Skin Editor - Changes to the Borders.Left, Borders.Top, and/or Borders.Right property sets are not stored to a skin project if these are the only changes made to a skin element

created 11 years ago

To reproduce the issue:

  1. Create new skin project
  2. Select 'Stardust' as base skin
  3. Save the skin
  4. Editors->LabelLine->Borders->Top-> change color
  5. Save the skin

The skin xml file doesn't contain LabelLine object:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<dxSkin Version="1.1" Name="MySkin_Stardust" Parent="Stardust"><Details><SkinGroupName Value="Standard Skins"/><DisplayName Value="MySkin_Stardust"/><SkinIcon Name="16x16" Value="SkinIcon16x16.png"/><SkinIcon Name="48x48" Value="SkinIcon48x48.png"/></Details><AdditionalProperties><Colors/><Properties/></AdditionalProperties><ControlParts Name="Bars"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Common"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Docking"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Editors"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Form"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Grid"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="NavBar"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="NavPane"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="PageControl"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="PrintingSystem"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Ribbon"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Scheduler"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="TileControl"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="VerticalGrid"><Properties/></ControlParts></dxSkin>

Now change one more property in LabelLine:

  1. Editors->LabelLine-> change color
  2. Save the skin

Now the skin contains LabelLine object

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<dxSkin Version="1.1" Name="MySkin_Stardust" Parent="Stardust"><Details><SkinGroupName Value="Standard Skins"/><DisplayName Value="MySkin_Stardust"/><SkinIcon Name="16x16" Value="SkinIcon16x16.png"/><SkinIcon Name="48x48" Value="SkinIcon48x48.png"/></Details><AdditionalProperties><Colors/><Properties/></AdditionalProperties><ControlParts Name="Bars"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Common"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Docking"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Editors"><Properties/><Part Name="LabelLine" Alpha="255" Color="0" TextColor="0"><Properties/><MinSize Width="1" Height="2"/><Borders><Left Color="536870911" Thin="0"/><Top Color="10526880" Thin="1"/><Right Color="536870911" Thin="0"/><Bottom Color="16777215" Thin="1"/></Borders><Image ImageCount="1" Layout="Horizontal" Stretch="Stretch" States="1" GradientBeginColor="536870911" GradientEndColor="536870911" GradientMode="Horizontal" /><Glyph ImageCount="1" Layout="Horizontal" Stretch="Stretch" States="1" GradientBeginColor="536870911" GradientEndColor="536870911" GradientMode="Horizontal"/></Part></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Form"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Grid"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="NavBar"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="NavPane"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="PageControl"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="PrintingSystem"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Ribbon"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="Scheduler"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="TileControl"><Properties/></ControlParts><ControlParts Name="VerticalGrid"><Properties/></ControlParts></dxSkin>

      Great,
      this fix would prevent me doing the same job again, when settings are not saved.
      Thanks,
      Raimundas

          Is there any way I could build/get new dxSkinEditor executable?
          Thanks,

            It is impossible to get it now. I kindly ask you to wait for the next minor release (VCL 13.2.5).
