I've developed some skins in the past, so I'm not a complete noob. But I'm having some trouble with the basics after updating to the latest beta as of today. Problem is, I'm trying to create a BAR for WiFi signal strength. But the image I'm using isn't getting set to the correct position, or resized. Here's the skin:
Looks like the graphics files are different sizes and the X=0r means they appear to the right & below (relative). Match coordinates, and check that the images are the same dimensions.

Bar meters do not obey W and H when an image as used as the bar. You need to be sure the actual image is the size you need. The image meter you are using as a background for the bar meter can be sized with W and H, but the image used as the "bar" cannot. So you need to actually make the bar "image" 24 X 24 or whatever size you need in Photoshop or Gimp or something. Then you can get the background and bar images to line up and get the effect you want.
In fact, it would be a lot easier to create one 24 X 24 image with the "highlighted" color, and use the same image for both. On the image meter for the background, just set GreyScale=1 on the meter. Then the same image will work for both purposes and will line up just right.

No... "R" means that. "r" means relative to the beginning of the previous meter, so "0r" would be at the same starting point as the previous. His problem is a size one, not a position one.
