I see how those menu_arrows.bmp get some of the directions in the SkinManager.cpp file:

static POINT g_ArrowSizes96[]={{0,3}, // insert left{3,6}, // middle size{6,9}, // insert right{10,14}, // right arrow{14,18}, // left arrow{18,25}, // down ...

There was one guy "meetHG" back on CSM who made Omni-Pic.skin7, that was like you,where he cut out everything to the bare minimum relying on the built-in defaults, then added what was needed.What would happen if you deleted all the paddings and see what ...

Hey, speaking of default stuff, there are default arrow bitmaps in there as well for 100 and 144 dpi.Did you ask if 125 dpi arrows can be updated/included along with the code to use them?Those internal ones work better(more functions)for the search arr...

I don't really know, but my guess is it uses the empty skin defaults.
I found these files in ClassicStartMenuDLL in Classic-Shell-master 4.3.1

SkinDescription.txt

; Empty skin - all properties are defaults, except:

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...

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.

Caption is only available on single column menu:

Guessing the determination would have to be in code in other files that tell it how to use t...

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 ...

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 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...

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...

@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 ...

This reminds me of the exact same problem I've had years ago trying to port a skin with different fonts.Did not work out.Yeah, looks like it uses the main font for the entry text.I guess Ivo just put in code for the search hint font mainly to use for the ...

It's not much of a deal right now, as I gather there are a couple months to go before Ivo pulls the plug on his site.
People can still download all their favorite old user skins from there until then.

I can imagine it took a lot of time, and no doubt many ...

Hello.I see there is a mirror of Thank you coddec.It will come in handy when the original site goes down forever.If one downloads an old user made .skin, .skin7 or .zip from this Github Archive,for example, "Metro Glass.skin", the download file becomes "fi...
