[Help] Resizing Windows that the tabs make? [screenshots] by Keikonium on 01-10-2008 at 07:01 PM

I doubt many people use the tabs, but for those that do, I want my skin to look perfect for them too :P. Here is what my skin looks like with the contact list:

As you can see, there are spaces between the contact list and everything else. This is the intended way it should look.

Then when I choose a tab that loads a webpage (?) it looks like this:

Now there are no spaces between the contact list area (now a webpage) and the surrounding elements.

My question is, is there a way to change the padding of the things that the tabs open?

I don't know the answer but I have to give you a credit.This skin is very nice.How did you make the contact list elements transparent?Sorry to ask this question in this post but I admire your work and I want to see the way it is done.

Not exactly the place to ask (or for me to explain) since I have a thread here for that: Click

But basically I replaced the elements with a 1x1 pixel 100% transparent image then I wrapped the desired sections in a new element that I created. Just a little trial and error, mostly with trying to get the boxes to stretch while resizing the window :P.

Does anyone know how to resize them?

the way tabs load content is not anything you control unless you have access to the page that loads in the tab, its the main reason i don't really bother with them since they can act really weird sometimes.
