How to Add\Change the Separators in a Dockbackground

Wednesday, March 12, 2008 by frankell | Discussion: Skinning

Hi
probably I was the first  to upload a skin in the OD library  "separators" category 
+ maybe  some instructions  are needed:
............................................................................................................................
"HOW TO ADD or CHANGE  the SEPARATORS"

Move the new separators in your dockbackground in use folder
(for  the single skin:  "separatorTB.png" + "separatorLR.png")
in the same folder open the dockbackground .ini file
 
1) TO ADD 
when you dont find any word  "separator" in the .ini file copy and paste the following text:

[SeparatorTop]
Image = separatorTB.png
LeftWidth = 2
TopWidth = 2
RightWidth = 2
BottomWidth = 2

[SeparatorLeft]
Image = separatorLR.png
LeftWidth = 2
TopWidth = 2
RightWidth = 2
BottomWidth = 2

[SeparatorBottom]
Image = separatorTB.png
LeftWidth = 2
TopWidth = 2
RightWidth = 2
BottomWidth = 2

[SeparatorRight]
Image = separatorLR.png
LeftWidth = 2
TopWidth = 2
RightWidth = 2
BottomWidth = 2

2) TO CHANGE
when in the dockbackground in use folder the separators alredy exists move them  in a new folder
then open the dockbackground .ini file
every time you find the word "Image" change the name after the " = "

separatorTB is for Top+Bottom
separatorLR is for Left+Right
.............................................................................................................................................

I hope the instructions are clear
AW this post is also to have the help from the top skinners  to improve them
thanks !!

BTW instead of the manual operation why not to have a new OD feature as for the "running indicators" ?
+ the External Link on the top is to the dockseparators I uploaded in the Gallery.
