For some reason, I cant get the preview bar for my GUIO skin 'Mime' to show in the WB Config...

What causes this, and how can I make it display itself correctly?

Minimize button being 'disabled' in the preview


I have my MyPod skin set up to not show buttons when the window is inactive, and it removes the minimize button in the preveiw.

Took Mime off the GUIO site to update it and when I put it back up I got an Email from T-Man saying he spotted the error that this thread was originally created to fix...Wants me to fix it before I put it back up... (Says the .uis is corrupted)

Fair enough...It does need to be fixed...

But HOW?

Ive gone through the code in SkinStudio...Validated the skin...Fixed all the errors it found...Compared the .uis of ''''Mime'''' and a couple of other skins that have their previews working...Didnt see anything that looked remarkable...and the dumb preview still doesnt work...(see picture at the top of this thread)

EventHorizon is lost...

I could send someone the skin if they wanted to have a look at it...

Look for the skin called HalloWin WinFlag. It has the same problem as your skin. I have no idea what they have in common, but it might be something useful for you to look at.

My old Sailors Delight WB had the same prob also..still does...

...And so does the Default Luna skin...Which may be part of the problem...In SS, when you create a 'new' skin, it starts you up with Luna...and you replace the graphics. ('least, thats the way I did it)...

I started with the Def. Luna skin, and then built Mime by replacing the graphics...

...Probably not the best choice, (and I wont do it again in the future)...but I dont feel like going back and totally re-doing Mime from scratch...

Theres got to be some small line of code in there somewhere that makes it screw up like it is doing...

OK...

For future reference...

The WB Configuration utility does not display the targa format correctly..so if your Titlebar image is a Targa, it will not display correctly in the WB Config...

Glad thats fixed...Time to re-upload.
