Hi all, I'm trying to get into Dialoging so I can create some custom information panels.. but I don't like how the dialog is always the standard green and transparent type. I've tried setting the Dialog image to something else, but that always ends up a mess. Is there any sure way to make any dialog appear as the opaque black, as seen in the unit information panel?
1. Set the dialog's background, and search for "frames" when you start looking for images.
2. You can create an image with either border type or normal. Border if you want to use images used for borders, and have it Tiled. If you have a custom menu image imported, you can just simply have the image assigned to an image dialog item.

So do the sizes have to be an exact match or something? Whenever I try to set the background as any sort of image, it becomes a garbled mess. My dialog is something like 250x300 at the moment.

Thank you in advance.
There are two ways to do this:

Thanks for responding btw.
@Nicolus: Go
Not all images work right. Some like those buttons and such don't work. Their orientation is messed up.
