Slider Skin - How To Leave Active Buttons Expaned; More

[rebecker]

I've been tweaking the Slider Skin and would like to have the default setting of the top buttons be in the expanded position. Can it be done?

I'd also like the left most button to be in the up (on) position by default. Can THAT be done?

Thanks.

rebecker, I can't help you with the first part but to change the arrow to up by default change the following lines:

if,var,var26,,=,0  Change to a 1.

imagebutton,14,33,down_arrow.png,t,14,6,var26=1 Change to 0.

imagebutton,14,33,up_arrow.png,t,14,6,var26=0 Change to a 1.

I will look into the first part(unless of course someone beats me to it).

I have figured out how to get the pop-up to load automatically after a soft-reset, just not a power-on.

At the beginning of region 14, page 0, there is an initregion 14, 0.  Change the 0 to 100.  It should look like this:

Code Select Expand

initregion,14,100

I haven't figured out how to get it to open after a power-on yet, I'm still looking into it for you.

Ok, I have been able to get the pop-up to load after a power-on (after the owner information is displayed) by adding a "jumpregion" to region 17, page 0.   I added it before the "endregion."

Here is what my region 17, page 0 looks like:

Code Select Expand

region,17,0,-1
defregion,17,0,20,240,56,6
jumpregion,14,100
endregion,17,0

@ rebecker:

as i can see, you removed the balloon.png just as i did.
If you want to align the buttons to the right side (no hole between
the buttons) find the following lines in Region 14 (Button popup):

offsetadd,-27,0  --> change to offsettadd,-14,0

and at the end of the region:

offsetadd,27,16  --> change to offsettadd,14,16

Thanks for the replies. I looks like there are a couple ways to achieve the same thing. I did the following (received via private message):

to make the expand section start out expanded, change the initregion just prior to region 14, to initregion,14,100 instead of initregion,14,0.

As far as getting the leftmost button active, it's an up or down arrow, and the default start position is down. To make it up, add the following prior to region 14 again.

initvar,var26,1

Thanks again.

rebecker,

This will only make the buttons show  on intial startup. If you want to show them every time you power on the ppc you have to use this:

Code Select Expand

poweron,14,4,100

Place it under this:

Code Select Expand

maxheight,277
height,153

initregion,0,0
initregion,1,999
initregion,4,999
initregion,10,999
initregion,8,0
initregion,11,999
initregion,19,999
initregion,16,999

poweron,14,4,100

Now you'r thinking it works the other way, well no it dosen't before you power of tap the expand/despand button and leave it despanded, then when you power on the ppc it will not be expanded. If you use the poweron comand then no matter how you leave it it will alwas be expanded.

Lordtwisted,

Since I almost never collapse the buttons, I didn't realize that I was missing this function   . However, I added it anyway and then realized it's a nice added feature!

Thanks.

What I have never understood is what the heck does the arrow button do?

rebecker, I can't help you with the first part but to change the arrow to up by default change the following lines:

if,var,var26,,=,0  Change to a 1.

imagebutton,14,33,down_arrow.png,t,14,6,var26=1 Change to 0.

imagebutton,14,33,up_arrow.png,t,14,6,var26=0 Change to a 1.

I will look into the first part(unless of course someone beats me to it).

The up arrow causes the weather,RSS and clocks to appear in the same region(at different times of course).

poweron,14,4,100 doesn't give any effect in version 0.11.0
What to do ?

[Mikki L'Andgello]

Sorry, I did't change initregion,14,100 from 0 value !
