It should have been in layers.
I will resend the stuff and seperate them for you. I have had that happen myself.
I don't have any 'states' for the window frame buttons. I'll send them along today as well. Probably this afternoon. I'm up early today cause it's a big day at the doc's this morning. (fingers crossed)

BTW.. the frame DL I got was psd but not in layers was it supposed to be cause I had cut them all out last time?

Here we go again ... !!
After a lot of mind-bending, I decided to apply the Stumpy Sheild for the clock ..I think it looks a LOT better then the last clock did , although I have left it in the skin folder , so that the DS user has the choice of clockfaces ...( very diplomatic, hehehe !! )
I have also made a Start Panel up ~ see screeny ~ the word 'Stumpy' changes to 'Sidebar' on hover
~ a pretty neat trick to do that too .. took ages to work it out right !!
Being a 'Lighter' Coloured Sidebar , has opened up the skinning possibilities to further variation , and the result is what you see ..
OPEN CAPTIONS .. Wood on Black ..,
OPEN CAPTIONS HOVER .. Black on Wood ..,
CLOSED CAPTIONS . . Wood on Green ..
CLOSED CAPTIONS HOVER ..Gold on Wood ...
The Weather Window you see is made up of the ROUGH WOOD FRAME , although I did think about putting the EMERALD frame there ..Both Look quite good ...
I will try and post a composite screeny soon , with the news alert, weather alert popup/detail windows , as before ..
Anyway here ya' go for now ... I think it's quite a funky Sidebar this one ... !!

Just for the hell of it, I've whacked one of the window frames into a test WB to see what it looks like
Does the Emerald to gold transition seem a bit jaggy? This is the non per pixel frame. Anyway I'm sure Harley can do a better job.... I was just curious
Mike just for a laugh, can you try out Stumpy with a black background to see how it looks? Seems to me, the side "pole" gets lost against the rough wood..... just a thought

Hey there Tim .. Yup , No probs ... I was thinking about that when I went to bed ...
The side pole is what us DS'ers call a 'border' We can widen it too ..
Anyway ,Coupla screenies for ya .. here you go

I don't know I had the same issue so I remade a couple of areas, here is what I came up with

I am having a bad couple of days here, sorry.
What is the issue with the frames? I notice that the top frame isn't 'centered' between the corners. Is this a design issue on my end that I need to correct? I don't understand the 'smooth' transition issues either. (I am just a lowly Smedley) If you could explain it to me, I may be able to fix it. I think my problem is my approach to the skin, in that I treat it like an image and not something technically functional.

1st-No Problem I hope they smooth out and you and your family and you have a wonderful Christmas!!!
2nd-
We have to have roughly 75-100 pixels on the right for the buttons
*however if we have 100 on the left that would mean you could only have a window 2oo pixels with/out sizing issues
since we have to stretch or tile between the gold we need less margin on the side w/out
buttons for the window to get small enough
3rd-The transition is not an issue I can change it I just thought it looked better on the hard frames (green&black) to have a little step down form the gold
The wood frame (since wood can be easily carved look better smooth)

Pretend I'm skinhit and explain it to me like I'm six years old.
Do I need to make the gold corners smaller?

Po each buttons need 4 states (normal)-(pressed)-(diabled)-(highlight) but if you have the (normal)-state i can can make the others or you can send me all 4 states
Those 4 states are repeated for the inactive frame so the final image look like this.....
(Normal)-(Highlight)-(Pressed)-(Disabled)-(Inact.Normal)-(Inact.Highlight)-(Inact.Pressed)-(Inact.Disabled)
The example above is in the per-pixel frames .However the roll up and roll down feature as far as I know is only available UIS2 (non-perpixel frames)
Yesterday had all the frames about together when I had error and lost them but I am back on it!
BTW.. the frame DL I got was psd but not in layers was it supposed to be cause I had cut them all out last time?
