[help] Stylebuilder Question

Quick question about Stylebuilder for you all. I have a theme, and I'd like the caption glyphs to be spaced farther apart from each other. Say right now it's (O_O_O), and I'd like to make it (O__O__O). How do I go about doing that in Stylebuilder? I've fiddled with some things, but nothing I do seems to have any effect. Thanks for any help.

I know a method to do that, but without Stylebuilder.

Go to Display properties-->Appearance--->Advanced

and play with the values in the item Caption Buttons.

You'll obtain that result, even if the bar increases its size.

Hope this can help you.

yeah, i tried doing that first, but it didn't work out too well. thanks for the suggestion, though.

the msstyles format does not support moving the caption buttons.

the way that people get different spacing between the buttons, is to layer a small bitmap glyph over a larger background image, and use the spacing in the bitmap to adjust how the "spacing" appears.

if you took the source images from every aqua msstyle, i'm sure the bmps all are about the same space apart in the caption, but they can look very different, based on the way that the author chooses to space the actual bmps.

so in your example

it may appear that the buttons are O__O__O

but they are more like this

_O__O__O_ where each is individually this _O_

so to move the left button to the left, you would make it O__

and the same with the others..

that way you can get O___O___O

make sense?
