I'm trying to customize a skin and i've extracted all the resources in the skins folder and named like this: 1.txt 1.bmp 2.bmp ... ... ... When i select the custom skin in classic menu i can see al settings but the bmps are not loaded. What is wrong ? P.S. I'm using classic shell 4.20 beta |

For some reason the 3.bmp file fails to load. I don't know why. I will have to investigate over the weekend. |

BTW, resaving the bitmaps with Photoshop CS2 fixes the problem. What program did you use to save the bitmaps? |

I'm using photoshop CS6. The compiled skin works fine, the uncompressed one not, same resources. |

Ok, resaving all bitmaps with photoshop (CS6) solved the problem. Something is wrong in the bitmaps saved by resource hacker. |

I found the problem. The BMP file consists of 3 parts: 1 - the file header 2 - the image header 3 - the pixels The image header contains the size of the pixels section (part #3). The files you have incorrectly use the sum of the sizes of parts #2 and #3. Some programs ignore the size and read the image anyway. The Windows API I use to load the image is more picky and fails. BTW, I recommend you enable the "Report skin errors" setting at the bottom of the General Behavior tab. It will show you extra information to help you troubleshoot the problems. |
