About Fallback
- Note 1: bear in mind that the settings here affects also the caption buttons at the right if Tools→ Preferences→ Advanced→ Tabs→ Additional tab options→ `Show close button on each tab` disabled: Caption button skin, Caption close button skin, Caption minimize button skin and Caption restore button skin as well as at the left the icon `Window Document Icon` from the section [Images]
- Note 2: here all the strange effects with padding:
Here the curious effects with margin:
- Note 3: fiddling around with the ratio between Padding top/bottom and Margin top/bottom helps. Also if you define the `Window document icon` in [Boxes] instead of [Images] the result can be better (no minished icon then), but; if someone changes the general font-size in the OS, then the result is again unforeseeable! Here two examples:
[Menu Button Skin] Padding top = 1 Padding bottom = 2 Padding left = 2 Padding right = 2 Margin top = 3 Margin bottom = 4 Margin left = 2 Margin right = 2 Color = #FF0000 Text color = #FF8080
[Menu Button Skin] Padding top = 8 Padding bottom = 10 Padding left = 2 Padding right = 2 Margin top = 9 Margin bottom = 3 Margin left = 2 Margin right = 2 Color = #FF0000 Text color = #FF8080
The next screenshot displays the menubuttons with the same settings as in the above examples, but the `Window document icon` defined in [Boxes] instead of [Images]:
Bear in mind, that the vertical position of the buttons depends also on the general fontsize from the OS - the examples are made with 125% font size in Windows 7.
