Hey,
I have a problem with the sizing of the Taskband item buttons.
My original PNG has a gradient that doesn't display right when I apply the theme, so I tried changing the sizing margins to the path "Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Basic > TaskBand > TaskItemButton" where the image is located but it didn't work.
Image:



How can I fix this?
Thanks!

An idea would be mess with the sizing margins, and if that didn't work just make the taskbar buttons smaller.  7 is just sizing them smaller in the wrong way.

It didn't work, and I kinda guessed it in advance since the problem occurs with small icons too. Thanks for trying though ..

Did you try to "shift-import" your image ?

Good point, thanks. That -kind of- worked, the gradient is displaying properly now but it is opaque even though I have Transparent:bool checked..



Any ideas?

I think
Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Basic > TaskBand > TaskItemButton   BGTYPE:ENUM IMAGEFILE

Sorry but I'd rather keep it private for the moment. Tell me what you want to know about the theme and I'll give you the info..

Well what you need to do is save a 32 bit bmp with a alpha channel and through it into a alpha converter and then click shift+import

WSB doesn't import images with gradients properly.

Yeah I noticed somehow... lol
But that never happened before so I don't know. I'll try using Restorator to change the image then.

EDIT: Didn't work even with Restorator. The gradient still appears opaque.
