Yay to
Frosty for giving us the new art asset pack for V3B2. Although we already knew the most important changes (and I was personally hoping a bit more, but less is far better than nothing ^^)
I'm not going into the new ArtAssetID's as the changes are mainly listed in V3B2_Differences.txt. Sadly all date info has been wiped down from the Targa (.tga) files so it's hard to see what files has been modified. I can however confirm that letterbox_bottom.tga (mainbar) has grown height from 85 pixels to 90 pixels, so you need to fill additional 5 pixel below your mainbar art (if you're not using a custom sized mainbar).
With Art Asset pack there comes a file called SkinDictionary.txt which includes all the structural info for how to modify panels etc.
I made a fast compare between the V2B9 and V3B2 SkinDictionary files. There wasn't much new and mainly there's a huge amount of new ???BuyNow??? store related elements (I didn't bother to list any of them).
This is no tutorial of any kind, just a fast preview what new we got. The list might not be accurate and it misses some tags but I tried to gather up the most interesting ones, and some that I have no idea what they do at the moment:
("..." means the new section starts somewhere below that specific PanelFile. Empty row means that there is some other old tags between that I left out)
