Win 7 Start menu search results problem
Tuesday, July 7, 2009 by I.R. Brainiac | Discussion: SkinStudio Help
As you can see ,Win 7 is pushing the progs side image around funny when you type in the search field.
Slides it right,ok...at least it uses the graphics and sizing margins there but...
on the bottom it cuts the image off badly and pushes down into the allprogs area...allprogs area normally 30 pixels,squashed to 22.
Its not using the progs graphics sizing margin and its pushing the allprogs graphic all the way to the right also.
I realise this is all beta but does anybody have a fix or workaround?

Hello I.R. Brainiac,
That's happening cause Windows 7 have new start panel parts for expanded and search mode.
You'll need some new sections in your skin .xp file, I'm working in a doc about this new sections and will put here on WC soon as I get it done, I have all writed but need to add comments explaining how the graphics must be (number of frames, state order, per-pixel or nont).

woohoo! That hopefully will give us a way to compensate for the expansion...current graphics and settings cant accomodate it without smooshing and chopping.
Thank you Dani!

This is the cause because i've renounce to create a substyle of my next skin for win 7, for me this startmenu reduce the possibilities of many creative and original startmenu, it was better the old search that don't cover left and right section of the menu

There should be a new SKS 7 beta next week with the additional sections added (though without previews for now)
