skinmagic skinbuilder problem (repost )
-
I posted this yesterday but it sank under the various other requests ...so reposted this again : hi ! I was testing out skinmagic demo for one of my apps,and came accross a few problems ..maybe experienced users can help me out on this. problem 1 : when i used irregular shaped dialog windows, the edges showed up as having a faint magenta lines ( i used magenta as my transparent color ).I made the image using photoshop 24 bit bmp,without any drop shadow.Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these edges?in the examples i saw dialog boxes with more complicated edges than mine but those didn't have a problem, and i am unable to find out the reason for this.Can anyone exolain why this happens ? problem 2: i had a pulldown menu in my app, and when i skin it , the pulldown menu dissapears ! the popup menu (right click ) stays though...i mean it;s properly invoked on right click, but not the pulldown menu. problem 3: As i said before i am using an irregular shaped dialog box in my main window.after skinning , the messageboxes are also assuming the same shape, which i do not one.i want my mnessageboxes to be plainer.Would specifying a control ID for the framedialog or the shapedialog help ?How can use a diff shape for my messagebox than my other dialog boxes? I would be glad if anyone can solve my doubts.Thanks to all the contributirs in advance Regards Kane "Some guys hack just to get themselves a girlfriend.What a pathetic reason, huh ?"

I'm afraid I've never heard of Skinmagic but why don't you contact its developers and surely they can help with these basic issues. Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows www.getsoft.com and coming soon: Surfulater www.surfulater.com

Hi..Checkout this... Problem 1:----------------------- Solution 1: Please position mask at right positon. your image & mask are not overlap exactly.that's not matter which tool you used to create background..as I always use painbrush. Problem2:-------- Solution 2: this is your coding problem..please check again. Problem 3:----------- Solution 3: You sud use your own bug tracking system.. How? Make a Dialog and place static text on that. check error & show & use that dialog. One other way you can customize this by storing bitmap(and mask) setting in file or database. & while starting application check that file or database & use bitmap and mask according to that.. OK!
