Title: Skin Design - Custom Library backgrounds?
Post by: EpF on May 27, 2004, 09:13:26 pm

I'm trying to make a Mega-Me skin, which I will share with anyone who wants it when it's done, but I was wondering if it is possible to have a bitmap as the background to any part of the Library window...

Also, is it possible to design the look of the divider between the Tree and the Contents sections of the Library window?

Splitters can be skinned. Something like this:

<SPLITTER>
        <Entry Name="HorizontalBackground" Bitmap="SHB.bmp" Rows="1,?-Flex,6" Columns="1,?-Flex,1" />
        <Entry Name="VerticalBackground" Bitmap="SVB.bmp" Rows="1,?-Flex,1" Columns="1,?-Flex,6" />
        <Entry Name="HorizontalHandle" Bitmap="SHH.bmp" Margins="6,1,1,1" DrawMode="REGION_E_HTILE,REGION_E_VTILE" />
        <Entry Name="VerticalHandle" Bitmap="SVH.bmp" Margins="0,2,5,3" DrawMode="REGION_E_VTILE,REGION_E_VTILE" />
</SPLITTER>

As for bitmaps, I don't think it's possible. There was a test version of MJ a long time ago that could do that but I think they scrapped that idea.
