I am trying to make a new skin for vlc. i have created all the buttons and added them as bitmaps, but i cant seem to add like the picture or whatever that is the back. nor can i find the function "Add item".

can anybody help me out?


thanks

If you've create a window and a layout for that, select the layout. Then the preview window for that layout should appear. Now in the items window chose the add buton and add an image. Image items are used for backgrounds.

but do i add the layout (its just a plain white back) to the bitmaps?

Each window has at least one layout that tells the window what it contains, how it should show up. So you add a layout to a window.
Then to the layout you add various items, which in turn can use the bitmaps. You can add items to the currently selected layout by using the add item button in the items window.

taken care of
