Fatman_do Wrote:It is always a good idea to look at the 'blue' skin xml files for a reference, since they will be the most current. I would really stick with this advice for now and also last comment from Fatman_do as well: Quote:there was no code for the top level folder "back" icon. This was hard coded. I would also still try and switch this to the developers forum  Steeb

dspdrew Wrote:I have a few questions still after reading through the tutorials. As fatman_do said the eight digits is to accommodate an alpha level. The first two digits are the hex value for the alpha (0-255) of the colour. The "color=" variable can handle named colours (black, white...etc), hex rgb values (#000000, #ffffff..etc) and eight digit alpha value hex colours. I pretty sure NPVR is hard coded to call a back.jpg file from the "..\_Common" folder in the skin directory. I also think it uses the: source="@previewImage" formatting when it gets called. Unfortunately I think it currently only supports the .jpg format - so no transparency.

If I remember correctly you can still use a transparent image by renaming the .png to .jpg, I am fairly sure (but I don't have time to check right now) that is what I have done with my skin & it works.

Yeah I noticed this in the silver skin. With all the transparencies in this app its strange he would hard code a .jpg.

Cheers Jaggy, nice one. I'll give it a shot. dspdrew: ^^^ This is the guy to ask about NPVR skinning, what he doesn't know - isn't worth knowing
