Skinning the main menu

[alibert]

Hi,

I have some questions regarding the main menu skin:

(1) Some time ago you mentioned in the pre-release forum that the horizontal menu task has been added to pvrx2. It would be nice if you could show an example on how to use it.

(2) How do I adjust the spacing between the buttons? The "offset" parameter inside the "MenuButtonOrigin" placement doesn't seem to have any effect?

(3) What does "rightShift" and "withInsetX" do?

(4) I've recognized that I can use the "@taskImage" parameter inside the buttons to draw the taskimage inside the button composite image - but it doesn't work for the "exit" task (seems like a small bug to me).

(5) The panels (next recording) are not yet included in pvrx2. are they?

Many thanks.

There isnt really too much you can adjust about the main menu at this stage. Host of it is hardcoded. You cant change the number of items on the main menu etc. You can do a horizontal menu. I've attached a sample.

Ok, I'll fix this.

No, not yet.


I do intend to supply better more flexible menus at some stage.

Hi,

okay, I think I'll wait a bit then. The sizes and offsets are too undeterministic to me at the moment.
