Volume and Balance

[bartje74]

I'm building my own skin
And my problem is that everytime when i paint the volumebar the balance is also painted but that has to be another color

How can i solve this problem???

[simon snowflake]

if you dont have a balance.bmp, the volume.bmp will be used for the balance aswell.
Atleast i think that that might be it. But i'm not sure.

[Brother V]

i think you have to make a new bmp in were every yopu have the other files one as volume and one as balnce (i cheaked out the base skin and there are 2 different files for this so it should be fairly simple good luk and post it when you finish i wana see how many people are better than me

[bartje74]

I've got and voluma and and balance but he doesn'nt use the balance.bmp

so i've get another one of winamp.com and painted it again but stil the same..

someone else with answers??

[skinme!]

Make sure they're properly named: volume.bmp and balance.bmp

Make sure they're both in the right .wsz / .zip / directory (whichever you're using)

If still problems, post and we'll take a ganders...

[bartje74]

That's ok... an easy mistake to make. You have to remember WA2 is looking for specific bitmaps so you have to name everything correctly.

Yes but the problem is that when you get it from the site of winamp.com the file is named bal.bmp and not balance.bmp

so thats the reasen that i got confused

[Jellby]

May I advertise my template?
Click on the "Skinner's Atlas" link down in my sig. It's a template that contains all the files you need and a long explanation in the readme.txt. Try it

Jellby - I downloaded SkinnersAtlas2.wsz today, and it didn't have nums_ex.bmp - just numbers.bmp. Was up yo?

Sorry, didn't mean to sound intimidating. Didn't realise that was the case. I don't remember it used to be like that. Oh, well. That's prolly cause if balance.bmp isn't present (it isn't essential) a section of volume.bmp will be used instead (cropped 9px from the left and 15?px from the right, if my memory serves me right). Obviously in some skins this will look perfectly natural whereas in others it won't.

If you want anymore help, we're always glad to help... (welcome to skinlove)

AAARRGHH!!!!
And I noticed CursorMultiply.zip (by Skinme!) was missing too. I had to dig in old threads, because I didn't find it in my harddisk Do you have a newer version, Skinme?

Thanks for telling me, JB, it should be fixed now

'twasn't a problem for me, I just grabbed it from the older version, but I thought you'd want to know.

I misread the word 'newer' as ''

Um, what you want a friggin 3d GUI? Are there problems with it?

[StillWater]

I noticed that recently, and I think there was something else missing, though I can't remember what . You might want to double-check everything in there, Jellby.

Ah eh ummm... I was only using the templates... if cursormultiply is what it sounds like... just shoot me now... *gives self another d'oh award*

It's pretty good. Very simple, but a real time-saver. Another innovative manifestation of collective Skin-love wisdom. It was Nini's idea, which was brought to fruition by me, later improved and enhanced by skinme!, and given a home by Jellby's Skinner's Atlas

I don't know, I've never used it (<- this means embarrased to me). I haven't made any cursors since Skinner's Atlas... But I thought you might have found a bug, or changed the readme, or whatever.

No, I'm a lazy farmer
