JaredH: Statusbar in MC 11
« on: February 15, 2005, 12:16:16 pm »

Oh when, oh when will I ever get an answer as to why MC is forcing all the text in the "Status Bar" at the bottom to be centered regardless of the settings in the skin's XML file?

Is no one else experiencing this, or is it just that everyone is and I'm the only one who cares. If that's the case, tell me and I'll shut up.

Jared, we now always center the text.

I don't think the skin previously had an alignment field.  (although skins with no background did get right-aligned text)

Is this a big deal on some skins?  If so, which ones?

Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply, Matt. I never think to look at the user info since it rarely changes so sometimes I miss my messages.

I think its important for some certain skins, however, the only one in particular that I can think of is my own personal skin that I made. I know its probably just me being picky, but the skin I made gives MC a Classic Explorer based look. I'm so used to looking to the bottom right corner for all of my status information. Plus, cosmetically, I feel it looks much better.

Is there possibly any command that I could insert into my XML file so that it shifts it to the right? Or is it something you guys have to do on the programming end of things. If that's the case, and im sure this is a moot point if it is, don't worry about it on my account. It's not worth the hassle.

In the next build of MC, you can change the TextAlignment to whatever you like.

Main.xml:

<TOOLBARS>
   <Entry Name="StatusBar" TextColor="000000" TextAlignment="2" />
</TOOLBARS>

0: Left
1: Center
2: Right

Hope that helps.
