Thanks Stu, im gonna check it and then i get back to comments results.

it can be replaced with a custom image using the process i stated above, let me know how you get on.

tks stuart!
i'll try that on aurora live

your welcome blessedguy im glad i could help, so many skins have inspired me and the features i have put into 365, it is nice that for once my skin is one of the skins that inspires others and helps them to improve their skins bringing about a continuous circle of "inspirational evolution" which i hope will help us all to push the boundaries of skinning further and further and in turn inspire patchou to extend skinnings functionallity so as to inspire the creation of even better skins in a never ending cycle of constantly improving developement.

I fixed that but now an another problem occurred. The pictures are not displayed properly. They get stretched. I put Willz's bar to check if it happens with every bar and with Willz's bar it was working great. I made the dimensions the same as Willz's and the problem continues. See the screenshot

Use the <Metadata> tag for your picture in your SkinInfo.xml, it handles stretching and colorization. More information about the tag in the skinning documentation, good luck!

well...basilis...
as you will already read this, i'll ask you sth
why don't you use custom code with the group bars "expand/collapse" shortcut?

Can you explain further what expand/collapse code is? I have never heard of it.

ok i haven't tried this yet however change

quote:

---

Background:rgb(0,0,0);

---

to

quote:

---

Background:rcbkd(59020);

---

or maybe to

quote:

---

Background:rcimg(59020);

---

where 59020 is the resource number of the image to be used for the replace, then define 59020 in your skininfo file so it refers to the desired image, im not sure if its supposed to be rcbkd or rcimg but one of them should work, remember when setting your replace in skininfo it goes under new as its a 59xxx numbered resource and you need to set some ummargins which are

UMLeft
UMTop
UMRight
UMBottom

they must be set in that order under your metadata part of your replace for example

quote:

---

<New>
<Pictures>
<Picture Id="59020">
<File>59020.png</File>
<Metadata>
<UMLeft>5</UMLeft>
<UMTop>5</UMTop>
<UMRight>5</UMRight>
<UMBottom>5</UMBottom>
</Metadata>
</Picture>
</Pictures>
</New>

i hope this helps, please remember i havent actually tested it but that should work.

Under line 32 (of the unchanged styles 1004/1009), you'll find:

code:

---

Element[Class="ExpandCollapseIcon"]
{
ContentAlign:MiddleCenter;
Content:rcimg(1382);
}
Element[Class="ExpandCollapseIcon"][MouseFocused]
{
Content:rcimg(1383);
}

---

then replace it (on both 1004/1009), with your custom code:

code:

---

Element[Class="ExpandCollapseIcon"][ContentIndex=0]
{
ContentAlign:MiddleCenter;
Content:rcimg(59001);
}
Element[Class="ExpandCollapseIcon"][ContentIndex=1]
{
ContentAlign:MiddleCenter;
Content:rcimg(59002);
}
Element[Class="ExpandCollapseIcon"][MouseFocused][ContentIndex=0]
{
Content:rcimg(59003);
}
Element[Class="ExpandCollapseIcon"][MouseFocused][ContentIndex=1]
{
Content:rcimg(59004);
}

---

of course, with your pic ids...i used them as an example!
here's the result:


By the way...thanks stuart!
the bar img worked!
