Skinning Objectbar for Galciv2

What's wrong with this picture?

Thursday, March 30, 2006 by ZubaZ | Discussion: ObjectBar

This does not look right.


I open the default bar.
Theme Editor
Skin tab
Change skin
Use skin from WindowBlinds
Choose any of the available elemetns {Taskbar skin, Menu skin, StartPanel x4)
They all look really bad.
Are there elements missing?
Am I doing something wrong?

The WindowBlinds skins dont always just 'work' correctly with ObjectBar, since OB can only pull certain parts from the skin. Its often better to actually build a 'real' skin for OB using the graphics as opposed to having OB try and figure out what to do with the graphics, which might have different/incorrect margins for stretching etc.

Thanks Justin. I guess I'll have to make my first skin.

How hard can it be? Right?

I don't see a OB tutorial . . . am I missing it??
