SysButton Painting Issue in ShutDown/Logoff Dialogs
?New to WB6
Sunday, October 28, 2007 by Daiwa | Discussion: Skinning
I had previously had a problem with the System Button not painting with proper trans on a transparent ShutDown/Logoff background on a couple of skins I was developing in WB5. I figured out how to put a little opaque background in the area behind the System Button which worked fine with the System Button painting normally & as I wanted.
The rig I usually develop on has a domain logon so I don't see the ShutDown/Logoff dialogs unless I go to another of my workgroup rigs & load the skin to specifically look. I just noticed that the System Button is no longer painting correctly in those dialogs since the update to WB6 (currently 6.00[b].099 - first version of WB6 that I've taken a look at those dialogs). I just last week updated the last of my rigs from 5.5 to 6 so I can't load the skin on a WB5 rig to be absolutely sure, but I went to a lot of trouble to get the button looking right in those dialogs when I developed them, so I'm pretty certain this represents a change. Curiously, the button paints slightly differently in the ShutDown dialog than it does in the Logoff dialog, even though both use the same background image.
ShutDown dialog button:
Logoff dialog button:
The System Button uses Magic Pink for the corner pixel trans. I had tried using a .tga for the system button back with WB5 & .tga button on .tga background wouldn't work, either.
Anyone else notice a change in the painting of the System Button in these dialogs?
Here's my SysInfo (on XPP):

Thanks, John -
Was that the case with WB5? Doesn't seem so from my memory, but I have to confess I would more likely have double- & triple-checked the shutdown dialog as the logoff dialog is rarely used here.

I know on just about every skin the area behind the pushbutton on the loggoff dialog is blue.
