I don't know if this is the correct sectionto post this...

I've noticed in frodo If I have an image 1pixel wide and stretch it a lot (say 1000pixels) it slowly fades into gray.
this wasn't happening in Eden.

I did workaround the issue making the original .png 3px wide. But it messes up the OSD progressbar which was more precise with MIDIMAGE being just 1pix.

Probably a known issue... Just trying to help.

Jup, is known.

8x8 to be on the safe side.

Thanks!

Do You use 8x8 on progress control too?
I never wondered but does XBMC streches down the midtexture to 1px ?

depends on the borders you set and if you use the reveal option

[fastcolors]

so if i had a midtexture 1px wide no borders and I replace it with a rectangle 8px wide no borders i will be shrunk down to 1px as a starting point for progress?

I'm only trying to avoid having the movie barely started and already a long progres bar...

I guess I'll give it a spin might be easier!!

What's reveal option

[fastcolors]

reveal option is basically when you have an image for example 1000px wide and you slowly reveal it left to right according to play progress...

0% played 0 pixel revealed
>
50% played image reveals the 500px on the left
>
100% played 1000px revealed

Very interesting pitty I did not know about it earlier

Any code sample?

[fastcolors]

Code:

<control type="progress" id="prova">
      <description>Example Progress with REVEAL</description>
      <posx>100</posx>
      <posy>60</posy>
      <width>1720</width>
      <height>30</height>
      <visible>true</visible>
      <reveal>true</reveal>
      <texturebg>backgroundtexture.png</texturebg>
      <lefttexture>lefttexture.png</lefttexture>
      <midtexture>midtexture.png</midtexture>
      <righttexture>righttexture.png</righttexture>
      <overlaytexture>overlaytexture.png</overlaytexture>
      <info></info>
</control>

having midtexture.png 1700pixel this image will be revealed left to right instead of stretched.

i assumed in our hypotesis left and right are 10px each. (hence 1700)

Thanks! There's always something to learn.

Could you please elaborate on this ?

[Jezz_X]

I think the other guys just did

[nessus]

I know what reveal option is. I just don't understand how borders have to do with it.
