I guess it all depends on the floating sides.

Very true. For now, the extra space on the outside is the same for all DPIs, so everything should be relatively linear. But I'll probably have to consider that if I change it in the future.

By the...

I guess it all depends on the floating sides.
If you have an extra bitmap for higher dpi that has more invisible parts,
it may not track correctly unless you've included that into account.

I'm glad we are not using Gitter for this.By the time it's done this...

Got it. I ended up going with this:

Main_padding=14,14,5,14,36%,36%,100%,36%

If my math is correct, this should be the same as how I did it before, at least for all reasonable DPI settings. And it looks like OSM does round up and down correctly, so hopef...

Not that I'm aware of if it's the Override system DPI: settings

If it's paddings for text, icons, arrows, and menu paddings, etc,
never tried it.
I just skip the % and put the exact pixels in for accuracy.

Continuing the topic of DPI, I have a question about scale factors: If I used a scale factor with a decimal, for example 35.7, do you know if Open-Shell will recognize the decimal? I'm currently trying to replace the custom paddings at different DPIs with ...

Just a thought, but maybe the extra horizontal could be for a caption in the Classic2 style? Unless it has already been tested of course. Then again, I'm not sure how the program could determine which group would go to each item.

Speaking of HiDPI
I wanted to see what would happen if I put

[EXPERIMENTAL_SEARCH AND SEARCHBOX]
Main_bitmap_slices_Y=13,1,1,29,1,30

to hopefully make your search part of the Main bitmap enlarge for large font and higher dpi.

No luck. It's ...

Ok, I tried the icon frame selection, and it seems to work well! I think I will go with that, since it's not much worse looking than the previous one. It's also better since I won't need to make new selection slices for each DPI, when I get to that point.T...

Hey Came back again. Just want to say you've taken the bigger search box area further than anyone else.It's a lot of work making all the different bitmaps for all the ways the options interact.A user will only see two different search boxes.Only the skin...

One last thing.Anyway, there is still a way to stop at least the brighter 2nd column selector it uses for the new button.Just make 2nd column selector transparent 1/255 alpha.Then make the icon frame image do the work of the selector by using a 2...

I'll post something else here if I find any other roadblocks. But it seems to be been going pretty smoothly so far.

Ok, thanks a lot for the input.I guess there's just a weird thing with the buttons specifically. You're right, also, that these probably won't have too many "new" shortcuts. I'll probably keep the right-hand icons somewhat default (the ones that work) and ...

I went back to your unmodified skin where it uses:Main2_new_icon_frame_selection=$SystemAccent|$StartBackgroundMain2_new_icon_frame_selection_tint1=$SystemAccentMain2_new_icon_frame_selection_mask=19Main2_new_icon_frame_selection_slices...

I went back to using the program's command and upgraded some program software.Did not hover over the menu to make sure anything "New" did not turn off.It displays like this on both original and modded skins.I still don't see anything wrong with it being ...

I switched to the Metro skin.
It sure looks like the button is borrowed from the main selector and mixing together with the icon frame.

I went back to your unmodified skin where it uses:Main2_new_icon_frame_selection=$SystemAccent|$StartBackgroundMain2_new_icon_frame_selection_tint1=$SystemAccentMain2_new_icon_frame_selection_mask=19Main2_new_icon_frame_selection_slices...

Your skin works better for sure.
It may do the same on this one, but I dont have that link for that Microtodo app/program.
Am I wrong to think that there will be very few of those links that have anything new anyway?
I'm still using OSM 4.4.157

Ok, the r...

Very weird. In my case, the new selector does appear for both "tile" and text items, but only one of them uses the correct one:Maybe something is wrong with the file I uploaded, but I'm really not sure. At any rate though, the only explanation I have for t...

Hi @bonzibudd

I don't get what you got in your picture. I get no new anything showing.
I thought it was because you had changed the text from my bad suggestion:

Main2_new_icon_frame_selection_mask=19Main2_new_icon_frame_selection_s...

@bonzibudd
I don't see anything wrong with your slightly brighter new selection picture.
What look were you originally trying to achieve with the new selector?

From what I know looking at this picture of someone's menu, the icon frame shows as a laye...

I think my skin is different in this regard, since mine uses the icon frames for the tiles themselves. It's basically just a square bitmap with vertical and horizontal offset, and the selection has been altered to account for the offset. The problem is tha...

@bonzibudd
I think for my experimental skin, I just reinitialized Main2_new_selection to "0", so it will just show a copy of the default main2 selector as a new program.
I turned off icon frames on 2nd column.

I can't remember if at some point I ...
