bootskin progress bar problem

October 21, 2004 9:56 AM from

I have created my first bootskin and my progress bar doesn't work correctly. In looks perfect in the preview but when actually using it the animated part bleeds over and doesn't look correct at all. any suggestions anyone. Is there a height/width minimum to use?

i think the prog bar *has* to be 22x9 (whatever the default XP one is).. every time ive not used one at that size, ill see a black bit make up for the rest.
also make sure the colour palette for the prog bar is the same as the background image, and the area that the prog bar goes over is black (otherwise itll end up black as the prog bar goes over it).

Aaah... Archangel_Douglas, I wish I had seen your post before I had submitted my bootskin.

Isn't it nice to have undocumented limitations like 22x9 and black bg. :-/
