YASQ: Skin Paths not correct

**Viscouse** · 09-23-2005, 11:23 PM

Yet Another Skin Question.

Sorry I didn't know if this was supposed to go here or the Skins forum. If I did it wrong please tell me.

I'm trying to make a skin_browser.skin but it's not cooperating.
If I use the BAV2 skin, hit the "Skins" button, I get a proper menu of the 3 skin directories I have. No problem.

If I load up my POS skin, hit my "ExitMenu" button to go to my ExitMenu, then hit the "Skins" button I load my skin_browser.skin but I see my MP3 list instead.
Almost everything is the same between the 2 files.

How do I tell my skin where to look for skins?

EDIT...here's the code...

Code:

MEDIACAR Skin
MEDIACAR skinbrowser Skin
skin_menu.jpg,skin_menu.jpg,skin_menu.jpg,skin_menu.jpg

The number of elements on the S definition changes (items separated by comma).. you're probably not using the correct format to display the skin list. You should most likely copy the definition from the BrushedMetal Skin and then change the values as necessary. It is also important that the file is called skin_browser.skin, but I guess you got that much figured out.

It looks like you may have put the wrong type of "S" definition in there. Try the following: (you may need to adjust the colors)

/, S, x, y, w, h, forecolor R;RGB, G, B, backcolor R;RGB, G, B, selected color R;RGB, G, B, select color R;RGB, G, B, trs, font size;FONT, font name
S01,116,115,209,334,255,245,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,255,255,255,TRUE,15,"ARIAL NARROW:B"

Also, I see some typo's in the screen settings (skin_men u.jpg) and in some of the color codes.

Thanks (again). That did the trick. Sometimes it's hard to know which def to use. I thought I copied it correct, but I guess not.

DiNASTY, those typo bothers me too. It is correct in the file, but shows up funny when put in the BB software.
