where is ths skin for this popup defined?

[Ted the Penguin]

ok, I seem to fail at finding things in other peoples skins, but I am trying to skin all of the popups and I cant seem to find where some of them are defined, like the conflict popup, and the error popups, well I think I know where the error one is defined (baseskin.xml), but it looks like its not getting loaded

thanks

The "main menu\skin.xml" defines the "ErrorMessagePopup" composite image.

The conflict popup is mostly hard coded, but it does use the "ProgrammePopupDescription" font from the "tv guide\skin.xml". Its a pretty old screen, in need of a modernization at some point.

ok thanks, if I find any other popups that I cant figure out I will opst questions about them here

The "main menu\skin.xml" defines the "ErrorMessagePopup" composite image.

this does not seem to get loaded in sassari, for some reason. it is defined, however when there is an error it looks like the popup in the blue skin, but it is NOT the popup from the blue skin (I changed that to make sure).

so it looks like it is using a hardcoded dialog, and looks for the "CenteredSelectedButtonImage" to do the "OK" button

I dont have the sassari skin, but I do have a couple of others on this machine, and I just double checked and I can change "ErrorMessagePopup" defined in "main menu\skin.xml" for those skins and see the changes correctly.

Sassari may have it defined in the baseskin.xml file instead of the main menu.

The reference version I have is dated Sept-06-2006 has this code:

Code:

<CompositeImage name="ErrorMessagePopup" size="1280,720">
<DrawImage filename="..\_res\popup_wide.png" loc="190,160" size="900,400"/>
<DrawText text="@errorMessage" loc="180,170" size="390,150" textStyle="ButtonText" align="Left" visible="true"/>
<Element name="OkButton" loc="275,360" size="130,35"/>
</CompositeImage>

You might have to sort it out so it is only defined in one or the other.

[Ted the Penguin]

yeah... already pulled that from baseskin... and it still doesnt work, kinda confused here

[Fatman_do]

post the code for the composite image you are using. I'll check it out.

Edit: The example in my post worked in the version I had.

Edit-2: Look at your gbpvr.exe.log and it might tell you something.

I think this does a decent job dressing up that popup since the text was shoved up in the left corner.

Code:

<CompositeImage name="ErrorMessagePopup" size="1280,720">
<DrawImage filename="..\_res\popup_wide.png" loc="190,160" size="900,400"/>
<DrawText text="@errorMessage" [B]loc="220,190" size="840,200" [/B]textStyle="ButtonText" [B]align="Center" valign="Center"[/B] visible="true"/>
<Element name="OkButton" [B]loc="557,460" size="166,45"[/B]/>
</CompositeImage>

do you have it only defined in the baseskin.xml? because I have removed it from baseskin.xml and with it only defined in main menu/skin.xml and the settings do not work...

could you try the latest version of sassari red?
I am doing some work on it right now... obviously, but that skin was zipped from the machine I am currently using, so any issues I am seeing should be present there.
I think it is worth noting that I have never seen that dialog skinned in sassari.
