Background behind Caption Text in title bar with 2 states?
Wednesday, June 24, 2009 by Lord_Zelo | Discussion: Skinning
Using SKS 6 Free.
I have my caption text centered in the middle of the title bar with the System Icon set to be to the left of the text. I have a background going across the title bar that makes the text Very hard to read. I want to add a background image to the text and system icon so that it looks better and is easier to read. I have noticed that I can add a background image to the caption text but there is no "2 images" option for the image, meaning it has a state for when the window is selected and a state for when the window is not selected by the user. Right now it looks like it only has 1 image and it is the same for the selected and deselected states for the window which in my theme are very different.
Anyone know a way around this or if I missed the option somewhere?
Thanks in advance,
-LZ

What version of SkinStudio are you using? I couldn't see the option to set the image count in mine. I really appreciate the quick response.

Never mind, found it. I didn't have "Experienced User Mode" turned on. So, those options don't show if that isn't on.

Make your image with 2 states first one for active and the second for inactive. Just set the frame count to 2.
This is the same for Perpixel frames too.
