Thanks Gaurav.
That's good to know about the shortened link version.
I can't try it right now. I buggered up the skin, and now get the white no skin menu.
I either have to go back to a backup, spend hours slowly putting in what I remember I did right,
or spend hours troubleshooting and undoing what I did wrong.
The skin was starting to look ok before that, but not as nice and active as original.
I gave up on using icon frames for second column. Did not work out. The emblem text hid behind the frames.
The only way is have the squares burnt into the bitmap, with emblem text as a higher layer above that.
I'm shelving the broken skin for awhile. Will try again for success next weekend.
