I have notified vertical gridline was dependent from the menu background so i have added "back=..." in the menu section and i can choose now whatever colors i want.

But i can found these white line i know it's possible or at least what other value are they dependent.

Please if anyone cause i spend really so much time on it without success.

OK, so it's not a simple science, as you would expect from MC skinning ;)

The lines you indicated are determined by the tree text colour...

but...
Select "Remote Control"...
(http://www.mpw.scot/pics/ia/21/snap-026.jpg)
and you see it is drawing from somewhere else. I haven't figured that one out yet!

To add to the confusion, the border around the options list draws from somewhere else too, and I have yet to figure that out also.

Thank you so much Marko as always you really help me again :)

I see why i don't found it now i have pasted the black color amsost anywhere but not on tree or list text color.

Yep it is  not a very simple science i would say it has non sense :)

And about the left part of the whites lines in the options list  it's the same; it's determined by .....
.
.
.
The List text color  ? >:(  :'(

Same for the remote part and also the dsp part ...


Thank you again Marko and happy new year!
Finally i can finish my skins so i 'll release them very soon...

Anyone know where this white background is located?

If I'm reading the code right, it's here:

bool JRInPlaceFindToolbarWnd::OnDraw(CGDIBuffer * pDC, JRRect rectClient, JRPoint ptMouse)
{
    // draw background
    IJRSkinningItem * pBackground = GetJRSkinning()->GetSkinItem(_T("List"), _T("InPlaceFindToolbar"));
    if ((pBackground != NULL) && (pBackground->GetIsValid()))
           pBackground->DrawFast(pDC->GetImage(), rectClient);
    ...
}

So I think it's "List" and "InPlaceFindToolbar" that it'll use.

Do you still have "Black and Blue Too" installed? Have a look at that, see how it's done in there...
(http://www.mpw.scot/pics/ia/21/snap-037.jpg)

Within the <LIST> block, you need an entry along the lines of: "<Entry Name="InPlaceFindToolbar" Bitmap="List_InPlaceFindToolbar.png" NumberImages="1" .... "

Next, complete, integrated skinning tip...

Some things, like quick find, tabs etc., get added to MC over time as new features. MC helps "pre new feature" skins still work by adding the required parts to a "Default Skin Items" folder found in the installation directory "Data" folder.

In there, for example, you can find tabs.
If you make a skin and don't include images and xml data for tabs, MC will still show them, taking them from this default skin items folder.
The xml needed to draw these default items is shown in the included xml in this folder.

If any of these default items are explicitly specified in the actual skin directory, then those are used in favour of the default skin items ones.
It's always best to specify your own as the defaults provide the fucntionality, but rarely fit with the rest of your skin.

Hope that helps a bit.

Partially resolved i haven't found the white line (see the screenshot on the first post and look at the yellow arrow at the top).

Only this is missing any help?
