Windowskin altering?

Hello there,



The above image is what I use for my windowskin.

However, ingame it looks like this:



I know this is because the lower end of the windowskin is too high, but is there any way I can change this so that the bottom of
my windows still have that ''other end''. Like I don't want to change the windowskin, but the ingame look.



Thanks in advance!
Marcel
 
You'd have to edit the (hidden) Window class, or use a rewrite of the very same to get what you want. Really, I wouldn't go down that road, though... changing the actual windowskin is a lot more practicable, especially since you can never exclude incompatibilities when you're modifying default classes - especially essential ones like Window.
 
You could create a new sprite which is shown above the window too, if it's only message windows you want this for. I would imagine it the thing would look quite odd on menus and such because of the bottom bit.
 

Thank you for viewing
