I'm trying to resize the center image for this layout:

Here is my code so far:

<!--Background-->
<Image x="0" y="0" image="normal.topleft" lefttop="lefttop" rightbottom="lefttop" action="move"/>
<Image x="143" y="0" image="normal.top" lefttop="lefttop" rightbottom="righttop" action="move" resize="scale"/>
<Image x="143" y="0" image="normal.topright" lefttop="righttop" rightbottom="righttop" action="move"/>

<Image x="0" y="100" image="normal.left" lefttop="lefttop" rightbottom="leftbottom" action="move" resize="scale"/>
<Image x="6" y="100" image="normal.center" lefttop="lefttop" rightbottom="rightbottom" action="move" resize="scale"/>
<Image x="311" y="100" image="normal.right" lefttop="righttop" rightbottom="rightbottom" action="resizeE" resize="scale"/>

<Image x="0" y="100" image="normal.bottomleft" lefttop="leftbottom" rightbottom="leftbottom" action="move"/>
<Image x="157" y="100" image="normal.bottom" lefttop="leftbottom" rightbottom="rightbottom" action="resizeS" resize="scale"/>
<Image x="157" y="100" image="normal.bottomright" lefttop="rightbottom" rightbottom="rightbottom" action="resizeSE"/>

Now my problem is that the "normal.center" image stretch width is equal to the width between the topleft & topright and not the left & right.
Is there anyway I can correct this?

I'm used to Winamp Skinning where you can just set x/y and w/h of the image so its very easier

Here is how it looks atm:

The source image CANT be changed since this will brake the whole project of converting Winamp ClassicPro skins to VLC

Thanks for any help!

Ok made some progress with this.

This is how the code should look for image="normal.center":

Code: Select all

<Image x="6" y="100" width="305" height="0" image="normal.center" lefttop="lefttop" rightbottom="rightbottom" resize="mosaic"/>

But VLC dont use the width="305" height="0" params on the image! Tested the above by changing the <image to <video and its works perfectly.

So is this a VLC bug?

Here is a link of a bunch of ClassicPro skins for Winamp:

The idea is that these will just work in vlc when the project is finished.

This is probably a VLC/skin bug. I'll ask ipkiss to look at it.

That is not a bug, it's a missing feature.
Skins2 does not support setting width and height attributes to images. By default they always appear in the resolution of the associated bitmap resource.

You could try doing a SubBitmap of the source file with the given width/height. But that would only work for those images that are designed in a way that when resizing they can be repeated.

Thx for the info

Cant change the source image. Hope the width & height param can be implemented in the future. Other objects already resize correct and images can be resized so all the tec is there... just needs to be implemented

VLC skinning is really very easy and VLC still opens just as fast so really hope that the skins engine development will get some attention
