Need help with sysmetrix dual state images and weather wind speed problem

Sunday, October 3, 2004 by BarryMK | Discussion: Stardock Software

I am having a problem getting a set of dual state images to work correctly. I have a set of images that I want to use to show if there is a disc in my cd-rom and dvd-rom. The first image is of a drive and the second is of the drive with a disc super-imposed over it. I sized both images to the size I want them and put them side by side in 1 image. I then named the image "DiscInserted.png" as needed. The problem I have is that the in either state the image shows half of the first image and half of the second image.

I no matter what I try to do I can't get seem to get the image spacing correct. Can anyone help with this problem.


The second problem is with wind speed. How can change the speed from km/h to mph or knots?

Had this prob myself,make sure the images are of equal dimensions and there is no excess background as this also adds to the size of the finished image

Well I did like you said but it is now showing me half of only the first image. I don't know what the deal is. Doesn't seem to matter what size I make the image either it always cuts the image in half. grr frustrating

Your problem is with the .png graphic. When you are done editing it in Photoshop, go to
file>save for web. Then save as png-24. That will discard any image information that is not needed in Sysmetrix.

try making images square with no excess background before ,in middle of or after your two states. two images should be butted up together no spacing
