me too...... just started making some and I would like that info too. Also, it would be great if we could use .png's for ALL the images in the skin as it makes transparency much easier to deal with. Can this ability be programmed into an application like RightClick? I hope so!!

Yeah...those things would be nice BoXXi! It just doesn't look right when the main WB skin has transparent borders and the right click skin doesn't.

Well....I can tell you for sure that the arrow right images can use .tga's....so at least there you can create a good image.

Yeah would like to see this myself. And does anybody use the email checker in rightclick? Says, that i'm missing SDmail.dll or something like that.

This is a guide to show the basics of RightClick.  Zubaz has a great idea as someone should start the entry in the wiki, post here about it, and then let everyone give their input.

Well...since the edit option doesn't seem to be working again...

If I had one complaint in all these years of using stardock apps it would have to be a serious lack of documentation. Leaving it up to the user to create tutorials is really a diservice to stardock as well as the user. Its like building car and hiding the ignition in the trunk or under the wheel well for the buyer to try and find it. Many more skins could be created for this if there was at the very least some idea of what image formats could be used and where...and I find it kinda strange that I can use a .tga image in one part of it and only bitmaps everywhere else...why is that? Inquiring minds want to know. If we can use /tga in one part why not all? It would make the skins actually match the skins they were created for...with transparencies even!

Luckily, when I was starting out, messiah1 was there to help! I agree that a tutorial is sorely needed.

Who did develop this? .. and is that individual still around/on the team?

Goose!!

I may be wrong but I think that RC is skinned very much like ObjectBar and there is a tutorial here.

Maybe just a comparison of the ini files might help.

The menu background and up and down arrows must be bitmaps, the popup arrow (right arrow), item mouseover and selected and separator can be tga images.

Another goose casualty!

Right Click wass developed by Jeff Bargman.

What I'd like to know now is how to incorporate the "refresh" option into the menu! This is needed when using older skins that leave the startmenu behind after clicking the desktop.

And for the love of god can someone please make this text bigger as we type so we don't need a frakin magnifying glass to see what we're typing!
