Having just a liittle bit of trouble with Making Dialog buttons

Wednesday, November 19, 2003 by MadMike98 | Discussion: Skinning

I,m having some trouble making my dialog button appear correctly in Skin studio v3.96 I made my dialog buttons in PSP8 and the image I used was a chozo statue from Metroid 3, I duplicated 10 of them and resized them to the correct size of 33x32 when I imported it to SS the images were on top of each other, I made sure that the dialog buttons were correct and did that to my modified version of my dialog buttons, I would post a image but its to much of a hassle to post a image on my site and besides that webhosting site is currently reviewing my site this week.... if someone could help with this I would appreciate it also I,ll email you the image so that you can have a look at it.

Thanks

p.s. my skin is coming along nicely I call it XP Gold rush 2 !

can you put a screenshot of your problem in your user profile? (where your desktop image is). It sure would help. Not being able to see it, my guess right off the bat would be the frame count is wrong. Most button sets have five frames: normal , pressed, disabled , mouseover, default. If you want 10 images, you need to set the frame count to 10. I hope I'm understanding you correctly

Hey crissy I fix the problem I just needed to tinker the size a bit sorry about the post, but I have one more question.... How do I make the window buttons for my skin in PSP8 I tried making some myself but it didn't work out so well..... the kind of buttons I,m trying to make are round plus I don't know the size for it and to group them together with out it overlapping one another in skin studio if you don't understand look at your windows in the upper right hand corner then you'll see what I,m trying to do like others do when they make there's

Are you talking about the min, max, restore, and close buttons? Skin studio has default images of these. Open the default images in PSP and tinker with them till you get the look you want. Then save them. To make a round button , make a circle in each frame, then fill the rest of the frame with either a backgound color or magic pink. Then (in skin studio) adjust the margins untill the images look like round circles.
