Friday, April 11, 2008 by Vampothika | Discussion: Skinning
this shot was taken of my startmenu and the little explorer box is missing half of the magnifying icon... any idea why this happens? i have moved the box over so it fits in with my skin........

I get the same thing on the skin I'm working on........
If you type something in the searchbox the spyglass pops up to the center after words
and stays the for the rest of your session.
I've seen this on other skins as well so I'm ignoring it for the time being

Yeah that happened on my bold and it is happening on my new skin I am makeing now? It just may be because the Icon stays at the os default position when you move the search box up I have tried to mess around with the text. It changed just now as I was working on a skin and was messing with the bottom bar height? Maybie that has something to do with it?

that has to deal with your content settings.. change them (the top and bottom ones), you'll see that the stuff will move
**Edit**
Let me explain further... Its my belief that the box and buttons are set to a specific height from the top of the bottom bar image of the start menu. If you change the content settings for the top, the box does not move but the contents in it does. maybe its the other way around...
Mind you this is only my belief, but try messing with that

So what actually fixes this?Nothing I tried would budge it.And when you do type something...from then on it 'jumps' into place.

You'll need to play around with the margin settings I believe IR, not a 'true fix' per say but it will correct it

SKS6 is flaky stuff...hard to navigate,some controls work backwards...takes longer to do anything...huge wasted screen space...no explanations of anything.
Terrible.

I feel your pain I.R. 
These 2 issues have bugged me while skinning.
It seems that in order for the search box and shutdown buttons to be aligned correctly, one has to design one startpanel around the buttons and searchbox!
The only way I've found to combat the misaligned search icon is to mess with the height of the bottom bar. The buttons cannot be moved..... (
Perhaps I just an idiot and someone will come along and correct me if I'm wrong

all progs menu is the wrong color...it looks like the classic button face color...can it be set different than the button color?
Text on the search results isnt centered on the mouseover.Sits low...looks like shit.
Mouseover on the search everywhere and internet runs off the end of the all progs arrow area...crap.
User icon background dosnt work.
This is just issues on the Start menu...cant imagine what other fun things are headed my way.
