=1)
