Skinning 'five' - controlbar .jwbackground css


I've downloaded 'five' from the SDK. While trying to skin it, I see a strange problem that appear in the default five as well.

This
<code>
#video_controlbar .jwbackground {
background: url(blah/five/src/controlbar/background.png) 50% 50% / 1px 30px repeat-x;
position: absolute;
left: 10px;
right: 10px;
}
</code>
doesnt show up in chrome. instead, all you see is the two caps dangling left and right, and transparency in between.

this does work
<code>
#video_controlbar .jwbackground {
background: url(blah/five/src/controlbar/background.png) 50% 50% / 5px 30px repeat-x;
position: absolute;
left: 10px;
right: 10px;
}
</code>


So, thats not a question. Hope it helps someone.

Skinning is best done through XML:

We don’t advise trying to override CSS styles – css styling is coming in JW7, however!
