Note that some of them have different states ( for buttons, these are when pressed, focused, disabled etc. So, the bitmaps used in gmStudio, builds up all these non flatly colored elements, such as buttons, tabs and window header, just to name a few. NOTE! I don't know if it's still this way, but keep the files you do the work on, away from the gmStudio's skin folder ( \GameMaker-Studio\skins ) Back when I made the skins, any update on gmStudio had the skins folder cleared, so all the files might end up deleted If you decide to work on another folder, you can copy the files into the ( \GameMaker-Studio\skins ), whenever you want to see results We will be using these names as an example for this tutorial:.
