Three issues with Rusty Rooster
How to correct them in SkinStudio 6
Wednesday, April 9, 2008 by gardenerstouch | Discussion: SkinStudio
Here's what I have:
1. From what I have heard, this results from using large fonts... which causes the "More Programs" button to display too far to the right. How do I move it back to the left without going back to small fonts? Somewhere on WinCustomize.com the answer has already been posted, but I can't seem to find it again. Here's a link to an image illustrating the problem:

2. Somewnwhere on the forum, I've seen the answer to this one as well. The menus on some right click menus (I don't mean RightClick) are "munged". Here's an image illustrating what I mean:

3. This last problem I have not run across before. The Task Bar group menus are not displaying the correct color font. In SkinStudio6, I found the color setting for this font, and it is 0 0 0 (i.e. black), yet it displays as gray. What's wrong here?

If anyone can help me fix these glitches, I'll be most appreciative!

In SkinStudio 5, you have to go to section Start Panel / More Programs Panel / Background and then in "Content margins" set the left one to the correct negative value:
(ex: for me in french it's set to -155)
Though, seeing your shot, i think you'll have to decrease the value you get from 10 to 15 i think (you'll probably have to try different values before it will be correct ...)
N.B: I'm not sure at all you'll can see the section "Content Margins" in SKS 6

When selection an image, in SKS6, anywhere you see a "Text" tab, click on it and the contents margins are at the bottom right.

#1) Edit Startmenu and Taskbar/More Programs Background/Text tab - Make left margin more negative
#2) Change Skin Colours/Show me the skin defined system colours (drop down box)/Menu - you'll have to play with this to get it close as possible to color of the background of that menu.
#3) In Edit Startmenu and Taskbar/Taskbar Group Menu - Make sure to check the text tab in both Background and Menu Items
