yesterday freak544 asked me to look at a shaped skin he was working on, he designed it for his sister, it needs to be padded out as the shape doesnt get all of messenger in theres a lot of the messenger which is cut out, based on the design i think theres potential for a good skin that many people might enjoy if he can get help with the shaping stuff.

im willing to help him develope this skin but we need some help fixing the shaping, could anyone please advise how we do this?

Definitons:
padding=rect(w,x,y,z)
Styles:
padding:rect(w,x,y,z);

Where:
w is padding on left (pixels)
x is padding on top (pixels)
y is padding on right (pixels)
z is padding on bottom (pixels)

Try to add paddings to parent elements (if possible) so as to avoid having to modify every single element and for ease of future modifications.

Thank you Volv and as its based on pixels it will take a while to pad it out and thanks stuart for starting a thread

No problem, once you know how rect() works it really becomes your friend, you can use it in other properties as well (such as borderthickness to only add a border to certain sides)

I must say there is a distinct lack of reading the documentation going on

So what definiton file would be the best one to use for the padding? I am asking this as there are multiple versions of the main file for instance

it's just the title given to that window main is fairly common.

921 is the toasts (regular, alert and super alert {whatever this is})
923 is contact list window
1001 is the actual contact list
