Need help with adding a button to a skin

Post by 1lluminatus »

I'm trying to add a button to my skin. I have made all 3 states and saved as png. But when I add it to my skin, about 75% of it get's cut. And when I hover over it with the mouse, I get to see the other end of the skin (Part that is cut off), at exactly the same place as the part that does show.

I don't know what's wrong and desperately need help. Is there by any chance a limit to button sizes with RainMeter?

EDIT TO ADD: All 3 states of the button work. For each state I get to see a different part of the entire button. But, never the entire button shows.

Are all three sections of the button image the exact same size?

I finally figured out the problem. Didn't understand the tutorial quite right lol. I placed all 3 images on top of eachother, instead of beside eachother hehe :D

Thanks anyway though!

EDIT: Actually, I could use some help for the next step. I'm going to create an sliding (opening/closing) animation. How do I link clicking the button to the animation playing AND Feed showing at end of animation/not showing when closing
