Text background...perpixel frames.

why is it cutting out the titlebar?

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 by I.R. Brainiac | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

the edges are cutting a chunk out of my titlebar.AND,the left and right content margins dont work for the perpixel titlebar...they are using the damn settings from the regular frames.

Something that would have at least helped with Slider...being able to turn off the text background for maximised windows...maybe possibly?


Any news on this ever being looked into?Neil asked if we wanted it to be capable of NOT cutting into the titlebar...but never came back to say anything else.

So in this skin you would want to make the bottom part of your image the same as the titlebar.


An impossibility...then it wouldnt match the maximised window graphic.

If you want it to blend instead of replace, use BackgroundEffect = 1 on the [WindowFrame.TextBackgroundPerPixel] section

Amen Neil...worked like a charm.Thanks mister.

Query...I see effect 6 is blur...but a lot of us have been using 10(which is of course not in the dropdown)...what is the difference?

I would never have tried a Background effect for anything but frames,Start menus and taskbars(and I try a lot of crazy stuff)...thanks for the info.

Now it just needs a third and fourth state to work...it shows normal and pressed,but maxxed frame dosnt have its own states.

Sometimes restored frames and maxxed frames are very different.If a 3 and 4 state were there(or a seperate pair of images were available for maxxed frames) ...you would have the option to make the graphic match better...or even blank for no image.

Thats what I was originally trying to do on Slider...a 'sliding' back for active/inactive...and no back for maxxed.  

Still...having proper translucency work there is good.
