how to use TaharezLook/StaticImage

[syngen101]

Hi,

I am using the TaharezLook/Button to create buttons but I wanted to have an image on the button. I thought of using TaharezLook/StaticImage and add it to the button. I was just wondering how to reference the image needed for the button.

Hi,

adding an image onto a button is a little overkill, instead use the TaharezLook/ImageButton directly, which has the following four properties to set:
NormalImage, HoverImage, PushedImage, DisabledImage.

I was just wondering how to reference the image needed for the button.

What do you mean? How to set images? An image is a combination of a set and an image inside it. For example:

Code: Select all

icon->setProperty("NormalImage", "set:TaharezLook image:MouseArrow");


HTH.

Hi,

I was wondering how I create an ImageButton directly, I have been looking at the TarahezLook files (LookNFeel, Imageset), and the gui default sheet .layout file and I was wondering which I have to add to and how to add to them, to create an ImageButton.

Sorry I have never coded in XML before. Any help would be appreciated, also is there a link to an example of how to implement these buttons as im sure this has been done before.

Thank you in advance

Thanks for that I dont believe I didnt find that page on the website from my searches ><.

I was also wondering what programs can be used to make the image file (whether it be .png or .tga), I am currently trying to use Gimp but am finding it hard to add more then one item to a file with a 'empty' (not white) background.

Cheers for the help

Hi,

when you create a new image in Gimp, with Advanced Options choose Transparent background.

Also, make sure that you leave a few pixels of space between your sub-images, to avoid 'bleeding' on some combinations of videocard/driver and such.
