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). |
I think somewhere there's a list of the elements and their sizes... but it might not have been made public yet (so hard for me to remember where I read things.) but the toolbar is 1024x85.
Mapping outside the size of a graphic (for stretching or compression, etc) won't be available, iirc. And using any other keywords than what we've published is forbidden. The format is mine! All mine I tell you! (ahem) It's a really simple XML format without all the function-y goodness.
I don't know anything about the chat border specifically, or if there is even an ArtAssetID tag for it. There are a bunch of media that we don't (currently) let you replace. I am currently unsure of any changes we will be making through launch.
