Skinning the Edit Box
Thursday, September 16, 2004 by Metallical | Discussion: Skinning
I have noticed that some skins are able to use an image for the "edit box". However, I can't seem to find how to do this in SkinStudio. All I can seem to be able to do is change the border color. how do i go about using an image to skin the "Edit Box"?
Thanks for any help!

Yes, I surely can. Brushed Panther, by Xero https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=1&SkinID=3476 , seems to have an Edit Box with rounded corners on it.
Maybe I am misunderstanding this, is there a way to just turn on some option like "rounded corners"? Or did Xero use an actual image for the Edit Box?
Anyways, thanks!

You can edit the background color by adjusting the classic colors in the skin.

I see what you're talking about now. The Edit Box is using the Combo Box image. But if you enable the Edit Box Edge Color attribute, it will no longer use the COmbo Box image.
