WMP sliders not showing entire image

IR, das the slider knob has 'magic' pink around it?

nope styl,no magic pink.Most wmp plyers seem to have small eq's,I wanted a large one.You can make the background graphic any size you want.You can make the slider image area any size you want.But the actual 'grabber wont show any wider than 7 pixels.I want to make thumb controls that are wider than the underlying image slots.(which are 11 pixels wide so I need grabbers about 17 pix wide)

IR, the slider thumbnail(button) has to be of the width (if the slider is vertical) or height (if the slider is horizontal) that is equal or less than the width(vertical slider) or height(horizontal slider) of the slider images...

no good Pacific even with the vertical slider is set at 11,the thumb button wont show larger than 7.

IR, not sure, but in the code there is probably something like


X1 X2 X3 X4

X1 = place in pixel on X
X2 = place in pixel on Y
X3 = pixels witdh
X4 = pixels high

notsure, should have to look it up.

Damn, just hit too fast

no matter how large I make the sliders the thumb button wont show larger than 7 pixels.Maybe they are limited to that

Are you coding it the 'old' way or do you use SS?

ss

ah, there is the problem

If you are ok with it (and the project isn't top secret ) I can take a look at it.

thanks I will start a new one and import all the graphics in first,I might have 'broke' the skin or something.I've got buttons showing that there arnt even any graphics for in the folder!

Moved all the graphics to a new skin ,...works better now but still havnt figured out the balance freeform slider prob yet.

Reminds me to when I was coding a MMJB player, coded it, however when I shutted down the player and wanted to restart it it didn't open and gave an error, rebuilded the skin after that line by line, found out it were the 4 small file, open, edit , close buttons...

hate code

How wide is your slider bar underneath the button? If you make it less than the width of the button it wont show the edges of the button. You have to make the slider as wide as the button and use majic pink to make it transparent.

did that ,it was 11 pixels wide but the button would never show larger than 7.

tried 14 wide,still no go.drnit! not much you can do with a 7 pixel wide graphic.

In the code you san specify the width of the image too. Check to make sure that is not too small. Search your code for the number 7 and see if there are any in there that shouldnt be. Thats what I have to do sometimes.

thanks ,,will try that

no luck

Hmm. This is wierd! I dunno what to think then. It SOUNDS like a transparency or code problem but I guess it isnt anything obvious with either of those. Wierd.

are there any skins with eq slider knobs larger than 7 pixels?I could download one of them and see what the difference is.

not using trans on the knobs
tried adding to the code manually but it wouldnt accept it

m making a skin with Balance slider thumbnail 8px in size... will be posting it soon...
till then i guess u will ve to work on other parts of ur skin...

as well SleekMP XP also has balance slider greater than 7px... check it out... maybe u will find the problem... maybe not...

Balance slider isnt the prob,its the eq slider knob I cant get to go past 7 pixels.

I think all of mine are bigger than 7. I've never had issues with them being wierd sized. Maybe you could host it somewhere where we could download it and take a look (even though its not done)? That might help us out a little.
