Since SeekBar extends ProgressBar, you may wish to start with progress_horizontal.xml as your base point. You'll notice that it defines a few layers in a <layer-list> drawable resource, differentiating the true background from the "progress". I'm not 100% certain this is the background used by SeekBar by default, but it's an educated guess. You can find this file in $ANDROID_HOME/platforms/$API/data/res/drawable, where $ANDROID_HOME is where you have the SDK installed and $API is one of the API versions you have installed (e.g., android-2.1). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Development Wiki: http://wiki.andmob.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
