More map break problems

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

Hey if anyone can help that be great. I have a problem with the horizontal map breaks (that cut the skin horizontally). I want to use discontinuous map breaks because i need to circumvent some controls. I have a long line in the middle and two shorter lines either side which are lower by about 80 pixels. When i try out my skin and resize vertically the skin gets divided only via the longer line in the break map but not along the shorter lines.

Like this:


1) __________________________________________________ ___________

2) __________________________________________________ ____________

But cuts only along row 1...:(

I had a similar problem with the wmp skin I'm working on. Here is a quote from the Skin guide thing:
A Break Line must be straight through each control it passes, but it does not need to remain in a straight line for all controls.
I believe that means you can't change the location (vertically) of the breakline unless it goes through an entirely different button/control; or for example, every part of the breakline that corresponds to the body must be at the same vertical location.

Yeah but i dont have it go through any control except the playlist/ML/encoder/video/visuals area for the middle longer line. The smaller lines just miss the other controls and there should be no ghost tiling above those smaller lines that lie lower than the single longer one. :(

yours makes the "ghosts" because your line, though broken, doesnt maintain a straight path through the extension

[RobbieMc]

The line you have does go through the body in two places. Try integrating one of the extensions into the body instead of making all of them seperate extensions.

I dont see how that's going to help me... dammit im completely confused now. Who made these rules? No offense Paul. The maximise button does it as well. So what the manual really should say is that you cannot have a discontinuous break line through an extension. I'd like to see an example where discontinuous breaklines do give the proper result.

EDIT: Robbie i tried what you said and my God you are a genius! It workz! Thanks!

Rex, you can have a discontinuous breakline through an extension, you just can't have a discontinuous breakline through a control. If you want to see a working example look at the default skin.
