Shutdown/Logoff Dialog Button Painting Question

Wednesday, February 1, 2006 by Daiwa | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I am using 32x32 pixel images for the Shutdown Dialog & Logoff Dialog Buttons, which is the default size in the SKS-provided templates, for all the skins I've made but they are getting stretched vertically by a pixel or two on my new laptop with 1280x800 screen res running XP MCE. This is the first XP rig I've had that has not been on a domain, so this is the first time I've seen them (other than in SkinStudio's Preview window, where they are not stretched & look fine).

Before I modify them, does anyone else see this? Should the button size be different? SKS does not have sizing/content margin attributes for these so I assume they must be a specific fixed size (though SKS gives no guidance here, other than to provide the template image).

Cheers & Thanks,
Daiwa

After a couple of hours of experimentation, it appears the buttons need to be 33x33px overall size in order to avoid distortion. If you want a smaller button, just pad it up to 33x33 with magic pink.
