O.P. Huh?  [Help]Replacing _var images and reshaping
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
