Title: Problem with Z order in a new layout
Post by: tapule on December 03, 2010, 06:22:48 am
Hi,
I'm having problems with the Z order of video1 in a custom layout. I have, in this order, Snap, Video1 and Custom1 with a image that acts as a window. When there is no video, the custom1 is rendered above the Snapshot as I want, but when there is a video for the selected game, it is rendered above everything.
What I'm doing wrong?

Edit: Forget to say that I'm using mala 1.73

I think my Z order is correct:
Background
Snap
Video
Video2
....
Gamelist
Custom 1

Sorry.

Video is 'always' on top at the moment.

Hey Loadman,

I came across this in a search, as in my layout I'm running into the same issue.  I have an image that slightly overlaps parts of the video element.  You mentioned it's "always on top at the moment".  Do you have an idea of what kind of developmental effort it would take or when this bug may be addressed?

As always your time is appreciated.  Thanks!

Big Effort.  Probably beyond me.  :'(

The rest of the graphics layers are easy as they are static and you combine and repaint.

An you can key over a video, but making the layout over the top is beyond me right now I think

Loadman, this bug was always there? or there are any version in which this was working correctly?

It's not a bug

You could never layer videos.

Possibly I should change the layour editor so Video's do not appear in the list, I was being optimistic.
