Had a glance thru Stefan's skins and noticed they're all portrait-style.

Anyways, the attached png shows something is wrong. The incorrect display of the fonts occurs when I click on the scroll bar of either/both panels. Once the list advances, the fonts are messed up. In order for the fonts to show correctly, I have to mouse (no clicking) over the grids.

I downloaded Stefan's Binary and did the same thing as I did to the default My Skin:
1) changed the panel background to a 301kb jpg, and
2) changed to transparent grid, grid 1 and grid 2.

I get the same results: fonts are messed up and a mouse-over to get it correctly displayed.

I then tried Stefan's Colors in portrait mode and did the same two actions. The fonts were messed up also, just not as apparent. In doing so, I found that in scrolling, the screen kept the previous font displayed overlapping the current font display. For example, Overboard is on the screen and a scrollbar advance gets me to Own It All. Overboard, the title, would occupy the same space as the title Own It All, which makes the display of the title messed up until I do a mouse-over.

Thank you very much for your feedback !

I have a small list of bugs that still need to be fixed, and this one was already on the list. This bug happens only with transparent grid cells, and I thought it was not prioritary because until now we didn't have any skins with transparent cells.

I will fix this bug with the next beta :yes:

Is it a real screenshot ? I don't understand why the menu is green...

In fact, I can see several problems with the menu. What version of Windows do you have ?

Please don't change the priorities on my account! I can do without transparencies. I'm not creating skins, either. I'm just trying to learn skinning.

Windows 7 is a strange beast. I made quite a few customizations in appearances. Most never take effect with Aero on. The green menu background clearly did for your program with Aero on. I don't think it shows up in any other program I use.

No problem, it's a bug that needs to be fixed. Like all bugs :roll:
