Hi,
good new willy_297. Can you delete the horrible blue line who appear on the "blue skin" and who hid a little bit the mentor line when the window is minimized???
This line was not in CM10th blue skin.
Maybe it will interest some people.
Thanks.

its already done i have found some mistakes in new skins.and the blue line is the more^^.But i have modified colours polices also and dropp off the caption bar in vista style for a simple caption like casual 3 SO anyway it the same skin more easy on eyes.so if u dont wait i can tell you how to remove it manually ...

I'm interested by your new skins but if you can tell me how to remove this blue line manually i take it, because i'm curious

Hello, chessou!

That blue line from the Blue skin will be removed in the next patch. If you can't wait for it you can remove yourself in a few simple steps:
1. Open the Paint program,
2. Create a bitmap with 1x1 dimensions,
3. Fill it with the color 0x6a95ca in hexa or (106, 149, 202) in RGB space.
4. Save it as gradient.bmp
5. Copy the this file in the following directories:
Data\Skin\Blue\AppFrame
Data\Skin\Blue\AnnoFrame
Data\Skin\Blue\DialogFrame
Data\Skin\Blue\ThickFrame
Data\Skin\Blue\ThinFrame
Data\Skin\Blue\TOOLTIP

If there are other skin issues, or you just want to build some new skins for CMGME let me help you.

thanks for your help,
for other skins issues, i will wait a little bit because for the moment my priority is to correct this problem of mentor line who make the game crash after the first move...

u don't need to create a new bitmap just colorize the gradient bmp in each folder.
Thx lonut
have u make a new skin?
i want to colorize the border in game satus on the "last move" (the white rectangle).
Did you know how to do that?

Hi!
I've just created a new skin called Metal. It will arrive on you PC with Patch02.
For now you can't customize the color that points the last move made. The rectangle is white for default.
From Patch02 you should use "white_last_move_color" and "black_last_move_color" settings to customize this color. This settings are located in Skin\[SkinName]\Controls\global.conf file, the [color] section. The colors are in hexa e.g.

[colors]
border_color1=ffffff
border_color2=ffffff
....
white_last_move_color=aef1ff
...
black_last_move_color=aef1ff
...

Just wait a few days. Bye!

BIG thank you lonut i have see this line and there's no change when i modified these lines; i am impatient with the new patch
do u work for ubisoft are u the designer of cmXI?

The lines you should modify are:
white_last_move_color=
and
black_last_move_color=
I repeat: theese lines are ignored if you don't have CMGME Patch 1.2.0 installed.
Yes. I work for UBISOFT. I'm a programmer.

"theese lines are ignored if you don't have CMGME Patch 1.2.0 installed"
i have understood :=)
what part of work have u contribued in CMXI?
And if u see the designer of cm say him that i love is work but "polices contrast" are always non esay on eyes:=)
