Thanks in advance. ---------- Try making a 'borderless' window and just use your own graphic background image within it. I think the actual window has to have corners, though, and you probably can't make them transparent, so you'll need to match the bg it appears in. In other words, you 'fake' it. It APPEARS to be a 'skin' object because of how it's painted and manipulated. I'm working with this sort of thing myself. I'll post my results here or send off list, if you prefer, when I get to an appropriate point in my experiments with RR.
One of the things I do on a regular basis, both in HC, and now in RR, is make a general graphic to fit the size and position I need using the local paint tools. Then, import it to a sophisticated paint program, like Photoshop, detail it to perfection, then put it back in the dev program, using its tools to locate and position it exactly. It's all about ILLUSION...SFX. Using layers and transparent objects, taking screen shots, manipulating images, windows, buttons and field styles, until I achieve the desired effect. Jeanne has written some books about doing these things in HyperCard. The principals are much the same, I suspect, but easier to implement in RR.
