'icon_empty_focus.png' question (1 Viewer)

[Vanessa]

Hi hi

It's possible "bring to front" the "icon_empty_focus.png" file when i select an item on mymusic or myvideos thumbnail?

in order to obtain this? (left image current) (right image effect wanted)

kind regards for you help

no, that's not possible, BUT: you can change the opacity of the thumbnail so that the background shines through it!

If it isn't possible, can it be possible? I think this feature will improve the user experience a lot and it would be a minor thing to implent, or?

Only need change the Z-ORDER. If the developers can't change this (very easy) and put on SVN...i will do but no best like the mp programmers

 

[mofux]

well vanessa - we could easily change the z-order - but all other skins will be messed up then...

hope you see the problem with that!

so better try to make the thumbnails a little bit transparent so that the background shines through them

Hehe, yes i know but i say add z-order to XML files

<zorder>1</zorder> (1=up, 0=down)

yeah, that would be an possibility, but i'm a little bit afraid of including this... don't know why exactly.

maybe because it might confuse other skinners... let us sleep a night over that and post a screenshot where the opacity of the thumbnails is a little bit lower, i'm pretty sure that works out well

(it's a hard decision to include things requested by one SINGLE user, and maybe nobody else never will ever use it and we have a lot of redundancy in the code + places where bugs could happen)

hope you understand

couldn't some new tags be added... like <imageFolderTop> and <imageFolderFocusTop>, with these images being applied on top of the thumbnail? it wouldn't affect any existing skins that way but would open up the flexibility to the the kind of thing vanessa wanted?

Ok i will stop. sorry i'm single user

I hope you mean that you will only stop asking for this and not actually stop your great work. The skins you design look great and there are a lot of people who can't wait for these to become a reality
Keep up the good work, Vanessa_cl
