SkinStudio Confusion!

October 7, 2005 4:57 AM from

I hope someone can help me with a few issues with skinstudio 4.6!?

If i create a universal skin file, it allows me to change the margins of say the titlebar. All 4 margins. Yet it wont let me import widgets!! So if i switch to a windowblinds skin and start again, this time it wont let me change all 4 margins. Only top and bottom! ARGH

Also does anyone know of any great tutorials for skinstudio as i find it very hard to use!
Thanks

Try it with a UIS2 skin. The widget features don't work on UIS1.

Its not even funny now. Almost every time i save it, close it and reload it loads my skin as a different type. Now its pocketblinds!! And ive lost all my work! Again. Does anyone else find skinstudio a pain to use?

I remember when all we had was Notepad for putting the skin together, so no, I don't find SkS a pain...... confusing at times, but not a pain.

I've never seen SkS do that, but I've never used the Universal Skin Format either......

Try to edit your skin in Notepad, and I'll bet you learn to appreciate SkS.
