If you're talking about a Start Button animation like you were in your earlier post, this skin has an animated Start Button and you might download and look at it to see if it tells you anything;

I've no idea what would make one go backwards.

I have no idea either like i said i am doing something wrong but don't know what thanks for answering been at this for 2 month now you the 2nd one thats tried to help.

Plus back in 2000 there was a post about it but picture did not show and i am sure they left some things out on all you have to do to get this to work right.

I don't believe there are really any size constraints (within reason) for a Start Button in WindowBlinds.  For example, in the skin I linked, she has a Start Button where each state/frame is 86x30. She has 14 states, so her total image size is 1204x30 (86x14=1204). You do need to make sure (the individual state width) x (the number of states) = (the total image size).  I've seen a lot of different sizes of Start button images.

Are you using that "Build high dpi image" button that's showing in your screenshot? I have no idea how that works, that might explain the enlarging of the image.

What I've always done, and what I think most people do, is create the image, save it to a png, then use one of SkinStudio's import functions to import it.  It comes into SkinStudio in the same size it was created.

Again, I encourage you to look at the Start Button in the skin I linked.

https://www.wincustomize.com/article/361485/how-to-create-an-animated-start-button-alternative this is the link i found that i followed yes this was back in 2009 has no picture i tried to do it this way found out that he might had left out some parts in it cause mine started out by not moving.

Then when i got it moving it always went backwords then just resently i found out about in skinstudio in tools where it said studio start menu animation builder i got it to go forward one time, Where my problem lies is in photoshop doing the animation witch i think i am doing it right,  i have followed that link for the steps and putting it in skinstudio and video i saw for animating in photoshop  how to save it in photoshop then the steps to putting it into skinstudio what all i need to do to get this to go foward and not backwords. I am using that skin and looking at it in skinstudio then looking at his startbutton where his look like this and mine are always single like that picture i showed you yesterday mine never look like this piture.

I also want to say in photo shop i use animatin in the time line and not video, To make a long story short, what i need is do i use animation or video or does it matter, how you do this in photoshop that link i posted is throwing me off, how to save it do you render video or just save it.

2. after photoshop putting it in skinstudio what i was doing like that like said is going to frame builder saving it then going to animation putting in how many frame i used try it button then i see it go backwords.

Thats not working for me at all just i have been at this for 2 month now lol some where there is a step i am missing and i can'r find it.

Okay i probly am not that link is what was following till i figured out they left out a bunch of parts i am suppose to be doing for most people this is probably not hard to do but for me it difficult. I really don't think i am doing anything right in this and animating start menu would be nice to learn also. I am telling i appreciate everyone help in this i really do.

Are you talking in skinstudio or photoshop that you have to apply the skin twice see this is blowing my mind thats why i say a step by step process from photoshop to skinstudio would work for me because i not a vary bright person but a quick leaner. some picture would be nice as well if we get to where i can do this i'll buy one or 2 of your skins.

Yea i don't use that i just use animation ratio and the stuff on right somewhere from photoshop to putting it in skinstudio is my problem i can get it to play but back words.
