I was looking for some example. Using my xTaskbar as a reference, there was only taskbar images and taskbar button images. I had no idea i needed separate paint modes for separator and title and bottom. I thought they would be covered by entries... I cannot honestly say I read the entire help file, but I did a search for 'mode' and followed all the hits... I only saw EntryMode. I only put the xPopupPaintingMode in hoping it would work. I realized it had no impact on the ones that worked - entries - but was for a background image that was for the whole block, not each entry, but I left it there as I figured it would not hurt... and I was getting desperate. None of the themes I downloaded used this. I was hoping for some example of xPopup2 somewhere as a template of sorts... I found themes as new as last month using the old popup2 or xpopup1.3.x... I will try adding those and continue on translating Austerity.
