PHOCO_SIGNAL_STRENGTH Slider Question

**jcdillin** · 11-13-2006, 04:36 PM

Hey Everyone,

Maybe i'm doing something wrong here, but i'm creating a skin and I want the phoco signal strength on every page of the skin. When I create the slider it will work on the first loaded page and then no page thereafter. Is that slider only good for one page or do I need to create a different number for each instance?

Thanks,

should work on any screen with the exact same code.
I use them on every .skin file, copy and pasted.
Some tips on sliders, this may be just me, but i always make those items the very first lines in the .skin files. They have issues if they are scattered around within the file.

In a folder with your skin will place folders \slider_battery and \slider_signal (the names are arbitrary) in them put the pictures of with slider. I used pictures with the names of slider_0.gif, slider_1.gif ...slider_20.gif

A code is in EVERY skin file:

/, Y, Back Slider file path
Y01,"slider_battery\SLIDER_*.gif"
Y02,"slider_signal\SLIDER_*.gif"

/, S, x, y, w, h, x1, y1, w1, h1, O, Style, Pointer file path, h2, Code;SLIDERCODES, Tooltip
S01,558,6,74,15,558,6,True,15,V,02," ",015,"SIGNAL_STRENGTH_PHOCO","Signal Strength"
S02,497,6,44,15,498,6,True,15,V,01," ",015,"BATTERY_STRENGTH_PHOCO","Battery Strength"

Works fine!

I have the phone signal slider at the top of my skin. It is part of an INC file.

make sure the S line has a correct reference to the Y part ie the number that comes after H or V.

The Y parts are numbered in the order they appear, not the number that appears after the Y.

I found this out the hard way.

What I did was get it working on the first menu skin, then I just copied and pasted it from there and for some odd reason it would always work on the menu skin but never after that.

thanks guys i'll give it another stab

I think I might have found the issue, will it mess up if you have less than 20 images? if so is there a way to tell it how many your using?

Slider backstyles are currently limited to using the images from 0 to 20 (total of 21 images) -- this was for MC compatibility, but I have planned to allow customization of that, just never got around to doing it.
