Bump Please Help

 

[Beran]

The arrows themselves should be easy to get rid of. Can you post up the "Window_Chat" class as well, that would help

 

[Dargor]

I think NetPlay Plus comes with a few widget classes. You should have an Horizontal and Vertical scrollbar class somewhere in the script.

You can't get rid of the arrows unless you modify the Window core class or, the best alternative, simply remove the arrows from the Windowskin.

 

[Beran]

Removing the arrows from the windowskin would mean you can't see them anywhere though. If you just make the bitmap a bit smaller compared to the window, at least the ones pointing right would disappear

 

[Dargor]

Yes I know, that's why the best (but less simple) solution would be to rewrite the Window class. But There's already 1 or 2 out there, it shouldn't be hard to find.
