Skin Buttons - Nouro

[nbarsley]

What xml tag in Nouro skins defines the image(s) to use for the buttons? Are they not defined in the xml file?

look in baseskin.xml, in the main directory of the skin

I guess that answers my question... but my question should have been that I'm trying to get the shutdown plugin to look like the nouro theme. I can change the background but I cannot change the buttons... Do I need to use the skin editor to change this? Can it not be done with xml?

havnt used the shutdown plugin, and therefore havnt seen its skin, let me take a look.

Code:

<CompositeImage name="SelectedButtonImage" size="166,45">
    <DrawRoundedRect loc="4,5" size="155,30" radius="10" borderWidth="4" borderColor="White" fillColor="DarkBlue"/>        
    <DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="15,8" size="155,34" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Left"/>                        
</CompositeImage>
            
<CompositeImage name="NormalButtonImage" size="166,45">    
    <DrawRoundedRect loc="4,5" size="155,30" radius="10" borderWidth="2" borderColor="Black" fillColor="DarkBlue"/>
    <DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="15,8" size="155,34" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Left"/>    
</CompositeImage>
        
<CompositeImage name="SelectedPopupButtonImage" size="136,45">
    <DrawRoundedRect loc="4,5" size="125,30" radius="10" borderWidth="4" borderColor="White" fillColor="DarkBlue"/>            
    <DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="4,8" size="125,34" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Center"/>            
</CompositeImage>

<CompositeImage name="NormalPopupButtonImage" size="136,45">    
    <DrawRoundedRect loc="4,5" size="125,30" radius="10" borderWidth="4" borderColor="Black" fillColor="DarkBlue"/>
    <DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="4,8" size="125,34" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Center"/>            
</CompositeImage>

that is the stuff you will have to change/remove. I would suggest making the popup the same size as the Nouro and putting the buttons in the same place, so you can just use the standard button images.


I dont use Nouro, so I am not exactly familiar with it, at some point I will probably get motivated and start using/modifying it, or I will get a widescreen monitor, and never have to worry about that :p

Hah! I swear that wasnt there when I tried to change the skin!! but now it pops out when I look at the skin.xml.

For my own sanity I'll have to check the skin.xml file thats on my gbpvr computer when I get home from work....

If all of obvious xml tagging is there I will hang my head in shame for the rest of my life and go live somewhere alone in the forest.
