Add a second image in contact list by LuckyMe on 06-10-2008 at 07:33 PM

Hi people i was wondering if is it possible to add a second image in contact list area, i mean apart from the current background, just in front of it but behind the contact list groups.
Thanks in advance

Edit: i´ve managed to add the image but then again it shows in front of the contact groups :( take a look:

quote:
<BuddyList id=atom(abView) Layout=FillLayout() CmdGroup=guid("{16E32D35-5350-4805-B7F0-5E782510AF6F}") background=rcimg

(59100)/>

<Element Layout=BorderLayout() layoutPos=bottom>
<Element padding=rect(0,0,0,0) content=rcbkd(59131) layoutpos=right/>
</Element>


</Element>
</Element>
</Element>




Any ideas? plz

Can you post a screenshot? I don't understand what you mean in front of the groups

I'm guessing you mean like a square behind the contact list, so you see the edges/the image if you make contact list transparent.

Yes it is, but I just can't remember how exactly, but those elements within elements are tricky sometimes also don't have the time right now to do so.

Download Festival tomorrow :)

Thanks, here you can see ;), thats not exactly the image i want to use but it works as an example:

being more explicit, this image is hiding the contacts, & the main idea is not that, it must be between background and them :P

OH! so you just want it to act like an lvback.gif?

if so that's easy :) (Although it looks like you've done it already and just pasted the huge ferrari logo on top of it :S)

Take a look at how Sunshine achieved this in Skylines :) as one example :)

your problem is that you are laying the images in 1001 and also the fact that you are laying them out further down in the definition which means it will overlap things.

The best way to do it is to lay them in 923 just below the header element, that way it goes underneath the list but stays on top of the main background.

Hello!!!

Willz, its ok??????:

Def 923

code:
<Element Layout=BorderLayout()>
<Element id=atom(header) Layoutpos=top Height=0/>
</Element>

<Element Layout=BorderLayout() layoutPos=bottom>
<Element padding=rect(0,0,0,0) content=rcbkd(59700) layoutpos=right/>
</Element>


<Element id=atom(vapor)/>
<Element Layout=filllayout()>
<Element layout=borderlayout()>


This work, but...

Look this:

Don't listen to me I'm tired and getting it all wrong tonight :(


RE: Add a second image in contact list by Willz on 06-11-2008 at 01:12 AM

yeah your problem is that you have set a background for the list and because the image goes under the list thats why you don't see it. You can achieve the same effect by starting a layering system right under the header element.

But the quick fix for that would be to place it in the 1001 definition (even though its a bit messy and it won't be 100%).

So yeah I leave it up to you to figure it out :P
