WB/Skinstudio mouse-over question

December 9, 2002 8:20 PM from

I have been playing with using bmp's as mouseovers in the start menu and the logoff area, but I can't seem to figure out how to do the same on the all programs section, I can only use a color. Is there something I'm missing or is this capability still missing in skinstudio?

They left that section out so the skinners could be more creative.

In other words there is not a background for More Programs but the section maintains it's size so put on the thinking/creative cap and go for something cool for that area.

yeah, there's a bitmap you can use...I think it's called menuitem.bmp something like that...check out Mikes new Colony skin. He has one and it works perfectly.

The Colony skin (which is awesome) only has color on the "all programs" not a bmp. I've never seen a skin with a bmp for this image.

I don't think it's possible to use a bmp for that.

There is not a bitmap for that area but like I said, the more programs bitmap keeps its size so you can simulate a mouseover bitmap.

treetog has many skins with simulated mouseover on the more programs.
