Problems with Tiling by ryxdp on 12-18-2007 at 08:58 PM

I'm getting this weird thing happening when I change 636/7/40:

[Image: attachment.php?pid=875315]

636=274x31 (original size)
637=274x28
640=274x70

Also 20061 appears on both the convo background and login frame as tiled images. It is the same dimensions as the original image. And one last question, what is the image/colour of the two blue things up the top of the contactlist in the corners? Found them :P

Thanks :)

aren't 636 637 and 640 individual images?

I suppose you could make a couple of the images transparant as explained in a previous thread by adding in a line of code

636 and 637 is displayed correctly. It's 640 that screws up. Make sure 640 has 237x63 pixels, because that's the original size. There might be a problem with it's repeating itself (or perhaps a bug!).
If I'm not mistaken, 20061 is also used in toasts. You are allowed to use the same image in many different places.

i think you may have the order around wrong

It's not in numerical order, 640 is in the middle :)

freak544: 636/7/40 are indeed individual images, i just put them all together to show how it should look like but doesn't.

vikke: at 237x63, still nothing. And I think I'll not replace 20061...for now.

aNILEator: I typed them in numerical order - 636, 637, and 640, so you are correct; 640 is in the middle.

Your middle image from the picture seems to be upside down to me but it is hard to tell just by looking at it

But it might be because I have looked at the image too many times


RE: Problems with Tiling by vikke on 12-18-2007 at 09:42 PM

When you save your PNGs, make sure you have the right color-depth, try different ones. Since the picture only is in gray-scale, your image-editor might have saved it as a gray-scale PNG which is not supported by WLM. This is the most unlikely cause, but it's worth a shot.

Have you applied any <MetaData> to that image in your SkinInfo file? The <MetaData> tag contains information about the image, how it's supposed to be displayed etc.


RE: Problems with Tiling by ryxdp on 12-18-2007 at 09:58 PM

In fact i have applied <metadata> tags for <colorize>, does this influence the way the image is processed?

I'll take a look at it.

EDIT: It worked when i removed the <metadata> tags...weird..
Thanks guys :)

636,637 and 640 are already colourized. There's no need to add meta data to those objects in <replace>
