Hi,

very nice skin, thanks for the effort. There's something that bothers me, though, and that's the text becoming bold on hover on the tab bar and personal bar. What do I need to change in the skin.ini to change that?

Text bold

The setting is Text bold = 1 (change the value to 0) and it's located, if I recall correctly, under the [Pagebar Button Skin.hover] and [Link Button Skin.hover] sections.

Thanks very much! :-)

…such that they have no bottom border? I mean: the selected tab “flood” into the rest of the widget, like window tab do. That would be also more coherent with the rest of your (wonderful) skin.

I agree that it would be

I agree that it would be somewhat more coherent but what about the shadow around the active tab?

I would go without it...

While the window tabs are “3D” the ones in Prefs & co look flat, so I wouldn't put any shadow. I was thinking about the way prefs tabs are designed in the skin “D.T.A” that I also like very much. Anyway: just my 2 cents. Thanks again for your good work.

In your original post you

In your original post you referred to dialog or pagebar tabs?

Glad you like the skin.

Sorry if I wasn't clear (english is not my primary language :) I have tried myself to modify the skin but I have no experiences so I can't understand what I'm doing wrong… Here you find a picture of what I'm triyng to achieve.

Thanks for you replies.

Ah, now I see. Changing this

Ah, now I see. Changing this border is not as trivial as it appears. I'll try to modify it in one of the next versions.
