If you could download this image and import it into a skin please and see if the horizontal gripper shows up I'd be much appreciative...let me know if it works...

thing is, I imported the skinstudio default image, and applied the skin and it worked fine...but as soon as I import my bitmap, the gripper dissapears...whats wrong with my image?

Make sure show slider is enabled for both "Horizontal and Vertical Scrollbar Thumbs" and your margins are not a mile out.

try pasting your image into the default one.That way SS still thinks its the default.

ok....tried that and realized that I made mine so that each image is 16x16 whereas the sample image is 17x17 for each one...does that matter?

yup, that was the problem...it HAS to be 17x17 for each tile....grrr....that was a pain in the ass too!

The image has to be the same height as the scrollbar.
By default each one is 16x16 as that's the default Windows scrollbar height.
If you're using metrics in WB, or have set it in windows display properties to be bigger, then the image would need to be bigger.

nope...my scrollbar thumb and tray were both 16x16 (with transparency as appropriate). I made my scrollbararrows 16x16 and EVERYTHING on them worked except for the horizontal scrollbar gripper. as soon as I changed the scrollbararrows to 17x17 (without changing the scrollbar tray and thumbs to 17x17) it worked fine...weirdness I know.
