reply #105 line 6 and 7...LOL...I hear ya

Ok now I'm gonna sound real stupid, but how do I cut it up??

I have been waiting patiently for you to ask that so I wouldn't have to

Copy the image as a whole to a new image.(no extra layers,just the entire menu as a single image)(select all,copy merged)
On your new image Use the selection tool and select the part of the image you want to use for the User Pane and right click ans goto new layer via cut.
Repeat with all the pieces you need and you have each section on a separate layer

Open SS and hit edit for the piece you want to change...place the appropriate layer from your cut document into the section you are working on and delete the original image layer.That leaves only your new layer.
You will have to resize the image you are replacing to the new images size first.
Save it,but leave it open in case you want to change it.

Go back to SS and set your margins for tiling or stretching.

Do all the others and you will be ready to do the More programs arrow,Item mouseover and logoff buttons.  

git 'r' done   

I forgot to say,while setting the margins also set the size parameters to match your graphic size...or the size you need it to be.Margins really come into play then.  

me waves back a tawoods...hehe   

>>>(tripping in)...ok, who left the *$&#*& sehlat laying there???

Thanks for your help on the cutting job

  

Ok here is what I got, will this work ok? I'm gonna go cut it up now

Ok I realized that I needed to make it biger so I had room to cut for the shut off log off...

Ok I'm lost, what do u mean user plane and right click, I know what right click it but I'm confused of what it has to do with the start menu...

you two get a room   


JK..its great to see more female skinners

How's this, I saved it as layers, thats right is'nt it??

Well thanks

you cut it fine...load the pieces into SKS...Where your gonna have trouble is with the image stretching on the programs image and the places image...it will work but you may not like the results.  

It all depends on how many programs you have in your start menu.
