Wnidowblinds skinning help please

Wnidowblinds skinning help please

Some skins have a different font color on the normal, hover and pressed
states of the toolbar buttons.
I have tried disecting those skins with all my might, but I can't figure
out how it's done. In the [toolbar] section, I saw that I can add color presets for both the Normal and the Pressed state, but I need to specify a different color for the Hover state. I know it can be done, I've seen many skins set up like that...
You see I am making this skin and the toolbar buttons are light on the
normal state but dark on hover. I need to change the fonts so the text can be legible at all times.
Can somebody help, please?

Frogboy, OK. Yes, I did that, for Normal and Pressed... But what I need is MouseOver, and it's not there. Adding it manually doesn't work either (I tried adding manually MouseOverColor=1 but it doesn't do it)...

Now I know it CAN BE DONE, cause a I've seen skins doing it, including a few skins from Alexandrie. I will try to contact her directly...

and what about the rest of us? are we going to know what is going on with this problem?

Frogboy,
there is not any "Colour - Normal and Color -pressed" to select there! but only tile edges, transparency-level and omit painting for the first frame!
I don't know where paxx find it...
(I am using the Skin Studio 1.2.0 build 370)

I am using the latest version of Skins Studio and in: Controls/Toolbar/Toolbar buttons, you have the "Colour - Normal" and "Colour - Pressed" attributes. From there, select the color preset that you defined in the Colour Presets section.

And Yes! Alexandrie has been kind enough to explain to me how it's done. It seems that it's a new attribute and it is not fully supported yet, so for now you can't specify the Colour Preset for the "Mouseover" state, it uses necessarely the Colour Preset 0. So the only way to do it is to define the Colour Preset 0 as the colour you want for your MouseOver then use other presets (1 or 2 or 3, ect.) for the Normal and the Pressed state.
Note that you have to do it the same way for other presets (layout preset or Font preset).
Future version of Windowblinds will proabably enable you to use the preset you want but for now, it's gotta be preset 0.
But it works! Yeah!
