Title Bar Text Help

How do you contain the text within an object on the Title Bar. I have tried the content margins, but it still overlaps my object.

There is a section in SkinStudio:

Window Borders/Titlebar Text/Titlebar Text Background

You can define/set a background image for your text there which should expand/contract with the text up to limits you set. I don't believe this works with perpixel (transparent) Titlebar images, however; I think only regular non-perpixel borders support this feature (I could be wrong about that since I haven't spent time working with perpixel borders).

If my suggestion doesn't address your issue, posting a screenshot might be of some help.

Here is what I have figured out. The content margins are about 5 pixels off on the left and about 10 pixels off on the right. Set your content margins accordingly and it should work fine.

I can confirm that the text backgrounds don't work very well with per pixel frames.
