SysMetrix trouble

Tuesday, January 25, 2005 by Epochalypse | Discussion: Skinning

Ok, here goes... I've been playing around with skinning SysMetrix for a few days now & I've run into some technical difficulties. When I go into the Theme Settings/Graphics section and add an "Always On" .png with alpha transparency it loads on the background image double sized. I'm just learning all this stuff and I am stumped.. Is it something with SysMetrix stretching the image or with the way I'm saving it? Any ideas... Anyone?

yes it's the way you save it....i had the same problem, but after
reading the sysmetrix documentation i found the problem....
i guess you are using photoshop to save the png.....if not
use photoshop....don't go to "save as..." but go to "save for web"
this should do the trick....only thing left to do is to align the png in
sysmetrix....well this should work so hope this helps......good luck

That'd be awesome if you could do that.
I'll send it over in .png ..
Thank You very much.

I just want to find a way I can do it with the tools I have so in the future I'd be able to do it on my own.
