SKinSTudio Start Menu Problem
Sunday, June 3, 2007 by Julezah | Discussion: Skinning
I'm trying to modify a windowblinds skin i have so that the logon buttons appear as they should. its a vista skin and in the bottom bar image the logoff/shutdown button image is there already. The logoff buttons are placed on top but they do not contain any text. SkinStudio appears to insert the text next to the buttons automatically. I was wondering if there was a way to get rid of this text? Also, i can't figure out how to edit the bottom bar to get rid of the logoff buttons as it is a .tga file so paint won't edit it. Any help for either would be so greatly appreciated.
It looks like this:

You wont be able to get rid of the text and have buttons to look like that.
In SKS preferences to need to tell it to convert .tga to .png when opening a .tga file. That way as soon as you tell SKS to open it in Paint it is automatically converted to a .png before being opened in Paint.. when you save it, it will revert to a .tga for use in WB.

I've heard of people having bad experiences with the lspatch.. I would be wary of it.
