Re: Re[2]: [Dynapi-Dev] skinwindow update (was: Making progress on a Java gui tool)

Thanks,
I added the cover layer, actually it's underneath the transparent capbar, so
caption isn't written to capbar anymore.
I added an IE only enhancement, while resizing in IE you see a black outline
(css border), in NS  the gray square remains.
The updated version is attached.

See example core.gui.skinwindow.htm at
http://www.resass.f2s.com/?menu=examples&node=1

While you're there check out Glen_Deas_Examples I think it's very good, a
good example of
"drag another layer on drag"  I'll document it a bit more though soon.

Cheers,
Richard  :o
