View Full Version : Resize freezes QCD

See attached ZIP

I added the control and break map, and when I try to resize, the player locks up & goes to 99% CPU utilization.

I think the real problem is the relative lack of a body is confusing QCD, but I figured I'd ask for help in case I messed the resize maps up.

This is intended to be my super-runt player skin to work with Windows 2000 on a small screen. Yes, the asthetics need help, but it's a start.

Thanks,
Shawn

Sorry to disappoint, but yes, that is the correct file. I haven't had any trouble until I tried to do a resize.

I tried putting a body (color code #000000) around all controls, and once I did that the resize worked fine. Given that, I'm considering this a bug.

I haven't played with it much to figure out just how much body is required to avoid this bug. The design philosophy for this skin is to have as little body as possible so I will try a few things. I suspect all I really need do is put a pixel of body at each corner.

....

Ok, I tried a few things, and here's the scoop. If there is not a least one pixel of body either above or below (either will do, both are NOT required) any controls which have break lines in them.

it is not a bug, it's a constraint.

A constraint is something that is part of the design. A bug is a something that comes from the implementation. Calling a crash a "constraint" is a cop-out.

It's a limitation, one that comes from a bug.
