Have you read thru both skinning tutorials as they will give you the information you need to be able to change the size (dimensions) of the area that part of the skin is to cover.

Look in the "default skin items\Standard View" folder...

There are three "Border_" files in there. You need to mess with those to get the centering exact, it's not easy...

maybe easier to just let it go :)

Good luck.

if you mean (main and frame) borders are for other purpose
Seriously?? ;)

Let's try that again, I assumed too much:

From your MC installation folder, go to "Data\Default Skin Items\Standard View"
In there, you will see three files named:
Border_DropShadow.png
Border_Frame.png
Border_GlowShadow.png

These files draw the frames and shadows around list items in thumbs mode.
List_Selection.png simply marks that entire space as 'selected'.

You can copy these files to your own skin, and then, use the "<BORDER>" section in your own xml to manipulate their behaviour.
Code: [Select]
<BORDER>
  <Entry Name="GlowShadow" Bitmap="Border_GlowShadow.png" Rows="5,?-Flex,9" Columns="7,?-Flex,7" Cells="B2-Skip">
    <Data InternalMarginLeft="5" InternalMarginTop="3" InternalMarginRight="5" InternalMarginBottom="7"></Data>
  </Entry>
  <Entry Name="DropShadow" Bitmap="Border_DropShadow.png" Rows="3,?-Flex,7" Columns="5,?-Flex,5" Cells="B2-Skip">
    <Data InternalMarginLeft="5" InternalMarginTop="3" InternalMarginRight="5" InternalMarginBottom="7"></Data>
  </Entry>
  <Entry Name="Frame" Bitmap="Border_Frame.png" Rows="7,?-Flex,11" Columns="9,?-Flex,9" Cells="B2-Skip">
    <Data InternalMarginLeft="9" InternalMarginTop="7" InternalMarginRight="9" InternalMarginBottom="11"></Data>
  </Entry>
</BORDER>
The 'slightly off-center' thing has been there a looong time.
Personally, I pushed for separate "List_Detail_Selection" and "List_Thumb_Selection" images as I found it limiting having to strike a balance that worked for both view styles in a single selection png file.

there were at least two edits to the above post, sorry about that. It should be correct now :)
