ok sunshine . tested my skin in 8.1 and it works, well it dont give me errors any more atleast but i still need help to fine tune things, in 8.1 my background on login screen is blue at the top and gradients to a pastelly yellow at the bottom, in 8.1 the top is the same but the bottom only shows as far down as the greenyblue it wont go all the way down to the yellow yet im using the umbottom etc (all four of them) so how do i fix that to make it look the same as in 8.5?

Try without Metadata, i don't think it needs it (goes for both, 8.5 and 8.1 skin).

i tried without the meta data in 8.5 earlier in the week and i get the effect im getting in 8.1 however maybe as 8.1 is slightly different it might be worth a try in the 8.1 block

EDIT:

ok i tried removing 8.1 meta data and it had no effect, i even increased the meta data to maximum everything as 255 and no effect, i then realised something in 8.5 my background uses the whole of the login window and once signed in the 8.5 dashboards sits on top of hit essentially hiding the top half of my background now that i can live with for now but i will customize the dashboard later on in the skins developement.

in 8.1 however so much of the login window is set aside for the dashboard and the dashboards image is always there regardless of whether your signed in or not, i only noticed it cause the dashboard in 8.1 has a patterned effect on it and my background doesnt.

my question therefore seems to be how do i stop messenger from using the dashboard image so mine can go to full screen?
