Hi Jaggy,

Using BR-SHV with weather2 BR-shv skin, after I enter the weather2 plugin and view some weather, if i hit update the menu buttons kinda get funky. See attached. Is this a plugin or skin problem? I don't have the knowledge to know if I should ask you or the plugin developer.

To be quite honest I have no idea what would cause that, it isn't something I have seen before. The buttons are done almost the same as everywhere else in the skin, the only difference is I add them to the Weather2 skin as they needed to be slightly wider to display the text without word wrapping. This is what I have if anyone can see anything wrong with it

Code:

    <!-- buttons -->
    <CompositeImage name="ButtonNormal" size="22,7.0">
        <DrawImage filename="..\_CoreImages\popup_button_normal.png" loc="0,0" size="100,100"/>
        <DrawTextWithOutline text="@buttonText" loc="0,0" size="100,100" outlineWidth="2" borderColor="Black" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
    </CompositeImage>

    <CompositeImage name="ButtonSelected" size="22,7.0">
                <DrawImage filename="..\_CoreImages\WhiteBorder_Button_Selected.png" loc="1.5,0" size="97,100"/>
        <DrawTextWithOutline text="@buttonText" loc="0,0" size="100,100" outlineWidth="2" borderColor="Black" textStyle="ButtonSelectedText" align="Center" valign="Center"/>
    </CompositeImage>

I am also using it with B-R-SHV at the moment & it has been fine for me......but I'm not sure if I have done an update since I swapped back to B-R-SHV or not, I will test tomorrow.

Ok, thanks in advance for checking in the future

Oh, and I wanted to point out, once it was only the forecast button, once both forecast and radar, and once with only radar. So it isn't consistent. thanks.

EDIT: I think I am on to something. If the radar or satellite (animated) is in focus and I request an "Update" it goofs up the button text. Sounds like a plugin problem? Updating with current, overview or forecast doesn't mess em' up. I been known to break things lately without trying

[Jaggy]

Well I can recreate it on the PC, for me it was the current button, just as you said when I have an animated satellite image showing & that could be why I haven't seen it before as I normally have it on current when I manually update, it also doesn't do it at all on my NMT.

I have noticed in the past that there is something "odd" "different to GB-PVR" about the way the wiz-?? does the buttons as they change size for a while when you un-select them & then come right after a period of time, not a big thing & probably more noticeable when doing mod's to a skin than using the plugin, but it may be related?

At least we know, when it happens, why it happens, and if we want to avoid it, we know what to avoid!

I've noticed this too, but I've never figured out the cause.

Maybe has something to do with the way the buttonlist is recreated when you update. But the buttonlist is within WizTools, so it maybe a bug within it as well.
