(SkinStudio) Need help with "max" windows

from Stardock Forums

Hi, could some one help me please? i'm trying to put an image in the "per pixel frames" section from skin studio, at the Maximized Caption, trying to use 2x image count. but it doesn't seem to work properly, it looks like some thing is in front and cant be applied or some thing,also if you look at the text in this notepad, at the top of the text its faded abit due to some image thats in the way, whats wrong?

Looks like your settings in the paint margins area for the image may be overlapping Tomic22.  Try adjusting those and see if that helps.

Tomic22, I sent you a PM with my email address. If you want me to, I can look at the blind to see what is going on with your max windowframes. It's hard to see what's really happening in that screenshot.

delete the glass section in the code editor for all those frame sections.

i dont know if i done it right but it looks better..kinda i have changed the "OS Caption Height" i was wondering if a Width exists? for the left and right border? if so that would fix my problem, i cant find such setting but may be i missed it, is one setting for width exists?

painting margins are used for the width so the graphics arent stretched...

i saw the new image... which one are you showing us? the one inside the frame thats cut down the middle or the outside one?

make sure you change the os caption height to the correct height of your frame top graphic (one image, not two put together for skinstudio)

as for the left and right border, their width is what you make it from your graphics... so its up to you, too wide of course is not recomended

 

if the image you are referring to is the one inside the window.. your painting margins have been pushed too far and are overlapping each other,

so its cutting the window off in the middle.

as to the last post, the outer box is at was wrong...the inner box/window was what the image supposed to be.

this might help: read the help SKS section for the maximized frame and change your caption height setting to match that of your image height.
