Windows remain "active"
Saturday, April 3, 2004 by Sput | Discussion: Skinning
I'm working on a skin where I'm trying to have window buttons outside of the main window frame. I realised recently that to do this, the title bar graphic has to include enough magic pink to "host" my buttons...so great, I now have them where I want - BUT.....
When I switch focus from a window, it remains in the "active" state unless I then roll over one of the buttons in the title bar of the now inactive window.
Why? *sob*
Anyone else had this symptom before? I had hoped it had been caused by the latest WB build, but other skins I have still work fine so I guess it's something in what I'm working on.
It may be complicated by the fact that I have a "do nothing" button behind all the other buttons to allow them to merge with a textured title bar seemlessly....?
HELP! I only have a short while to as I'm hoping to get this in the GUIO, and this (and the missing menu separator) are holding me up badly.

I've had to give up on the design I had hoped for because of this "bug"...ah well, ya can't argue with what works, you have to work around it.
