[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 526405, member: 27204"] Thanks for the clarification. I think you have an exalted view of many skinners' knowledge :). There are perhaps a few that do understand the skin engine, but most of us just work around it using trial and error and crossing our fingers and trying to copy from the skinners who know more. As Pileave said you really need to be able to read the source code, so you are talking about a very few skinners who could document accurately. Perhaps we need to recognize the difference between skin developers, who develop skins from scratch, and skin designers who just copy code and redesign graphic elements. I just want to clarify terminology - when you say properties, do you mean the tags/elements supported for each control type? I usually think of properties as GUI Properties like #itemcount or others you are listing in properties.xml So my question is, does the current Wiki page on Label meet your needs? If not, what is missing? Is Pileave's new page on togglebutton enough for you to work from? I found it helpful, not confusing. And I am asking because I will try to add what is missing if I know what you need and if it does not require looking in the code :). LOL! Wait until you try and show that an image is dimmed when you put it in a group control! Now how do you document that in the Wiki? I for one don't expect you to resolve all skinning issues. If you can just sort out the "layers" issue I could start using the Editor as it is. [/QUOTE]
