a quick question about position indicator

NeoFireEX · 2nd January 2005, 08:22

well, I'll get to the point. I wanted to know if there is a way that I can alter position indicators (such as in volume/balance/posbar). I'm making a new anime skin and I'd like it not to screw up with the picture as other skins tend to be screwed up by them. I can't post yet what I'm working on yet since I don't have it finalized the way I want, so I don't need it getting stolen from me before I can finish it

No, in classic skins the button positions remain fixed, if you want to be moving them around you need to be making a modern freeform skin, no limitation there on where you put stuff.

Sorry, I didn't mean that I wanted to move them around, but there's some great stuff in that thread ^^. What I was trying to get at was if there was a way to make that position indicator be transparent in certain places.

Sounds like you might need to crop out certain parts of the .bmps. For the volume and balance, it's possible to crop the buttons out entirely and still indicate where they would be in the animation.

For posbar, about the most you can do without removing it entirely is to make it thinner by cropping the image vertically.
