Little help with skin

Hi guys,
I'm customizing my opera skin, and have 3 problems. I need to find 2 graphics to alter them and part of the skin.ini file.
First one is that little dropdown triangle, that is shown in red circles on screenshot. I cant find the right img in zip archive.
SOLVED



Second, separators on zoom slider. 100%---150%---and so on....

And third, text color on that zoom popup (notifier). It is not the same as other notifires (tab name popup or wand popup for choosing passwords)

before i start

do u know

opera:config#Debug%20Skin

trick ?? (debug mode) - paste it in adress bar and go to it

answer for 2nd question is

for slider

[Zoom Slider Horizontal Track]
[Zoom Slider Horizontal Track.disabled]

u need to draw them ur self in some graphic program GIMP for example

as for ur 3rd question i found it once in my skin but its part of some main part of skin
i was trying to find it now with no effect

all text in my skins is withe or black so it will be hard for me to find it

what i can suggest u is

make screen shoot of that part (just like the one above - but its jpg so i cant check the color my self)

and use this HTML Color just click (SCREEN BUTTON)

on it and than move ur mouse cursor on screen shot part where text of zoom window is and than click it and copy color code from that program

and than just ctrl+F in ur skin.ini paste color code and edit all textcolor positions with that color to find it

this way for sure u will find it just can take allot of time but ur choice do u want to change it or ur too lazy to search

It is not problem to create them, but where i need to put them?

this is my default code from skin.ini

[Zoom Slider Horizontal Track]
Native = 0
Type = BoxStretch
Tile Center = backgrounds/zoomtrack.png
StretchBorder = 1 5 1 5
Height = 5
Width = 0

if I just put new img into that code, it will mess my whole zoom slider (ofc). And it is a little tricky to repeat that separator.

As for text color, tnx... I fixed it.

when u have code part like this

[Zoom Slider Horizontal Track]
Native = 0
Type = BoxStretch
Tile Center = backgrounds/zoomtrack.png <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-------------- this mean u have image for it already
StretchBorder = 1 5 1 5
Height = 5
Width = 0

in ur skin folder u have folder backgrounds and in there u search for zoomtrack.png (backgrounds/zoomtrack.png)

in short of it it already exist u just need to edit it



"if I just put new img into that code, it will mess my whole zoom slider (ofc). And it is a little tricky to repeat that separator."

about that well if u dont wanna mess ur zoom slider u can make screen shoot of it or re-draw it or take it from other skin

and about separators man u just split image in to 2 halfs than u split that 2 halfs in to another 2 halfs and this is how u make separator

i will make that separator example for u from my zoom slider but it maybe wont fit to ur slider so if not just post here ur slider and i just edit it as u wish

just tell me how separators should look - white, black, half or full long or short ?

just remember i need zoomtrack.png and zoomtrack_disabled.png

well idk how for u but for me with separators it looks kinda stupid but its ur choice

if u dont like this and cant draw it ur self just give me original here and tell me how u wish separators to look like

lol
silly me... I thought that I have to make two transparent img's in [Zoom Slider Horizontal Track]. One for zoomslider and one for separator, and ofc I was getting mess. I'm a newbie in this skinning thing.

But you were right, with separators looks stupid. I think ?m gonna leave it like this



Thanx again for your help and fast reply.

btw. this is how it look so far. Basically it's standard skin in dark tones with few altered elements

Direct link to IMG

since i got black windows theme than ur skin looks cool to me

anyway i need to ask u which part was that zoom popup window txt color (ur third question) ?

hi Zero

it was in

[Opera Menu Button Skin]

just add text color if it's not there

k ty for help
