Sysmetrix question .. help?!

How to get a static image to work

from WinCustomize Forums

I tried posting this some place else and it never even got hit on.  If anybody knows where I can go for Sysmetrix theme help please point me in the direction.  Below is my problem ..

Greetings!

Skinning for this app seems pretty easy.  Right now I'm altering a skin that I liked and it only comes in 1280 and I need 1680.  So, I'm in the process of getting things shifted around and putting a few things in the new realestate that is there.  On thing is I wanted to put an image of a safri hat and when you click on it Windows Explorer launches.

Tried doing it as a button - no luck!  And no I'm kinda at a loss.  Could somebody give me a push to get me going??  I didn't really see anything that dealt with this in the docs (might have missed it).  Once I get this to work I'll be a skinning master! (hahaha NOT!).  But its getting me away from COD2 addiction!

Please help!  I do appreciate the help, it just gives me more information to cram into my already overloaded brain cells!!!!

I'll be looking forward to getting this done!

Sorry, I missed your other thread.

Interactive buttons are the only way to do this.

You'll need to make an image (bmp) with 4 versions of your Safari Hat. You can make them all the same but they represent 4 different states "normal or off - mouse over off - select or on - on with mouse over" just make sure all four versions are the same size...i.e. if 1 hat is 20 high x 20 wide then your overall image will be 20 high x 80 wide.

Lantec!

Thank U Thank U Thank U!

I was 1/4 of the way there. Just had to multiply my image and it worked great!!!

I have one last question; I put my wireless signal in there as a bar graph. Only thing is it possible for it to exceed 100%?

I'm starting to feel dangerous now!
