Problem with Vanilla theme

[westpointer]

I find that there are many errors logged in CEGUI.log when using vanilla theme:

The CEGUI version I use is 0.5.1 and vanilla related file comes from CEGUI 0.6.0 What the problem is?

Hi,

This is a problem at our end - basically many years ago when we stripped out most of the rendering related properties from the C++ code, we apparently forgot to add the corresponding property definitions and other support into the Vanilla.looknfeel

There is no immediate fix you can perform other than to either add the properties and other bits to the looknfeel yourself (the exact details is not something I'm going into here, since if I did that I may as well do the fix immediately, which I'm not!). Alternatively, you could remove the offending "<Property>" lines from the looknfeel (and perhaps layouts), or just make sure you catch the exceptions and ignore them (I know these solutions are not ideal ).

Thanks very much for raising the issue - I was not aware of it before now I've added a mantis ticket so that this will get fixed.

It seems those exceptions comes from Vanilla/StaticText widget because after I delete Vanilla/StaticText in layout file or use TaharezLook instead of Vanilla the exceptions disappear.
But I can't find 'UseStandardImagery', 'NormalImage', and 'PushedImage' properties in the Vanilla/StaticText block in Vanilla.looknfeel:

Hi,

They're actually coming from the scrollbar definitions (which are used by the static text). So you should look at "Vanilla/VerticalScrollbar" and "Vanilla/HorizontalScrollbar".

A snippet of the vertical one is:

Code: Select all

<WidgetLook name="Vanilla/VerticalScrollbar">
        <Property name="VerticalScrollbar" value="True" />
        <NamedArea name="ThumbTrackArea">
            <Area>
                <Dim type="LeftEdge" ><AbsoluteDim value="0" /></Dim>
                <Dim type="TopEdge" ><WidgetDim widget="__auto_decbtn__" dimension="BottomEdge" /></Dim>
                <Dim type="RightEdge" ><UnifiedDim scale="1.0" type="RightEdge" /></Dim>
                <Dim type="BottomEdge" >
                    <UnifiedDim scale="1.0" type="BottomEdge">
                        <DimOperator op="Subtract">
                            <WidgetDim widget="__auto_incbtn__" dimension="Height" />
                        </DimOperator>
                    </UnifiedDim>
                </Dim>
            </Area>
        </NamedArea>
        <Child  type="Vanilla/Button" nameSuffix="__auto_incbtn__">
            <Area>
                <Dim type="LeftEdge" ><AbsoluteDim value="0" /></Dim>
                <Dim type="TopEdge" ><AbsoluteDim value="0" /></Dim>
                <Dim type="Width" ><UnifiedDim scale="1" type="Width" /></Dim>
                <Dim type="Height" ><UnifiedDim scale="1" type="Width" /></Dim>
            </Area>
            <VertAlignment type="BottomAligned" />
            <HorzAlignment type="CentreAligned" />
            <Property name="UseStandardImagery" value="False" />
            <Property name="NormalImage" value="set:Vanilla-Images image:ScrollDownArrow" />
            <Property name="HoverImage" value="set:Vanilla-Images image:ScrollDownArrow" />
            <Property name="PushedImage" value="set:Vanilla-Images image:ScrollDownArrow" />
        </Child>
...

At the bottom of the snippet here, you can see where these properties are attempted to be set.

With regards to getting this fixed properly, I should get to it over the coming weekend, unless something else comes up in the mean time

Thanks for your answer

BTW, I think Vanilla theme is good amongs those themes come with the layout editor.
But it lacks many widgets, and I think it just like a semi-product.
So I hope that it will have as many widgets as TaharezLook theme one day in the near future.

[CrazyEddie]

Yeah, it would be good to add support for some more widget types in the Vanilla skin at some stage.
