my theme howzit pro (look here http://www.litestep.net/index.php?section=2&action=details&id=185 its not the newest version as it doesn't have any IF statements for rez's)i have been working on for awhile.
right now i have the setting for each rez in IF statements.
i have multiple label that need to be resize for each rez and static sized images. all need repostioning. i can't figure out how to do it with out IF statements

Yes, resizing/repositioning stuff with IF statements (I mean rc If...Else...EndIf) should be tricky, and a hard-working tasks... Better use mzScript, but I can't give you example since I don't know exactly what you wanna do.

What do you mean about "static sized images" ?
Do you mean shortcut like - non resizable - images ?
In that case, my solution (there can be other, of course) is to make one image for each resolution, and call them:
- name640.png
- name800.png
- name1024.png
- ...

Then, simply load them with something like:

Of course, it will give headaches to multimonitor users

well, you can also use fancy evar math... for example:

would give you a label that is half the width of the screen.
also, be sure to use negative coordinates for stuff that should be on the bottom/right edges of the screen. there are very few things that actually need if statements for resolutions; they should be avoided if possible because of the problems they cause with nonstandard resolutions and multimonitor users

Smurth: i mean that the images are the same size at any rez and not like you have sugggested and image for each rez.

2 end caps total 40px width
4 label seperator 52px width
4 labels + 1 lsmail ( not all the same size)to take up the rest of the screen

ohh, it took me some times to understand (thank to the screenshot); I'm really tired, this time...
LSMailWidth should be define first
2*40+4*52 = 288

I know you said "not all the same size". Can you precise what you means ?

the labels range from 10-40% of resolutionX. which i'm now use to calulate

40 is the total width of the end caps
52 is the total width of the seperators (dots)

hence 92

triple post deleted

grr oops damn time out

I definitely don't understand what you mean. Sorry

hmm... ok
first off i have been trying to figure it how it do it and i convert all pixel sizes to percents of screen width

so the amplabel is about 10%
tasklabel is about 20%
lsmail about 10%
vwmlabel about 10%
w5label about 40%

leaving about 10% for the endcaps and dots

the problem is and different rez's the endcaps and dots take a great percent. At this point i look at any solution pix or percent or whatever

i hope this explained this well enough
if not i'll post again

I haven't used the math stuff before...but would something like this be possible? 20 being with given width for endcaps and dots.

x $resolutionX - 20$
AmpLabelX $x*.10$

yup Dev :d

If the ends look weird with percentual widths, then have the ends fixed-width. You could do just those with If-thens. Then you have $ResolutionX-(widthOfEverythingButTheLabels)$ leftover. Because of the roundoff errors with using percents, you should leave one of the labels to have a width as a function of the space for all labels ($resolutionx-allends$) minus the percentual widths of the rest of the labels. Go left to right to make it easier.

leftEndw 50
rightEndw 50
leftEndx 0
rightEndx $ResolutionX-rightEndw$

dotWidth 10

; two ends, three dots
labelSpace $ResolutionX-leftEndw-rightEndw-3*dotWidth$

labelAx $leftEndW$
labelAw $0.1*labelSpace$

dot1x $labelAx+labelAw$

labelBx $dot1x+dotWidth$
labelBw $0.2*labelSpace$

dot2x $labelBx+labelBw$

labelCx $dot2x+dotWidth$
labelCw $0.1*labelSpace$

dot3x $labelCx+labelCw$

labelDx $dot3x+dotWidth$
labelDw $labelSpace-(labelAw+labelBw+labelCw)$

untested, but looks like you can do something similar?

this looks like what i'm looking for. i'll try it as soon as i get the chance.

the sad thing is now that i see it. i go "i should of thought of that", i'm normally good with math. guess i'll never be a great themer, oh well i make them mostly for me anyway.

thanks

P.S. i think this should go in the code section at least tnl's reply
