Standard View Skinning Tutorial
InflatableMouse:
Thanks Jim.
How do I change the main menu text color? I've changed the skin border to be white, I want the text to be dark grey without that drop shadow.
I think I tried every text entry in the XML but nothing seems to change in the main menu?
InflatableMouse:
Anyone? ?
marko:
Where do you mean by "Main Menu"?
Edit:
Just seen your screenies, and am guessing you mean the top toolbar where you have File, Edit, View, etc. etc.?
If I'm right, look in the <TOOLBARS> section of the XML, there you can set the colours for the top and bottom bars independently...
<Entry Name="TopBar" Alignment="0" OffsetX="2" OffsetY="0" >
<Colors Text="5e616e" HilightText="8c9cfc" SelectedText="8f92a5" Separator="565656" />
</Entry>
The irritating 3D effect is a pain. When you land on a colour that has sufficient contrast, it tends to go away. If not, then I think you can try to control it using the values in the <FRAME> section, where there are values for "Face3D" "Highlight3D" and "Shadow3D". I tend to make those three all the same colour, as, as you will find, they can have knock on effects throughout the rest of the skin. For example, you may use them to "fix" something, then discover that that fix, has completely ruined the tooltip colours you worked so hard on last week!!
Welcome to the world of MC skinning!! :D

Thanks Marko, that helped and I got it, you can try it out the download link is in my other post, Metro White.
Next issue I'm running into is the scrollbars. I tried but I can't seem to get their size cut in half. If someone could explain that to me I'd appreciate it.

No promises, but I am thinking I might make a start on a new skin having used Knit-Knots almost exclusively for more than three years now.
New skin, new questions...
Scaling...
In the xml, I see that we have Scale values 1 through to 4. What do these do?
