As you may or may not know, the menu bar image for WLM9 (#'s 1831 and 1832) looks horrible, so I decided to replace it with a better version. All it gives me now is a black background whenever I press ALT:



Image 1831, which seems to be the image used in most windows that have a menubar, is a _var image, and is not actually specified anywhere in the UIFiles. I've had no issues replacing other _var images however. Maybe this is some kind of limitation?

Thanks

I'm sure you've got to define the metadata for it =)
What have you used?

        <Colorize>false</Colorize>
        <UMTop>7</UMTop>
        <UMBottom>1</UMBottom>
    </Metadata>

<Picture Id="1832">

    <Metadata>

    </Metadata>
</Picture>

what happens if you simply remove the metadata?

Still a black bar

My guess is that because it has a 4006 counterpart image that is the reason it can't be replaced. Since the bar has two defined states and by replacing the image you are only defining one it totally screws it up.

Since this is no actual code that controls what image this points to there is no point in trying to replace the image.
