Creating a Theme - Part 1 - NextStart

Step 6 - Endcaps

  1. In the endcap settings we have a height of 12 for the vertical menus and a width of twenty for the horizontal menus. These are catered for with separate bitmaps - endcapa/endcapi for the vertical menus and hendcapa for the horizontal menus (which we could provide an inactive image for too - but I won't be doing in this theme). We want to check both the 'show endcap when rolled' and 'use inactive' buttons, and as I'm not putting any text on the endcap, I will leave the text settings and colours.

  2. The active and inactive backgrounds once again need setting to transp.bitmap - like the titlebar I have a small area of transparency, and the left and right tile settings should be 22 (tile bitmap is unchecked). Finally, the frames are both set to 'none'.
