My guess is you are tying to make it too small, the window probably has a min-width property, not sure (I haven't tried to create a skin), but I would guess that is possibly coded into the client... Rotating the text would probably be a FunCom task, so don't hold your breath.

For some reason i have to use the right mouse button to resize, weird. I'm not sure how that switched, but i have to do that in my normal GUI now too. Any ideas?

Not sure, have you got the swapped mouse button functionaltiy enabled in the AO control panel?

Bump - best skin ever - thanks !

i agree, but i don't like the window tabs with the two little blue squares on each side of it. Looks kinda botched. I think the tabs should be normal. Other than that, great skin.

i downloaded it, and the mini tool bar wasnt showing even though i had it ticked, ill stick with Foxy's Gui, its uber.

im 100% sure it will mess up things in the current version of the GUI.
hoping Misat0 will react fast

Really like this skin. I edited some of the scripts a bit, and added something I liked from my old skin, a little perk action menu. Also changed the main menu a bit and repositioned a few things: http://www.freewebs.com/moniker/scrn0465.png

Of course, I will, up to now, I haven't seen any problems so far.
I'll also see to get the next version in line when the patch hits live.

i posted this before but could you add a modified version too, where the corners of the windows are not curved, coz i like the rectangular type (i cant express how mutch i hate the blue-curved-edged skin of winxp

)

**Sloathe** · Dec 29th, 2005, 07:55:32

Nevermind, got it working. This has to be one of the best GUIs today, along with RaeSkin. Way good job of bringing the original thing back

Seems that the zip file is corrupted?

Yes, I will do that, maybe in time with next "curved" version. Think I ve the old gfx lying around somewhere...

^^ There'll be both versions, edged for the ones who like them and the curved for all who what it as far as possible like Dovvetech (like me)

I was 1/2 tempted to go back and see about retrofitting the original hacked AO skin (I think I kept archives of the photoshop files somewhere) until I saw this.

I really like this. Really. Using it now.

Except, the health/nano/xp bars are way too bright for me. I keep them centered in the middle of the screen for PvP and they plain hurt my eyes.

If you don't want to create a toned down version, np, I can go figure out how to hack things again, but figured I'd ask

What I'd like best is the current bars, but with a 75% or even 60% transparent black laid over them. Just to mellow them out like the rest of the skin.

**Misat0** · Jan 3rd, 2006, 11:24:36

Just to have it clear, you're talking about the bars "normaly" positioned in the top left corner, not the ones in status windw, do you?
