ObjectBar 2.0 Problems

Thursday, June 23, 2005 by mxpxfifws | Discussion:

So far I'm liking ObjectBar 2.0 except for a few issues:

1. It doesn't respect image transparency. I'm trying to develop a bar that has a background with a tga that has transparency in it. The transparent parts come out white.
2. There's no way to set up a container to have the contents of a menu bar from the simple editor. You can set this up in the Advanced Editor, but this should be something available in the simple editor somehow. Maybe in the element grouping tab.
3. There's no way to get to the Advanced Editor easily (maybe this is a "feature"). Yes, I know you can set up a various-function item to go to it, but that's kind of convoluted.

If someone could explain to me why these aren't implemented, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

I don't think ObjectBar supports TGA does it? It certainly doesn't deal with alpha-channels. Bars are either transparent or visible using magic pink (255,0,255) to determine what's visible or not).
