buttons sizes in v0.95.11

[alibert]

Hi and thanks in advance,

Attach some screenshots (not too large), with arrows pointing to the exact buttons your talking about and I'll try to help you.

To make it easier to explain I took the default skin and made only small changes to "BaseSkin.xml". I changed the fillcolor for popup buttons to red, and the fillcolor for normal buttons to green:

Code:

<!-- image used for a selected button (in this skin the main menu buttons are different size and shape, so these are defined separately in mainmenu\skin.xml) -->
<CompositeImage name="SelectedButtonImage" size="130,38">
    <DrawRoundedRect loc="4,5" size="120,30" radius="10" borderWidth="4" borderColor="White" fillColor="DarkGreen"/>            
    <DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="15,9" size="115,34" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Left"/>            
</CompositeImage>

<!-- image used for a normal button (in this skin the main menu buttons are different size and shape, so these are defined separately in mainmenu\skin.xml) -->
<CompositeImage name="NormalButtonImage" size="130,38">
    <DrawRoundedRect loc="4,5" size="120,30" radius="10" borderWidth="4" borderColor="Black" fillColor="DarkGreen"/>
    <DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="15,9" size="115,34" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Left"/>            
</CompositeImage>                

<!-- image used for a popup selected button -->
<CompositeImage name="PopupSelectedButtonImage" size="130,38">
    <DrawRoundedRect loc="4,5" size="120,30" radius="10" borderWidth="4" borderColor="White" fillColor="DarkRed"/>            
    <DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="0,9" size="130,34" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Center"/>            
</CompositeImage>

<!-- image used for a popup normal button -->
<CompositeImage name="PopupNormalButtonImage" size="130,38">            
    <DrawRoundedRect loc="4,5" size="120,30" radius="10" borderWidth="4" borderColor="Black" fillColor="DarkRed"/>            
    <DrawText text="@buttonText" loc="0,9" size="130,34" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Center"/>            
</CompositeImage>

This gives me the following result in the recordings screen:



(A) points to the normal buttons, which are displayed correctly in green.
(B) points to the popup buttons, which should be displayed in red, but show up in green, too.

I hope you can understand my problem now.

I did make a couple of changes to make the names consistent across the screens, and this may have been one of them (cant remember for sure).

There are two types of button, normal ones that are shown in a vertical list, like those shown in your screenshot above, and then popup ones which typically shown next to each other and in the default blue skin have centered text rather than left aligned. Both A & B above are the vertical list style, so use the normal button definitions

What exactly are you wanting it to do?

Exactly.

Now because it is a popup window, was it your intention to take the vertical list style for the "DetailsPopupBackground" composite image, or have you maybe overlooked this during the changes?

It would be nice if the details popup would use the popup button style again

Sorry, I wont be changing this.

Sorry, I should 'I wont be changing this in a hurry'. I can look at other options (like some third logical type of button), but I cant change it back to the old popup style because this type of button needs to be different to the other centered popup buttons.
