Change the width setting on your center skin to:

W=(#SCREENAREAWIDTH#-200)

The width of your side bars need to be subtracted from the full screen width.
Note all calculations must be inside parentheses ().

That should display your bar correctly across the entire screen.

okay, i didnt want to make a new thread and this one isnt really that old so, my next step is, i want to now set it up so it can handle variables from a different interface, so basically what i want is have my icons point to a directory right, but i want users to be able to change those directories easily by say, using another panel with a text box for the user to define where the target executable is, basically what im asking is, how would i parse user changable variables from one skin piece to another??
