magic pink in the corners, and disappearing thumb pics...
Thursday, February 8, 2007 by Vampothika | Discussion: Skinning
Okay, I know this question has probably been answered somewhere, but I couldnt find it.
When I make a skin, and do the left and right windowframeuis2, everytime when i preview it in wb, the magic pink is always there in the large preview window, but not on my skin when its applied. How does one stop this from happening, as I would love to have round edges instead of square ones.
my second question is, when i do make a new skin, the little thumb pic in wb always disappears for it. Normally I just put up with this, wait till the end and make a new skin and transfer all the files over, and the pic is there. So anyone got an easier way for me, because thats really getting on my nerves and doubles my workload at the end.

when I say the thumb pic, i mean when you are in windowblinds, and you click on 'skins' you see the small preview pics of all the skins with their name underneath them, and the author. thats the pic i mean.

That "pic" comes from your WindowFrameTopUIS2 image...it has to be a bmp for it to show up in the preview. If it is a tga, it will not show up.
Hope this helps.

what is anti-aliasing? ... I still have no thumbpic in my preview for my new skin, ive deleted any file that has the tildakey (~) and ive saved the tga windowsframetop2uis as bitmap, but to no avail,
I know that down the bottom in sk, you can check 2 boxes, 1 to make the magic pink go away and the other for transparency... and i normally do that....but this 'no show' thumb pic has me stumped, ill play around again today with what information ive been given and see how I go.

When using a bmp, make sure translucency is NOT checked...that will make your image invisible. Translucency is only used for tga files. (It is the 2nd checkbox)

Not sure exactly what you mean by the "little thumb pic" in wb, though.
