Horizontal Scrollbar Thumb Gripper not showing on skin!?!?

I've got rid of all my errors, I've removed the section from my code, and I've reimported the image over and over in different orders and different ways...but no matter what, I see the gripper on my vertical scrollbar and I DON'T see it on my horizontal scrollbar....the weird thing is that the grippers are part of the same file...scrollbarbuttons.bmp...the same file that has the up, down, left, and right buttons as well as the corner image for the scrollbar...why is one showing and the other not? Anybody?

Left tree: controls--> horizontal scrollbar. Right tree: show dot (gripper). Make sure that is enabled.

If it makes any difference, the gripper shows up in SS...but when the skin is applied, it does not...I DO get the gripper in OTHER skins though, so theres GOTTA be something going on with my skin.

Well,Im assuming you played around with the sizing margins, but what about the content margins for the scrollbar? If the content margis are set too far in or out you may not see the gripper.

hmmm...I've played around with the image margins...currently they're set to all 0...I'll try checkign the content margin though.

ok...I'm at work and am now unable to access the latest version of SS which I have at home...my code for the scrollbar looks like this:

[Scrollbar]
Image=Dark Temple\scrollbarbuttons.bmp

Thats all...shouldn't there be more???

I swiped the following from Doublet and it didn't help:

TopHeight=0
BottomHeight=0
LeftWidth=0
RightWidth=0
MouseOver=0
Tile=0

What else could I add?

Hmm. I just re-looked at a skin, and there are no content margins for neither the scrollbar nor the the gripper. Sorry bout that. How about changing the margins on scrollbar buttons to 2,2,2,2 to bring the margins in a bit as the grippers are quite small. If that doesnt work, try stretching the images. Also make sure the image for the horiz. scrollbar does not have transulcency checked

I have a suggestion ...download one of the gui widgets for SS (there are 2 for scrollbars)and import it into your skin and see if it clears the prob.Then replace the graphics with your own.
