Title: Dragyn: Skin Question
Post by: IlPadrino on July 24, 2004, 01:23:47 pm
Hey Dragyn...  first off, thanks for the great skins.  I really like Opus MC (Blue).  I'm also a fan of the GANT icon set.  So I thought I'd try and replace some of the Opus MC icons with the GANT ones.  So far I've come up with:

But for reasons I can't fathom, the player transports get cut off at the bottom (just a tad!).  I tried resizing them, but it doesn't seem to help.  I don't see in the main.xml where there is any mention of how the area is divided by pixels.

So...  might you give me a hint as to how I could fix that?  I also hope you don't mind me adjusting your skins for my own use!

Are you talking about the player buttons? I don't know what you mean by 'player transports'.

I can't really see what's going on in that pic. As for the images in Opus, it's just set a 3 images per file. There is no pixel defining.

<PLAYERBAR>
   ...
   <Entry Name="PlayButton" Bitmap="PBPIIB.png" NumberImages="3" />
   <Entry Name="StopButton" Bitmap="PBSB.png" NumberImages="3" />
   <Entry Name="PauseButton" Bitmap="PBIIPB.png" NumberImages="3" />
   <Entry Name="NextButton" Bitmap="PBNB.png" NumberImages="3" />
   <Entry Name="PreviousButton" Bitmap="PBPB.png" NumberImages="3" />
   ...
</PLAYERBAR>

Maybe they are too big? Mine are (per button): Play/Pause 41x46; Prev/Stop/Next 41x43

Hmm...  so they're resized by the skinning engine.  Maybe I just need to pad the images with a bit of transparent background.  I'll also try the same sizes you used.  Thanks for the help!
