how to edit a skin to put the close/max/min buttons on the right
Sunday, August 10, 2003 by wezley nipes | Discussion: Skinning
can anyone teach me how to use skinstudio in order for me to edit a skin (for personal use) so that the min/max/close buttons are on the right. they are on the left now......duh. ive tried, but with no success. it also has a roll up button on the right now, so if u could include that too, thatd be great. thanx

I think its becuz there is written "Align to left".. Change to "Align to Right", alignment (horizontal about 40. That should do the trick.

In SkinStudio, click the button you wish to move (in the preview window). In the right tree view of SS select "Alignment". Set the "Button Aligment" to "Relative to top right of window", then adjust the "Button Offset" to position the button where you want it. Be aware, that there will be more than one button for each position. ( I think there are 6 entries for the minimize button in that skin) You'll probably have to adjust the Titlebar text alignment also. Remember to save your changes.

Can you give us a link to the skin you want to edit? There may be more involved than simply moving them.
btw......... love your movies.
