Okay....I've not had this problem before with a skin, but this one I'm working on now is about to drive me crazy. I've imported an image in to use as the menu background on the pulldown menus, and the MS Menus. For some reason, it's not showing up. It says it's there in Skinstudio, and it shows in the window preview just fine. But when I actually apply the skin, the menus are all pinkish/white instead of silver, which is what they're supposed to be. I thought at first that maybe I didn't apply the transparency to the menu item highlight, and it was actually covering up the menu, but no. If anybody has any idea what might be going on, I'd appreciate it. I know it's kind of hard to figure these things out just by telling what's going on, but I'm giving it a shot.

or you don't have the proper transparency settings for the mousover image.

I'm pasting the URL from the page that's got the closeup image. I wonder why it's not working.

I've replaced both images to see if it's the images themselves, and it still looks the same. This is so bizarre!

What type of image is it? If it's an imported png converted to tga it could be the colour depth. Some programs like Paint Shop Pro need to be told about colour depth/compression otherwise they use defaults.

Couldn't really say for sure without getting my hand on it. This is where WC could do with a WIP section...

No, that isn't what the Graphics section is for. The Graphics section is for items you wish to pass on to others copyright free.

I suppose you could upload it to your personal page and post a link to it in a thread like this.

yeah..still, its just not the same a WIP section, IT..can really help generate a buzz and anticipation about upcoming skins, provide valuable feedback for the authors as well as motivate the artist and provide a way for the community to participate more in the creative process..

Hmmm...maybe it something to do with your Pull Down Item or the Flat menu option is enable? maybe?
