VX Window Template

[Xilef]

I looked at how the window graphic in VX is used and drew out a quick template. The Windows in RMVX are similar to the Window Skins in RMXP.

The black squares and NOT used.
Yellow is the frame corners, green and dark green is the main part of the frame, orange is the scroll arrows.
Dark red is the background, it stretches like in RMXP Window Skins, pink goes over the top of the background and does not stretch, it Tiles. Light blue is the selection box frame, dark blue is the selection box middle, it stretches. The continue message animation is the four grey squares, as they get lighter the animation continues and then starts again after the lightest. Light green and pea green at the bottom right are for text colours (Thanks Lockheart)
Here is my first VX window skin. Took some time to get it right.

Oh yes, so far I haven't found a change window skin option in VX, so you have to rename any window to "Window" if anyone finds a change window option in VX please tell me.

And one last thing, this is the VX Window converted to the XP Window Skin.

The light green and pea green colors are for the text colors. i.e. \c[ x ] where x is a number between I'm guess 1-9.

This is good info. Peace Within.. Nice. I don't need the template but thought I'd comment on yours. It's a pretty accurate template. (In general) tiling doesn't seem to work properly in the middle, left and right of the four corners, if you don't use a straight line design. Using a design other than straight line can make tiling a mess and the tiling isn't seamless.

Do you think it's because we should use the light green and dark green areas of the window border patterns as the tiling areas? I believe the four corners are 16x16p and the 4 tiling borders (l/r/t/b) are 16x32 and 32x16.

I've tried some patterns and found, that the windows can vary in sizes that aren't proportional to a 16x16 grid, causing the break in the pattern tiling. As far as I can tell that's the case.

At any rate, good template! Perhaps i'll see some more VX skins from ya. I've seen your XP skins and most of them are pretty nifty.
