Was able to make modifications to skin I was using, but I have two problems.
1- The top console part that is movable I placed on the new skin layout as shown. (See Pic1)
Then I close the Top Console and both skin and bar disappear. (See Pic2)
Ii guess what i need to do is remove the top skin part but have no clue how to do that.
2- The other issue I have encountered is when I log into game the all the bottom bars are gone including the map and I am left with a blank skin. I reload nui and they all pop back. (This only happened with the modified skin)
The file I modified is the spiel glossy black skin, in essence I extended the tabs and recolored to black. (Oh, God! I feel a lawsuit is a comin)
If I have to modify any file other than the actual skin images please let me know. PLEASE, if this is to much of a big deal I will just revert to the original spiel file and live with it...Its not the end of the world...oops 2012 is just around the corner.
