Problems with the gen.bmp font!

[slaven one]

Hi there,

I´ve made my own winamp skin. Everything is fine, so far. Only the Font in the gen.bmp is giving me headache . Beacuse I can´t get it right. The Letters are in the Media Browser not correctly displayed, and I don´t know why?

Here´s my gen.bmp

gen.bmp (62 KB)

Maybe some of you guys can figure out whats wrong. I can´t.

thanks for the help!

You started your alphabet off in the wrong location.

The top corner of the letter A must start at 1 x 88 on your bitmap.

The colour in the pixel row immediately before the first letter is then used as the delimiter between the other letters, they can be any width, but must be a fixed height.

See the Winamp5 classic base skin attachment in the following thread for the correct gen.bmp file that you can use as a template.

Ok

I set it on 1 x 88 but it still doesnt work .

Well the Letterfields have a fixed height (7 Pixels), and the font Size is 10, maybe I should decrease to 8?

What else could it be?

thanks for the help!

Check your background colour, the light blue, it's not the same between each letter, there are a few very subtle colour changes between some of the letters and that's screwing up the delimiter, make sure the background color is constant, check the attachement I've added, it's your bitmap with the colour changed, I've left the pixels it hasn't changed so you can see...

Bingo, I got it, at least!

Thanks Mr. Jones for your help!!
