How to get a static image to work
Friday, December 15, 2006 by MrBiggZ | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I tried posting this some place else and it never even got hit on. If anybody knows where I can go for Sysmetrix theme help please point me in the direction. Below is my problem ..
Greetings!
Skinning for this app seems pretty easy. Right now I'm altering a skin that I liked and it only comes in 1280 and I need 1680. So, I'm in the process of getting things shifted around and putting a few things in the new realestate that is there. On thing is I wanted to put an image of a safri hat and when you click on it Windows Explorer launches.
Tried doing it as a button - no luck! And no I'm kinda at a loss. Could somebody give me a push to get me going?? I didn't really see anything that dealt with this in the docs (might have missed it). Once I get this to work I'll be a skinning master! (hahaha NOT!). But its getting me away from COD2 addiction!
Please help! I do appreciate the help, it just gives me more information to cram into my already overloaded brain cells!!!!
I'll be looking forward to getting this done!

Interactive buttons are the only way to do this.
You'll need to make an image (bmp) with 4 versions of your Safari Hat. You can make them all the same but they represent 4 different states "normal or off - mouse over off - select or on - on with mouse over" just make sure all four versions are the same size...i.e. if 1 hat is 20 high x 20 wide then your overall image will be 20 high x 80 wide.

Thank U Thank U Thank U!
I was 1/4 of the way there. Just had to multiply my image and it worked great!!!
I have one last question; I put my wireless signal in there as a bar graph. Only thing is it possible for it to exceed 100%?
I'm starting to feel dangerous now!
