If you change the ShowHeight=595, it seems to fix the problem, with the only issue being a 5 pixel gap at the bottom of your screen. Higher numbers dont seem to work. If your wallpaper is all black you cannt even see it. Not a fix but something that will tide us over till guino has a chance to take a look at it.
Ill put these settings in the next release of the skin

Just tested with the parameter ShowHeight=595, but for me it has not worked .... crazy stuff

yeah, its pretty weird, i can also repro it on my laptop now also.
Im going to try to rebuild the menu from scratch and see if that helps any. The odd thing about it all is that it only happens on the menu screens, so there has to be something in the .skin file that is causeing this.

OK, i think ive found the problem and fixed it.

For some reason when you start to use the arrowkeys to control RR, it tries to move your mouse pointer offscreen. For some other unknown reason, RR does not successfully move the pointer completely offscreen (with my skin) but instead moves it to the bottom left corner of the GAMES button, thus creating a conflict of interest.
You'll notice if you click the arrow keys really fast, RR is trying to select the other menu options, but the mouse pointer is ontop of the GAMES button thus commanding focus, so it stays stuck highlighted until you maually move the mouse, which makes no difference cause soon as you use the keyboard again the pointer moves also.

To fix this, all i simply had to do was move the button so when the pointer tries to move off screen (and fails) it wont be sitting on top of any buttons, stealing focus.

So the question now is why is the mouse not moving off screen like it should?
I noticed in other skins it tries to move directly under the skin, but in mine it dosent. I have no control of how the mouse acts. But i did notice that the position of where the pointer is moving is exactly 480 pixels from the top.
So i think RR is using the original width/original height values to determine where it should move the mouse to, instead of using the ShowWidth/ShowHeight. This would explain why it only happens when the skin res is set to 800x600 and also why it only happens on the menu screen, as all the other screens have no buttons in the area the mouse moves to.

Ill be updateing the download for the skin with this fix, and other issues mentioned so far.

great work man!! I can't wait for the final release. You will be releasing the PSD files too, correct? I just want to change a few colors to match my interior.

Don't worry about that... I've found and fixed the issue... it was indeed a bug in the code that handles the keypresses in RR to select objects... it is working fine now with the current skins.. I'm planning to post a new release tonight..
