Hi Bill,

I’ve tried replacing the Panel with PanelSkin - and as a result the skin wasn’t used at all…
Here’s how my css entry looked before changing it to PanelSkin:

Panel
{
borderSkin: Embed(skinClass=”Panel_borderSkin”);
closeButtonSkin: Embed(skinClass=”Panel_closeButtonSkin”);
controlBarBackgroundSkin: Embed(skinClass=”Panel_controlBarBackgroundSkin”);
}

Any ideas?

This bug has been a pain for me, but I found a workaround that works for me, I have been using some themes from scalenine and was getting the panel border overlay problem, then I opened the css file found the declaration for the Panel and changed it to PanelSkin and this seemed to fix it.

1. Find the declaration for the panel in the css file
2. Change it to PanelSkin instead of Panel.

hope this helps someone else

Hey, regarding the problems you have been seeing with your skins, how do you go about fixing them?

With the final SDK, I’ve noticed that with graphical skins, (eg: borderSkin for Panels) the content of a panel will begin at the outermost top/left corner: thus overlapping with the Title and border.
It’s kinda messed up.

I *could* add a canvas to each Panel, and set the border metrics, but that would be a pain in the butt. Is this how you have been fixing your skins?

Any help would be appreciated!
