perpixel loggoff dialogbackground

Thursday, May 1, 2008 by Vampothika | Discussion: Skinning

hmm for some reason my perpixel logg off dialogbackground is not working right.

1 in the code i have added trans=1, perpixel=1, hide text=1

ive also had to 'force' the bmp loggoffdialogbackground to be a bmp, it keeps applying as a tng file, so not sure why that is happening either.....first time ive had this problem.  The perpixel loggoff dialog background applies in its proper format, just the bmp is acting queer..

 

plus the text 'log off computer' is still there despite me turning it off..........

xp skin in sk5.

I don't know if it is any help but for me I know everytime I use the PerPixel back ground it pretty well diables the .bmp but recently I have had to delete my .bmp image so the PerPixel image would show every time.It started showing the .bmp randomly.

Also SK is right I have noticed a correlation between the screenmask and the dialog image!


Image=vexa\logoff.tga
HideText=1
Trans=1
PerPixel=1
SimpleMode=3

Capitals maybe important!

I found it! Change the name off your PerPixel image to something like Logg
Then reimport add the hide text again if not there and it will work!
The name had too many character(spaces count)working on the other

Add one in, I believe A/V is right and that there is an interaction between the two. I usually add a screenmask anyhow cause I think thier pretty cool looking and add a little spice to it. But, its been so long since I first messed around with it but seems that was the case.

Kitty... did you point SKS to the renamed logoff screen? I have had to shorten names on some of my stuff too. Generally, what I do is this: go to the windowblinds folder, open the folder for your blind, right click on the image for your logoff screen, select re-name, shorten the name. Then open the blind in SKS, go to the section with the logoff screen, click the logoff screen, then scroll down to where the re-named image is (it is usually way down at the bottom), select it, and voila!...you should have the logoff screen back.

2 questions....do you have the non per pixel ones skinned too? and why do you have to have the per pixel background be a bmp??? I thought they HAD to be png converted to tga.
