Well, since the skin editor is broken, and there are no posts from stardock about fixing it, ive had to try to make my own skin by editing the .obskin files with notepad. Unfortunately, I dont know what does what exactly, and the skin im creating is going to be different than any others.

Basically i want each item to have a black outline around it, like this...


So the number of boxes has to change depending on the # of items in the menu (this will change because I have my taskbad in the menu) My only problem is that I dont know how to correctly tile it. But even if I did, objects like seperators and the system tray would make the tiling uneven.
explained here:


so what i would need, is for each object in the menu (like a shortcut to a folder, a running task, etc) to load a background file that would stretch itself to fit around just that one object. I have no idea if this is possible or not though!
