.....why is this happening to me again?

from WinCustomize Forums

k, this same thing happened to me with my igloo skin, created in vista first in sk6, added an xp substyle, and blah the xp startmenu looked horrible....but it WAS fixed via me reinstalling wb through impulse and me updating my xp system, but now the same thing has happened again.

i have reinstalled wb through impulse........no go.   i have updated sk6...........no go.  im very confused and not sure what to do at this point,  and my xp system is very up to date.. =/

This skin is expected of me to be finished soon, its the tribute to boxxi, so id gladly welcome help........any help to fix this, so we can have the tribute up and running for everyone to enjoy.

I would say...
1. Text Margins (at least for the bottom panel, and left side)
2. Maybe Vista Margins messing up XP one (Extra Tab)
3. Maybe some Gremlins escaped of WC servers in your computer

Hi Kitty...From the previews that I have seen it looks like your settings may be off or that you might have to have the attribute but first we could try changing the settings and see if that will help whatsoever. You could try these settings to see if it makes any change, not sure if this start panel is of Vista or of XP but I will give you some settings that worked fairly well for me..

On Windows Vista

Top Bar 399 x 6
Programs 250 x 70
Place 150 x 170
All Programs 270 x 23
Bottom Bar 298 x 45

On Windows XP you could try these settings

Top Bar 399 x 75
Programs 250 x 70
Place 151 x 70
All Programs 270 x 23
Bottom Bar 398 x 50

Another thing you could do is also if your subsstyle also in UIS2 is open up SkinStdio 5 if you have it and by highlighting the pieces of your start panel on the right hand side you will see a column...if you scroll down I believe it says something like MORE you can right click on this and Say Add Attributes as that also might be the problem...
