Creating a Video Popup Plug-in

[Jeff]

I am working on adding the ability for the weather plug-in to act as a video popup plug-in over playing video. It works except that I am trying to only overlay the bottom portion on the video screen but I get a blue cast to the upper portion as well even though I didn't draw any images or objects to that portion of my image. Do I need to do something special to indicate that that portion is transparent?

Thanks

theres a skinhelper.getOSDTransparencyColour() method (might be pluginhelper), which you need to use as the background colour for the image first, so in you render method

Code:

Image composite = new Image(500,500);
Graphics.FromImage(composite).Clear(skinHelper.getOSDTransparencyColour();
// then all you other draw functions

it might not be called getOSDTransparencyColour, but its something like that, easy to find.

Thanks.; that did the trick It is GetOSDTransparentColor() in the PlugInHelper.
