Controlling fixedAspectRatio images in a skin

[ACTCMS]

Specifically the vertical allignment... I'm using this:

<DrawImage filename="@AlbumArt" loc="2.5,17" size="26,74" fixedAspectRatio="true" valign="Top"/>

to display images with different aspect ratios, with the overall size being constrained by width.

The width constraint works and the images keep their aspect ratio, but they are always centered vertically - valign doesn't cause an error, but it also doesn't seem to work - what have I missed?

Sorry there is nothing you can do about this, when you use the built in fixedAspectRatio="true" it always centers the image.

If you need better control over the image you'd need to make "@AlbumArt" a callback, and manually create the image with the picture positioned how you want it.

That's a shame - it seems like something you would want to be able to do (I noticed that it centers horizontally too)... I'll probably take the "fixedAspectRatio" off, constrain by height as well, and let it deform for the moment... however "callback" does look like another interesting avenue of investigation.

Are there any other techniques to make the same skin cope with 16:9 and 4:3?
