seperating min/max/close mouse overs

Monday, October 2, 2006 by cmosentine | Discussion: Skinning

Hello all:  Yeah, I'm a newbie so be kind and use vasoline please.

I am working on merging features I like from three existing themes into a new theme.  But I am having a hard time getting mouse-over to work independently for each of the min/max/close titlebar buttons.  My current implementation has newly created min/max/close buttons.  When I move the mouse to any of these buttons, all three respond together.  They are free-form buttons, not per-pixel.  How do I seperate these actions??

Thanks, Chris.

Assuming you're working on a WindowBlinds skin, with SkinStudio.....
It sounds to me that you have the alignments overlapped somehow.

There is a setting for per-pixel frame buttons that will cause just what you're describing, but you said these are not per-pixel buttons.
Just in case the setting affects all titlebar buttons, check this setting.
Highlight "Window Border - PerPixel" in left tree. In the right tree, make sure "Hover all buttons" is not enabled.

That's all I have to offer at the moment.

Yes, I should have detailed my system. I do run WB 5.01 and use the latest SkinStudio. I have been looking at the code differences between "Tiger 2" which displays the buttons seperately and "OSX Tiger B V" which does not. I can't figure out what is different with regards to how the bottons get displayed???

Thanks, Chris.
