Hi, i want to create a skin and i can't deal with the section where is tree background

You need to specify margins for the image stating that the top can't be stretched.  Then add a section to the bottom that can be stretched (it can even be one pixel tall).

Most of the default skin items use margins (or the more powerful columns / rows) in main.xml, so you can look there for examples.

<TREE>
    <Colors Text="484E59" Back="f0f0f0" SelectedText="132243" SelectedBack="e3f8ff" />
    <Entry Name="Selection" Bitmap="Tree_Selection.png" NumberImages="3" Columns="5,?-Flex,5" Rows="4,?-Flex,4,?-Flex,4" />
    <Entry Name="Background" Bitmap="Tree_Background.png" NumberImages="1" />
  </TREE>
This is what i find in .xml and added some number at margins, but it still change the state.
My background is pretty big now 1000x3000, and if i make him smaller let say 100x300, he get blushed and is not clear anymore, so i put the original .psd on the skin and stay that till i find a way.
On margins i put the 1,1,1,1 and he don't help with nothing.
Maybe you can direct me in the right way, im weak when comes to .xml :)
