View Full Version : Resizing Playlist Window

Okee, so I've looked at about 8 other skins, to see how they all resize their playlist windows. I've been trying to get it to work, but keep failing. I thought it was the colours I was using on the edges, but that seems to be right. I thought it might be that they were touching the edges, but other skins don't have their special resizing colours touching the sides. MapBreaksH/V, but that seems to be okay too.

If anyone could help me out on this, it would be very much appreciated. :)
I've been spending the last hour trying to fix that one thing (in addition to the other 6 I just spent skinning), and I really am too tired to think about it any more tonight.

You can download the skin from here:

Edit: Terribly sorry about having posted in the wrong section. Sorry about that, I realise this should have gone into "Skin Help." I guess another symptom of staying up way too late.

/me falls unconscious.

That was not too complicated. Nice skin you made!!

I'll tell you what i did.

1)The skinkid.ini file was incomplete so I patched that up.

2)Since you apparently wanted to resize the stick as well, the resize set was incomplete

3)You did use the right colours for the edge resizers for the playlist but you forgot to add the resize control for the stick. The one for the playlist should have been for break 1 and the one for the stick for break 0.

4)In the mapbreaksh.bmp you forgot to distinguish between the break line for the stick and the playlist. The breakline for the stick is colour 0,0,0 and for the playlist it's colour 17,17,17 (but i have been told anything would work (34,34,34 or 51,51,41 whatever)). Just be consistent.

What you now need to do is to figure out where to put the mapbreaksv.bmp break line. As you can see it tears apart the image in the playlist.

Good luck!

Hey, nice start. I'll keep the stick for a while; I like the black. Keep working on it, I'm looking foreward to the finished product.

I don't believe I would of figured it out now esp. with 3 things being amiss like that! Thank you very much for helping me (and thanks ace for the kind words) :)

I made a few changes since... Added Up/down buttons to the slider, changed the background to handle resizes better, lengthened the vis a bit, changed appearances of some things, etc.
