Images
From ISBoxer
Click Bars and Menus support the use of Images for making pretty interfaces. An Image Set an be defined to quickly and easily share Images with others.
Images have a few different properties:
- Filename
- The image file to use. The image filename can be intentionally blank in order to produce a solid color, in combination with the "Mask with color" option.
- Transparency color
- If given, this color will be used as the transparency "color key", meaning that any pixel in the image with this exact color will instead be transparent
- Mask with color
- If given, this color will be used to mask the image. For example, the Default Image Set uses multiple Images with the same Filename, masking some with the color FF333333 for a darkening effect when a button is pressed.
- Border size (inside image)
- If given, this will be used to separate any border area of the image, from the content/non-border area of the image, for scaling purposes. A Click Bar Button or Menu Button with a defined border will automatically use the image's border area.
- Crop area
- If given, this will crop the defined Image to only use a portion of the image file. This is useful for defining many different Images within the same image file.
