MaLa Background Question

(1/2) > >>

97thruhiker:
Well I'm slowly figuring my way through MaLa (even with my own problems I think this frontend is great, will probably become the standard for frontends).  Well everything seems to be working for me now except for one thing.  When I start the frontend it starts in the vertical mode and has the text options I set in the layout editor.  The only thing is that my background image is not being displayed.  If I go into the layout editor and click on the background image it shows the link to my selected image.  Whats happening is the color thats being displayed in the box is being brought over my selected image when running the frontend (in the editor mode my selected image is present).  Is there a way to get rid of the color selection or send it behind the image? Is there something I'm missing here?  Thanks.

Can you e-mail me your layout.?

I'm happy to have a look for you

I'm sure it's something simple   ;D

Did you create a folder named like your layout (mll) file which holds the background image?
You can also disable the use of folders for layouts in the options dialog (gui->layout->use layout names for directory names)  if you want to share images within more than one layout.

loadman:
Hi,
  I got it to work (see attached pic), You may want to change the font colour or background image brightness to your taste so it stands out better.

  I renamed that layout to just 'kong' to keep it simple. I made a directory called the same name 'kong' and the image is kept in that folder (you guessed it) Kong.
I will e-mail it to you.

Thanks for the help  :).  I will be looking for your email.  So was the problem in how I was labeling the folders?  Yes, I will either change the font color or lighten the background image (or both) as the yellow is a little difficult to pickup.  I have just been stuck with the image problem and wanted to try to figure it out before I messed around further with the font again.  The layout is about as simple as it gets but will work out great for what I want.  Thanks again for your help.

As I previously mentioned even with the problems I am having I think this frontend is wonderful.  Those responsible for its creation should be appaulded  :applaud:.
