Titlebar Help

Monday, February 13, 2006 by JukEboXAuDiO | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I am building yet another skin and having some trouble with the buttons like close, minimize, etc. The size of the bar is set to 18 cause thats the size of the frame for the picture of the top frame and I build the close buttons and the such. Caption size of the top frame is 18 and the alignment of the buttons are (say the close button is 22,2). Why why i apply the skin to see what it looks like, the button is not there? Its invisibule. If i click the area it closes the program. The picture for the close button is 8 frames cause it has an animation. I set animation to 8 frames at a rate of 100. I am using Skin studio 4.6 and windowblinds 5. Can someone give me a hand?

The title bar buttons in a 5.0 skin have 8 states without any animation. 5.0 buttons don't support animation.

You need to enable translucency to see the buttons. Go to WINDOW BORDERS/TITLEBAR BUTTONS-FREE FORM section in the left tree of Skinstudio. In the right tree 2nd propety down is TITLEBAR BUTTON-Transparency.
