Does anyone have a specific system for getting the taskbar precisely a certain height, besides trial and error?

Just trial and error. You gotta balance the quick launch button margins and the taskbar button margins until you are blue in the face.

There is kinda a way.....but I have to go back to work...will get back to you...hehe

I THINK the system is 24 or 27 pixels for the text(normal sized text),then subtract that from your taskbar graphic size and divide it up in a way that places the text in the center of your button....does that make sense?

Cover your bases by making quick launch and systray margins the same.

I do....works better that way. I was thinking it may be graphic size minus text size = content margin thingers. Or something like that, but it didnt work out quite right.

Oh yeah....that Skinartistry is a great bunch...

in the start menu program areas, once you set it to use a mouseover image, the mouseover font color doesnt work anymore, it just stays the normal font color... is there a workaround for this?

not that I'm aware of.

I gave up a long time ago even trying. One idea though would be too have 2 different sized fonts to give the mouse over effect of zooming. Guess I will have to give it a try. Some skins would benefit immensely by being able to have a mouseover image and a custom font. hint hint. Oh crap, my capital h's aren't working here either. See> whaaaaaaaaa

Other than the user name I haven't been able to get a custom font to work (other than changing the font color)
