Calendar Skin V.9.8

[dhpss]

Arbitrajeu, RBishop: BIG thanks! it works great!!  

[rebecker]

I'm new to this program, so I this is a real stupid questions  

I'd like to shorten the maximum height of the skin by a small amount for asthetic reasons. However, changing the maxheight setting doesn't seem to work. What other settings need changing.

Also, can I change the 'Last Update' setting to a different color font, preferably white? If so, how. I fooled with the font color settings but couldn't get anthing to change.

Thanks.

You also need to change the defregion for the particular region you are trying to shorten, and the offsetadd commands within that region.  Refer to the skin reference for details, or come back with specifics if you prefer.

Try adding two lines, either side of the text commands, thus:

Code Select Expand

color,font,255_255_255
text,90,2,Last Update: ,l
text,116,12,[updatetime],c,l
color,font,-1_4_-1
Not tested, but it looks right.

...and as far as I understand, all calcspace commands should be modified - the number in the first parameter should be decreased by the same amount.

Here's what I'd like to do; change the maximum bottom of the screen to approximately where the second line at the bottom is, just above the "Uptime..."



I didn't see a pattern of defregion, offsetadd and calcspace commands that would make this happen. Other than changing the size of the button area (eliminating day and date and moving the "Last Update" wording), I left all other areas of the skin as is.

Re: the "LAST UPDATE" color setting, here's what I entered, but no change occurred:

Code Select Expand

changefont,tahoma,12,b
region,18,0,-1
Color,font,255_255_255
text,113,3,LAST UPDATE: ,l
text,210,3,[updatetime],c,l
color,font,-1_4_-1
changefont,tahoma,11,

Any help will be appreciated.

Do you want all of those items open at one time and a smaller foot print? If you do then you will have to reduce the the area of each section. To do this you will need to reduce the defregion and offsetadds for each region. The problem is that you have all ready reduced the area of most sections to there minimums(at least that is what I see in the screen shot). That is why it is nice that those areas can collapse. Does this help?

I was hoping that there would be a way to prevent the modules from showing below the second line from the bottom. No, I don't intend to have all showing. Generally, I would have just the Agenda module open. I just wanted to show you where I'd like the bottom item line to stop. Currently the Agenda items sometime run through the trees located in the right center area of the beach scene and I was hoping there was a way to restrict that from happening. Totally an asthetic issue (and minor at that ), but I'm trying to understand the programing of this software so I can create my open skins.

On another issue; is there a command that would start the Agenda module automatically after a soft reset. If so, can you point me in the proper direction?

Thanks.

How to removing the blank space ?

Blazingwolf,

Nice skin. I was wondering (sort of off-topic) the skin that you are using for the top and bottom taskbar - is this available? Is it for WB or Wisbar A.

Cheers

Boy I must be slipping. I completely missed this post. Drumbo, I apologize. The theme and task bar stuff is from a skin from Juni. It is his controlpad skin for dashboard. It will work without dashboard because he also made a .tsk for the file. Here is his website address.

To start the agenda change this line: initregion,11,999. Change the 999 to 0.


As for the other part. You will need to go to the agenda section. Look for every spot that mentions "calcspace" and "offsetadd". You will need to change these figures to shorten the skin. I will play with it some over the next couple of days to see if I can tell you the exact changes.

I'm not sure that you can. Agenda doesn't seem to display unless it can display the whole appointment. Maybe someone else might know.

BlazingWolf, Arbitrajeu you are amazing  

I have a single question,
I made the modification that you suggested Jeu to remove the extra space from the launcher, but now I have another problem.

I would like to make the Agenda take the whole screen. Currently it resizes correctly to take the available screen size according to which regions are open, But there is a small area at the end of the page not used, can I enlarge the Agenda section to use more space if available  

Sorry for the naive question, but any help is appreciated.

Your suggestion re: calcspace worked. By reducing those numbers in the agenda section by 5 I have the positioning I was looking for. I didn't change any offsetadd settings, though; it didn't seem necessary.

Thanks.

Hi rebecker,

I don't want display calendar at the top. Can you put your files please ?

Thx

You should be able to do the exact opposite of what I told rebecker to do. Add whatever number you need to all calcspace locations in the agenda.
