Skinner required

[idkpmiller]

I am working on GameZone v2 and the skin stuff is driving me crazy, I would like someone to sort out the width of the listbox to fill the screen whilst keeping the font the same not stretching it.

I just realised if I just attached my skin.xml file I suspect skinners can see the effect without having the application (bit like the matrix )

Cheers

Your problem is here..

<DrawText text="@Item" loc="5,6" size="470,30" textStyle="GeneralText" align="Left" />

The size "470,30" means 470% of the width x 30% of the height. Try numbers like size = "90,90" and see how that works for you.

You should have to tweak your roundedrect values as well.

Code:

        <CompositeImage name="UnselectedFileListItemImage" size="420,38"> [B][color=Red]<--% of screen in x & y values , try size="67,4.5"[/color][/B]
            <DrawText text="@Item" loc="5,6" size="470,30" textStyle="GeneralText" align="Left" /> [color=Red][B]<--% of the COMPOSITE IMAGE in x & y values, try size="90,90"[/B][/color]
        </CompositeImage>

Thanks for that, it was just the right amount of information to get me going, issue now resolved and skin cleaned up of unnessary bits

Cheers.

I thought explaining it would make more sense in case others were uncertain. Getting the hang of % can get tricky. I still guess and do alot by trial and error.

It took me a looong time before I finally realized that the size value was a percentage. And, not only that, but a percentage of a parent.

Took a lot of futzing about wondering why a control I wanted 50 pixels down was waving at me from halfway across the screen.
