All Programs hover
Wednesday, March 17, 2004 by Satans Child | Discussion: Stardock Software
I need a little help please.
In the start menu when you hover over the All Programs button the default color apears on alot of skins, on others the graphic stays the same and only the color of the arrow changes color. OK, my question is what properties do I need to change to get the "hover" graphic to stay the same on, say "CopperDeck II" I've been in skin studio for a couple hours and just can't figure it out
any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just for anyone's info who might be using this tip - I've just found that the offset needed to line things up, and even the size of the graphic needed depends on the font size used.
This is fine as long as the end user sticks with what the skinner worked with, but if they use the "scale all fonts by x%" option in WB control then it really messes things up. I suspect a simmilar thing would happen if the user changes the DPI setting in display settings as that has an effect on fonts too.
This also probably explains why the number needed varies as different skins probably have different font sizes ed for the startmenu items which affect things!
