Title: Game list showing up on top of snap???? Mala layout question
Post by: FALSE on January 03, 2012, 08:59:33 pm

In mala layout editor I have set up the snaps on the left side of the screen and the gamelist on the right side.
For some reason both objects show up in the center of the screen when using mala. 
What is going on? Probably something simple that I'm missing.

Please help, thanks!

what resolution is your monitor set to?  Is your display fullscreen on an LCD?  Make sure your layout size matches your resolution and see if that fixes things.

Thanks but that didn't help.  Any other ideas?

Can you upload your layout to check it?

Sure can but there's not much to it currently. 
I was just trying to figure out how to display game snaps so I was experimenting, it's even still the default background.
The snaps show up but I have the problem.
When I open it with mala layout editor the game list box shows up on the right side and the snaps box shows up on the left...
but when I actually open up mala both objects show up in the center of the screen.

Where is your MLL physically located?  is it in the same directory (folder) as Mala?  or do you have it in a layouts folder?

I'm going to recreate the whole thing on my system and see if I can figure out what's wrong.

FALSE  I still think it has to do with something with your resoultion.

I took your MLL and all I did was change the resolution to my display settings and move a couple things over and voila...

was this what you were going for?

Thats exactly what I'm looking for.  The mll is in the same directory as mala.
I'm going to play with the resolution some more and see if thats the issue, maybe I'm not setting it correctly or something.
