slider in posbar

[jh5jw]

Is it possible to change the shape of the slider, volume and balance bars? I know that you can trim them, but can you successfully cut out an image and use it as a button. I've tried using different layers and transparencies, but so far nothing has worked. I feel like this is either a rather common and easy task, or it is impossible. Thanks

Well, no, u cant change the actual shape of the sliders. U can give the illusion that its a different shape, but thats about it. For the bars, u can change it into any shape as long as it fits into the .bmp.

alright, thanks

I'm not sure if I understand what you're asking...but on volume and balance, you can trim the button totally off, and draw your own button into each frame of the .bmp

Hi,
I'm working on my first skin and have come up on a bit of a problem - I know it's possible to make entire parts of the main window transparent using the region.txt file but I just need to make the edges of the various posbars transparent (or whatever would result in that appearance) because I'd like them to be quite a bit smaller than the defaults. And since they pass over a gradient background I can't really paint in the background. I've seen it done in skins before (Act 2 Finale for instance) so I know it's possible. I've looked in the NSDN for help but I couldn't find anything there (I may have missed something, it's totally possible).
So from previous responses to this thread at least, I guess my question is how exactly do you "trim the button totally off, and draw your own button into each frame of the .bmp?"
Does Winamp recognise a certain color as transparent (like in cursors) or something b/c .bmp's don't do transparency (?). And what of non-rectangular shapes? Gah, any help here would be much appreciated.
-fig, hoping this wasn't too confusing.
P.S. Are [Normal], [WindowShade], [Equalizer], and [EqualizerWS] the only editables in region.txt?
