Late last night I decide to see if i could get the top bar from bluetwo wide to work with Replicant, Its the only thing replicant is missing in my opinion. So i started viewing topbar.xml and i noticed this was easy to do I just have to adjust the width of the background and the X,Y positions of the buttons, Now for a non skinner this seemed tedious, I kept subtracting values to move them over and this became a huge trial and error task. What my question is, do you guys have any tips on getting the X Y positions or do you guys just know from experience? My buddy is good at graphics and I'm pretty sure he could make one that matches a little better than the blue two one.

    well, we keep on trying the same as you do i guess, but after some time you get a little of experiance how much "10 pixels" are on the screen...

    nevertheless, you should have a look on the myRefresh plugin (available in download section) which lets you update the gui when you changed an xml-file... otherwise it will take you hours of restarting mp until you finally have the position you want something to be...

    hope that helps

    There's a refresh plugin in our download section - no need to restart MP anymore when changing that values.

    Edit: I shouldn't let tabs open that long :)
