hi. i'm trying to make a msstyle and i want to ask your help if it is possible because i have a doubt. i use stylebuilder to make the msstyle, do you use that too or do you use something else? and while modding the buttons (close the window for example) the image that is used contains the various instances (over, up, down, etc.) (i think its called indexed image, sorry if i'm wrong :P) and to edit that image on photoshop or other image editing program it's hard because i don't know where the "limit" of certain instance is (don't know if you get it). do you know if there is a way to make easier editing those images? thanks in advance and sorry for making trouble to you :P

sorry for newbie questions

I know how to do it in resedit, but I don't use stylebuilder so I can't help you there.

In resedit, find the name of the image that contains the instances (i.e. "\button.bmp"), then you search for that name in the text file containing all the commands. In the same section you found the target image ([Button.Pushbutton] in this case), there will be a command "ImageCount = ". That will tell you how many instances there are. After that, its just math. Find the dimensions of the image, and divide it by the number of instances. The "ImageLayout" command will tell you if the instances are vertically aligned or horizontally aligned.
