Why is necessary to use custom resize values

By default the items are resized from the middle and the duplicated width is 5 pixels this means that “X cut point” and “y cut point” are in the middle of the resized shape and the “X Duplicate” and “Y Duplicate” is 5 pixels width.
The default values will work most of the time and should be changed only on custom skins and only if you have gradients, shapes, images that don’t look good if they are be resized from the middle.

Note* If you are using a custom skin and you have selected in the General Tab the "Fit to Page" option you should choose a bigger duplicate area for the background.

Advanced Resize Settings

Note* You only have to set values for the resizing parameters that you need. Just leave the other text fields blank.

THE ADVANCED RESIZING WINDOW
No.	Parameter corresponding to each skin element	Description
1.	X Cut Point	Represents the point on x axis, with values between 0 and the maximal width, that will serve as a cutting point. This means that the resizing will take place from that point on x axis.
2.	Y Cut Point	Represents the point on y axis, with values between 0 and the maximal height, which will serve as a cutting point. This means that the resizing will take place from that point on y axis.
3.	X Duplicate	Refers to the width amount that will be duplicated in order to resize the skin element. The value of this parameter should be kept as small as possible.
4.	Y Duplicate	Refers to the height amount that will be duplicated in order to resize the skin element. The value of this parameter should be kept as small as possible.
5.	OK	Applies the changes made in the current window to your menu.
