Call em.. Inversion as in what would happen if you inversed black > White.

btw, that pink is killin me, medium grey might be a better backdrop, but thats just me.

Hard to be objective when ur eyes are burning.

Well I haven't updated in a while becouse I have run into a bit of a problem.  I can get the icons to line up right.  They are stuck at the top of the screen and I can't figure out how to move them.  There are two ways that I can think of to fix this.  One is to resize all my icons (which I really don't want to have to do).  The other is to move the dock away from the edge of the screen so that the line up right.  Unfortunatly, this throws off my running indecators.  Anybody have a different idea/way that will work?

Here's some pix:

Dock with the running indecator spot hidden (this is probably what I'll go with if I can't get anything else to work):

Dock with the running indecator spot showing.  Notice how the running indecators are thrown off.

Hopefully someone can help me with this.

ImStein, your the winner!

you better make sure your blank png is named tileblank.png if your line in the code is calling for tileblank.png...

It seems to me that your running indicators are in the exact same spots on both views there.  It's the dock that has moved.  How big is the running indicator image pixel wise?

Let me see if I understand this.  The icons are too close to the top edge of the dock?  Put a OutsideBorderTop tag in there and set the number to 5.  Adjust from there.  That will get your icons away from the indicator.  But I think maybe your indicator is too far down into the dock.  The second shot of the dock looks good, the icons are setting nicely between the top and bottom.  The indicator is the problem.  Try an indicator with a smaller dimension.  I usually go with 20x20 when I use them.

The OffsetIconByPercentX line may work well for the top dock, but it also affects the sides and bottom and it may not work out right on those ones.  The best thing to do is the OutsideBorderTop tag because that can be set different for each docks position on the screen (Left would be OutsideBorderLeft etc.)

Not to shut Mirsguy down or anything as I use the tileblank code in all my zoomers, but mostly so I can resize the icons to fit into some of the more constraining docks.

Takes more than that to shut me down, monkeyman! (you're still my dock hero!)

Then you don't have automatic distance from edge checked.  That is what the outsidebordertop tag does, it makes the top a little bigger.  Resizing the icons with the tile code will work and moving them with the tile code (the offset tag) will work for the top dock ONLY.  when someone puts that dock on the bottom of the screen or the sides of the screen, it's going to be wonked.  Gauranteed.  Those lines of code work for the entire dock, no matter what side it's on and you can't change them individually.  On a dock like that, you want the icons to be centered in the dock.  Using that offset tag will push the icons down toward the bottom edge of the dock.  I may not know what I'm talking about though...

Here is some images to show you guys whats happening.  When the outsidebordertop tag is set to 0 the dock displays normally, just the icons are out of place and are touching the top edge of the screen:

However, when I change the setting to 20 the dock moves up and the icons stay put:

Notice that in both images the automatic distance from edge is checked.  Hopefully this is all just user error...

What he said.  Not sure about Mirsguy, but for zoomers, if it's just simple graphics, I use 100x100 pixels.  Sometimes 150x150. 

Also, I always leave a 10 pixel border on my graphics, meaning each side of the graphic has 10 pixels of nothing.  This way, when it's set to auto distance from edge, there is 10 pixels of blank space between the edge of the screen and the dock.  Nothing hangs off the screen.

right now the top and bottom docks are 676 x 100.  I know that this is an odd size, but since I was making this in blender all I did was crop the render down to the dock.  I could easily make it 100 x 100 though since I could delete the middle and join the ends.  The bottom dock has a 2 pixel border on the bottom and sides.  The top dock doesn't have a top border, but the side and bottom border is 5 pixels.  I'll fix the borders next.

Here's my code (This is the code for the first pic in reply #38):

I haven't added the resize icon with the blank png yet.

Hey, how is the dock coming? Is it ready yet????

Hey guys, I know its been a while since my last update but here is my progress:

• Top Dock:                       Done

• Bottom Dock:                  Done 

• R & L Dock:                     Done

• Running Indecators:         Almost Done (Have only two more to make)

• Seperators:                     Almost Done (Have only four more to make)

• Weather Backdrops:         Done

As for the name, you may or may not have noticed the +1 at the end of post #38.  This was becouse before it it said "ImStein, your the winner!"  The name is going to be Neon Nights.  Note also the folder on the desktop also named Neon Nights   All the names were good, but to me this one seemed to hit the spot.  Angus, yours was really cool and I think it just might have inspired a future wallpaper .

Anyways, The docks should (hopefully) be up by the end of this week.
