Yes, the content margins for the More Programs menu do work. Just to be certain that I give you accurate information, it might help if you were to explain what it is you are trying to accomplish. I'm not trying to be difficult, but frequently mistakes are made when trying to help someone because of terminology. Are you referring to the More Programs Panel background or to the More Programs Menu background, both of which have control margins. If you could just give us a better idea of what you are trying to do, e.g. shift icons or text left/right, align the menu highlight item, etc, it will be easier to help you. A screenshot of the problem also helps a great deal in most cases.

As to a guide for Skinstudio, there is no aftermarket commercial guide available, but you can find Stardocks user guides and a video demonstration here: https://www.stardock.com/products/skinstudio/docs.asp

Hope this helps you, and I'll be waiting for your response.

You can adjust the margins on the program menu back ground but they wont have an effect on the skin. I haven't gotten the margins to adjust yet. Must be a bug with skinstudio and window blinds.

To align the icons you need to adjust the content margins.The greater the left content margin the farther from the left the icons will be.

The normal color and hover color refers to the text in the all programs section.

The background color for the all programs Selection is Miscellaneous/Colors/Menu-Highlighted Background(XP Only)

ThankYou chas for all the help... I went in search of a few answers about the more program back ground and arrow, and found the answers in another thread that you had replied to. I learned a great deal and appreciate the indepth answers from you and the other skinners on this subject. I hope that I can come to you with future problems as I'm sure there will undoubtedly be an abundance of them.
