rotated skin and MSG_ image
dibb1er:
I have added a notification on my wincab skin for MSG_SKIPLASTOK (see below)
problem is, it displays ok on a non-rotated skin, but if i set it to rotate either left or right, then the image is reduced or something.
is this because of the format of the original image? ive tried using jpg and bmp, but no luck, still get the same result.
I have attached the actual image i am using, plus what it should (sort of) look like, and what it looks like when rotated.
:banghead:
oh, and is there a MSG_QUEUEFULL or equivalent?

This is because when rotated the display needs to adjust for the aspect ratio change and the target image shrinks. What you can do is temporarily change this graphic to a white rectangle, then rotate the display, then take a screenshot with the display rotated. Load the screenshot into your editor and crop to the white rectangle, rotate to horizontal, and re-create your image. Do NOT tinker with the icon dimensions in the skin! The image should come out the way you want it.
As far as MSG_QUEUEFULL, no I don't have that; I'll have to add it. If you try to add a song to a full queue it triggers MSG_INVALID, but that message is triggered for any entry problem so it's probably not what you want.

MSG_QUEUEFULL is in place for the next release.

hmm.. nope... didnt seem to work...
i followed the instructions above, but still the same result ???
i will have a few more goes at it, and see what i come up with.
i was thinking of just turning the skin over on its side, set rotation to zero, and doing it that way, then remembered that all the text displays will be stuffed up.... D'OH! ... :dizzy:
