[Node-devel] Skin Loader 0.33

[Dionysis Z. <dio...@gm...>]

Hello,
With this email I would like to mention a few differences between the
Skin Loader of Node version "Alpha" 0.32 and "Llama" 0.33.
The first thing you should know is that there are some more Skin
Attributes set in the skin file.

The first two allow you to make the Text Formatting button skinable:

(Attribute: Description)
1) ButtonUp: Defines a picture filename, relative to the Skins folder,
which will be used in the place of the "more" button (also called text
formatting button) when the Text Formatting Toolbar is invisible.
2) ButtonDown: Similar to the above, but it appears when the Text
Formatting Toolbar is visible.

The next 8 allow a skin to change the appearance of the menu, at the top:
Note that all colors are in VB Long format.

3) MenuBackgroundNormal: The color that appears as the background to
all menus horizontally.
4) MenuBackgroundHOver: The color that appears as a background when
the user moves the mouse over a menu.
5) MenuBackgroundExpanded: The color that appears as the background to
all menus vertically (i.e. inside an expanded menu).
6) MenuForegroundNormal: The color of the letters in horizontal menus.
7) MenuForegroundNormalVertical: The color of the letters in vertical menus.
8) MenuForegroundHOver: The color of the letters when the user has the
mouse over a menu item.
9) MenuSeperatorColor: The color of the seperator between menus (only
used in vertical menus, it is the horizontal line that seperates menu
items).
10) MenuShadow: A pitcutre filename, relative to the Skins folder,
that appears as the shadow of the menus.

And one more new attribute:
11) PanelTitleColor: The color of letters that appear at the title of
the Panels on the left and right.

In addition, the attributes Color3 and Color4 are no longer available
and the attributes Color1 and Color2 are now called BackGround and
ForeGround respectively.

Another change you should know is that the skin folder name will have
to be exactly the same as the skin filename (without the extension),
for example if a skin is called myskin.skin, its folder should be
named myskin (and not "my skin", for instance)
