[Help]Replacing _var images and reshaping by Demon Hunter on 03-02-2009 at 06:25 PM

Hey everybody

I got 2 problems here

The first one is that i just can't replace _var images. I tried both replacement by the SkinInfo and through changing the definitions and style codes. What's the trick?

The, and mor complicated, is about reshaping the window:
What i want to do is to my skin look something like this:
[Image: project.th.png]
The "margin" around must be always the same size, like an Untouchable Margin

My first attempt was to create a rectangle, substract the rounded bordes, then substract a rounded rectangle and after add a small rounded rectangle inside. Only The small rectangle is shown.

In the second trial a i just added the full picture, but again only the inner part is shown. Besides, the shape doesn't resize at all, but i think it happens 'cause i didn't add borders.
Is there a way to solve this or it's just a impossible dream xD?

Thank You

for the image. only puts this

<Picture Id="xxxx">
<File>Images/xxxx.png</File>
<Metadata>
<Colorize>false</Colorize>
<UMLeft>200</UMLeft>
<UMTop>200</UMTop>
<UMRight>200</UMRight>
<UMBottom>200</UMBottom>
</Metadata>
</Picture>

but the shape is a little difficult to explain."of the edges".
