Hi

The point is the value of the "w" parameter. Yours is set to 210, this means that the width (length) of the slider is 210 pixels, far too much for the width of the main image.
Try to reduce this value (start ie with 50, then increase the value) til you get the wanted result.
You should also remove the w and h parameters in the group line

PHP Code:


			
<group id="player.seeker" x="1" y="20" />

The "w" parameter should be the same for the same parts in dark and light cases, ie left side dark equal to left side light, center dark equal to center light, etc

The width param of the grid, progressgrid and slider should be the same for these three objects.

If the main window cannot be resized, remove the relatw="1" code.

i'll try it.

by the way, how do you find out all the rules in creating a winamp morden skin. As far as the tutorials in Winamp.com it doesn't seem to help. I am stuck at the mute button. how dump.

Hi

That's the main part of the game : there's no valuable user's manual, you have to find the rules by yourself. The concept of skinning is to walk a long long way towards knowledge, never reaching the goal but finding gems from time to time, a modern version of the knight quest.

NO USER MENU!!!! |o| how is it possible.

I found that I have to put the w and h for this one
<group id="player.seeker" x="1" y="20" />

or else it will go out side of the basic background image.
