Hello,

I am using third party theme on Windows 7 and AMM can't make same themed icons (move to second monitor, audio switcher, ... ) it load some default non-aero theme (you can see on the screenshot) .

Can I make my own background for this icons/buttons or make some fix?

Thank you in advance

Have you tried to use custom skins for the title buttons from the standard set (AMM configuration module > Global Settings > Title Buttons > Use custom skin from)? Probably, you'll be able to find a skin that suits the theme.

Otherwise, you can try to create your own custom skin for title buttons.

Let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

Best regards.

And what resolution have these background buttons? I see, that in this tutorial is only icon resolution, but not background.
And what name have Switch Audio Device? Edit, Ok I found it, it named SwitchAudioDevice .bmp (it's missing in tutorial page too) .

So my results here (I created my own theme) :-)

.

Only issue what I have is resolution of background 22px height looks too much and 18px is maybe not enough (rounded corners are not the same as on Windows theme) .

Resolution of the background title buttons images depends on the size of the standard title buttons in the theme.

Yes, it's a relatively new feature and the name is missing in the tutorial page. We'll fix it.

Have you tried to use height values between 18 and 22 px? What is the result?

Best regards.

I tried all 19, 20, 21px on height. Button still stretching. But that's not all, I think, if I set different width, the button look different too. I tried draw something on background (X or some letter) , and this never look same (everytime different / stretching) .

Are you talking about the icons that are inside the buttons? Do you mean they are stretching and the original icons that you created look differently?

Best regards.
