If you are making an oversized start button you to split the image into two sections one for the part that shows over the taskbar and one that shows underneath and on top of it.. this section is drectly under the start button section in the tree on left in Skinstudio and is called Start button Glow.

To understand this more fully load one of the (oversized) Orb start button type skins in Skinstudio and check it out.

Hope this helps.

Go to imageshack.us (or similar site)
Upload yoru image
Click on the image icon in the forum editor (last one, looks like mountains and sun)
Paste in the direct URL (http:\\www.somesite.com\somecode\imagename.jpg)

Done!

Not sure.. if thats all you have done..delete everything.. start again.. dont put ANYthing in start button glow.. just a 5 state image for start button.. and make sure the image states number..is.. on 5 in the settings.

Building a skin is a looooong series of trial and error..keep at it.. till you get it right.

Many years later.. I'm still learning.
