In the next version of my skin, it'll have a option to move the wordwheel, so how would i make it so if it was set to the top it'll have the 379 and 380 images that i made, but if it was at the bottom it would just be white, using the default images..

duck how did you move word wheel to the bottom like that? its just with my colours id have no way of knowing exactly what colour to use in the top location but in the botttom location i know itd be the yellow in my skin so could colour it easier, also duck if you know how to do the background on word well could you please help me with it?

to move it to the bottom, open up your 1001 definitions txt and find the line

code:

---

<Element LayoutPos=Top Layout=BorderLayout() BorderThickness=rect(0,0,0,1) Padding=Rect(0,0,2,0) ID=Atom(ai550)>

---

Simply change Layoutpos=Top to LayoutPos=Bottom

As for the background, either create a 27x37 image, put what ever color you want the wordwheel to be, or user the extract tool in MP!L then navigate to Graphics - Pictures - and open msgres_4000_379.png change the color outside of the rectangle if you want it to leave a white bit in the middle where the actual search bar is, then save it to your skins directory, add it to your skininfo.xml
For example

code:

---

<Graphics><Pictures>
                                         <Picture Id="379">
                           <File>images/wordwheel.png</File>
                        </Picture> 
                        <Picture Id="380">
                            <File>images/wordwheel2.png</File>
                     </Picture>
</Graphics></Pictures>
