Can't get xpaintclass group settings to work properly Thread last updated on 2006-09-01 09:51:55

xPopupAddToGroup maingroup
xPopupActiveEntryAddToGroup

...

mainGroupPaintingMode ".multicolor"
maingroupcolors ffffff
maingroupalphatransparency 200
maingroupcustomalphafade 20 0

activegrouppaintingmode ".multicolor"
activegroupcolors ff0000
activegroupgradientcolors 00ff00
activegroupgradienttype ".vertical"


The popup background displays, but nothing for the active entry. Replacing "activegroup" with "xPopupactiveentry" makes it display properly. Am I forgetting something in my group settings?

xpopup-2.0, xpaintclass-1.0-RC4

1. Your code just says: "xPopupActiveEntryAddToGroup" you need "activegroup" added to that. Just making sure ;)
2. The "PaintingMode" setting cant be inherited.
3. AddToGroup has changed. From the docs:
TextureAddToGroup GROUP GROUP1 GROUP2 ...
Add the xPaintTexture Class to the specified Group.
Overrides the Module internal AddToGroup, if available.
The first GROUP supports the AddToGroup setting the following not!

FontAddToGroup GROUP GROUP1 GROUP2 ...
Add the xPaintText Class to the specified Group.
Overrides the Module internal AddToGroup, if available.
The first GROUP supports the AddToGroup setting the following not!

IconAddToGroup GROUP GROUP1 GROUP2 ...
Add the xPaintIcon Class to the specified Group.
Overrides the Module internal AddToGroup, if available.
The first GROUP supports the AddToGroup setting the following not!

etc

Its very complicated ;)

Its basically just super optimised for resource usage efficiency (so only the needed code parts are used)

I hope there will be an "Updating your themes to xPaintclass" guide eventually... or is there one already?

Upgrade guide

@Fractal:

I'm not having any problems making the popup background inherit paintingmode settings. I don't quite understand how the new addToGroup has changed. I'm just replacing the "Texture" prefix with "XPopupActiveEntry" like it says to do in the docs.

Are you sure you dont have a:
GlobalPaintingMode .multicolor
set?

Maybe its changed recently...

And I am not sure about xPopup but I set xTaskbar like this:
xTaskbarActiveButtonTextureAddToGroup GSPressed
xTaskbarActiveFontAddToGroup GSPressed
xTaskbarActiveIconAddToGroup GSPressed


simply using:
xTaskbarActiveAddToGroup GSPressed
doesnt work

OK, I just tested it with xPopup and I am getting weird results (like it doesnt work) not a 100% this is xPopup or xPaintclass just yet.

Works like a charm - thanks. The only thing I can't get working is the dropshadow.

youll need to turn the menu shadowing effect on in Display properties/appearance/effects "Show shadows under menu's" ;)

Weird...I could have sworn it was on....

Thanks for the help.
