Another question for skinning in SKS 6/7

from WinCustomize Forums

So while making my border frames. I noticed my arrows for resizing sometimes start out away from the application. I searched here and found that its because its starting where the shadow ends. Fair enough.


Here is the other problem though. It seems no matter what i change "Sizing Area Size" to it wont actually change. It stays at a very small area on my windows. Specifically on the caption border. I currently have it set to 9, it started at 2. It acts the same as 2 did. Maybe I am editing the wrong value? Code editor is saying the same number so its been updated in that as well.

Any help as usual is apreciated. =D

That setting doesnt work, it will grab from the last visible pixel of the dropshadow... or frame.... or glow :rofl:

Right, but what about how long the arrows stay up? Like it stays up very shorly.

Just don't using a large shadow on your borders, I would say 2-3 pixels at the most.  Mine are set that way and the sizing arrow grabs pretty well right where it should.

See, when you move the cursor, the resize cursor stays up for a certain distance as you move in and out of its range. Ive noticed on the sides, it stays up longer, where as on the caption the cursor has much less space before it returns to the normal cursor.

Sounds more like a cursor issue, all the WB controls is the point where the cursor engages the last painted pixel in the frame.

Well you are right about that it apears. I tested on other themes and have the same result. I wonder if its always been like that and I just didnt notice until I started messing around with making a skin lol. Most likely thats it I bet. Im using typical vista mouse cursors. Never change them, always use the norm / default.

 

Owell. Thanks yet again. You guys are very nice and I appreciate it. =)
