I have a problem with putting a image on my start menu background. I used 1 image and cropped it into 5 different images, but 1 out of the 5 screwed up on the right side of the start menu which is stretched even though the size is exactly the same, i use restorator and paint. I used one of dark7mix themes as a base (heres the link) http://www.deviantart.com/download/136063382/Dark7mix_Theme_UPDATE_by_adrianodj25.rar
and editted it to my liking

Probably a "sizing-margins" issue... Do you have Windows Style Builder...?

Edit : & how is it if extended...?

No, thx...
ill assume that means you dont need me to crop :sarc:?, and the size in 875 in the msstyle is bigger because it stretched when it was the exact size shown so i thought increaseing the size would fix the problem since i've read it stretches when the image is too small responding to your posts before xD, but yeah im a complete newbie when it comes to these software programing/editing images

Yo!

Sorry, it doesnt match exactly yet, many values have to be taken, and i will need more time to test other configs...

This is the actual result & the corresponding msstyle...

Sorry again, i will have a look a bit later, i'm hungry now, lol!!!

See ya & have fun!!! ;)

ah thanks, do you need the cutted images? i recut them and they're all the correct size and stuff, and i did try to install my images myself, but then a problem occured on the right side again on the start menu where the image wont show itself so heres the images they'll match exactly if you dont mind helping a little bit more when you have free time :X, btw when i use your version without changing anything the right panel doesnt stretch anymore, but its in the wrong position completely, but im assuming its cuz our screen resolution is different?
