sweet skin but it doesnt look quite right for me




EDIT: i found the problem

its in the way you hide the tabs
you just use layoutpos=none in the <msbltabs> tag

to fix put the msbltabs inside another hidden element like so:

code:

---

<element layoutpos=none>
<msbltabs layoutpos=none id=atom(tabmanager) padding=ifhc(rect(0,0,0,6), rect(0,0,0,6))>
</msbltabs>
</element>

Thank you.  I spent a long time looking for that, and couldnt remember how I did it for the iPod skin. 

Your a life saver!  Thanks!

Terill, how about adding an option to choose different colours instead of using black all over, choosing blue/green/red to match the rest of peoples themes like the wave 11 skin option.

Fantastic skin, I'd be using this skin for sure if it was blue like the rest of my xp theme

Conversation Window (good news):
You can currently change the background of the conversation window as you normally would, however a black area remains at the top.  I'll try to fix that up.   And colorize works just like normal.

Contact List (bad news):
I have no idea how Wave11 has its colors implemented ( i haven't looked at any code), but it appears to me that its done using horizontal gradients.   My guess is that based on what you select in the installer, it changes the corresponding lines to hold those color values. 

All I can say is, it would be POSSIBLE to add that option for parts of my skin (probably only the background colors), but I have no idea how to do so.  It would also be much more work, seeing as i dont use rgb values as heavily.

just noticed new unthemed part of skin, alerts!

Just the same colour blue throughout would do me, wouldnt matter about gradients!
