Titlebar Text Background problem

I'm using skinstudio v5.0.1, and I've just hit an impasse in making a skin. I can apply a titlebar text background image, which after some tweaking I got to show, but I can't seem to set margins for it, so when I open a window with a wider titlebar the edges of my image stretch out and look utterly hideous and ridiculous.

How can I solve this? If I've overlooked something it must be pretty well hidden (or I'm a complete idiot)! Thanks.

First off, you have to specify here whether it's per pixel borders, standard, or both.
2nd off, there will be two settings for margins, one is standard sizing margins, and the other are content margins. Sizing margins keep the image from distorting due to tiling or stretching when windows resizes the windows. Anything contained within those margins is what gets stretched. Anything outside of them remains unaffected. Content Margins will keep the text from overlapping the images you use, and keeps things tidy. Try looking in the text sub-section of the borders attributes section.
There is also attributes designated to content margins for borders with icons, and without icons. Try tinkering with those a bit too. I'm not experienced with the text background because I've never used them, but it's a good possibility if it's not getting fixed thru tweeking those attributes, the others could help.
In your next post, leave us a screenshot here so we can see what kind of torture SKS is putting you thru too, it'll help a lot in figuring it out
