Thanks for the details, Frosty. I read somewhere that the Bottom Bar size is 1074x85...so I built my first skin at that dimension and it offset a little bit, so it seems the Bottom Bar handles 1024x85...that seems to be the magical number for that. Does not allow for skinning outside the handled size, so it's a matter of locking down the sizes of each element (which are predefined it seems) and then building with that schematic in mind when mapping the skin.
Any future ideas on allowing mapping outside the size? I tried using an "AbsDimension" xml function inside the mapping tags and it voided the entire SkinDefinition xml file...so that won't work
Had to try, though!
Or, allowing for the mapping of a "Chat Border"? I can imagine a lot of people would be interested in integrating their Chat Windows into the "Skin" of the UI (mainly the bottom bar, hence why I was tryin to skin all the way across the screen to do that).
