Dave,Oh and while I remember have you had any problems with importing Graphics as background images ?
I find that if I import a 1024x768 image onto 1024x768 screen then the bottom of the screen is missing.
You need to be much more specific than that. Is this happening in MACH or in the editor?
MACH does some very nasty things regarding screen size and item scaling. I still need to sort
this out with Art, but not until this editor is ready to roll.
Preview ModeI just finished coding the basic preview mode for my new editor.
The editor now has a preview mode, that lets you better see your screen
as it should look in MACH. The preview window will automatically size to the
correct screen size.
Additionally, some items in preview mode will be fully interactive.
ie Buttons will press, LEDs will light. This is will
also work for buttons that are tied to LEDs.
LEDSThe editor will let you use your own bitmaps for these.
Furthermore, optionally, the editor will automatically
merge them with the screen background if necessary.
This is very usefull when the LED images you add are non rectangular.
Item SelectionIn the existing editor, you need to completely surround
all items you want to select when selecting multiple items.
You no longer have to do this.
The selection box will now select all items that intersect with the box.
This will make selecting multiple items a lot less hassle on a densly populated screen.
