The wiki refers to a listing of the controls required for each window type, but it doesn't seem to exist anymore.
But, the Window List doesn't have this information.
I think this list would ease skin creation quite a bit, because people wouldn't need to dissect another skin to determine what controls are required to be there and which ones are just for design purposes. Would it be a complete waste of time for someone to collect a list of these required controls and post them on the wiki? I'd be willing to lend a hand myself.
Quote:Some of these controls are required on specific windows, as they're necessary for that window to perform it's duty, or, the contents of the control are only valid on a particular window. The mandatory controls for each window are listed in the window list. While the controls are mandatory, you can ofcourse move them about and change their appearance within the windows to your hearts content!
