Sunday, October 5, 2003 by I.R. Brainiac | Discussion: Skinning

is there a limit to the size of the slider button?I'm only using 11 x 11but it wont shor the whole slider.Only about 7 pixels wide.It shows the whole vertical part ,just not horizontally.

nope styl,no magic pink.Most wmp plyers seem to have small eq's,I wanted a large one.You can make the background graphic any size you want.You can make the slider image area any size you want.But the actual 'grabber wont show any wider than 7 pixels.I want to make thumb controls that are wider than the underlying image slots.(which are 11 pixels wide so I need grabbers about 17 pix wide)

IR, the slider thumbnail(button) has to be of the width (if the slider is vertical) or height (if the slider is horizontal) that is equal or less than the width(vertical slider) or height(horizontal slider) of the slider images...

IR, not sure, but in the code there is probably something like


X1 X2 X3 X4

X1 = place in pixel on X
X2 = place in pixel on Y
X3 = pixels witdh
X4 = pixels high

notsure, should have to look it up.

Are you coding it the 'old' way or do you use SS?

ah, there is the problem

If you are ok with it (and the project isn't top secret ) I can take a look at it.

Reminds me to when I was coding a MMJB player, coded it, however when I shutted down the player and wanted to restart it it didn't open and gave an error, rebuilded the skin after that line by line, found out it were the 4 small file, open, edit , close buttons...

hate code

How wide is your slider bar underneath the button? If you make it less than the width of the button it wont show the edges of the button. You have to make the slider as wide as the button and use majic pink to make it transparent.

In the code you san specify the width of the image too. Check to make sure that is not too small. Search your code for the number 7 and see if there are any in there that shouldnt be. Thats what I have to do sometimes.
