Quick Weather Panel Question

PocketChange · #1 (**permalink**) 12-30-2006, 07:47 PM

Does anyone know????

I'm working on a WP skin, and it will need to have buttons for 4-5 "child windows"

Problem is, I only can get 3 to work!

I know it isn't my .wpx files, because if I swap the text around, they all work!

Anyone know if 3 child windows is the limit, and/or anyway to get around it?

I have a sweet skin going, and this is killing me....

I would post this question on the www.weatherpanel.net forum. I personally haven't developed a new theme that uses child windows. I've modified some that do (like Stealth-240) but they don't use more that three...

Thanks guys... I found the solution! Seems I had to separate the Image, from the ;Window code, and add a #VOID# instead:

;IMAGE
Graph1.png
8,196,32,32

;WINDOW-0
8,196,32,32
#VOID#
Graph_HrTemp.wpx
74,159,92,54
CHILD

Not sure why this made such a difference, but now have 7 "children" playing nicely....

Well, I don't just want to get a sneak peek, let's share it.

No problem with a peek for now, and sharing when I'm done, but I have to get permission from the backgrounds owner, as it is ported from a popular DeskTopX skin!

I'll put a screenie together shortly, and post....

Ok, here you go. This is part of a WAD skin that I call "MyDen"

Lots to go yet, and as I've said, need to get permission to release the background pic...

Sorry, but this is only VGA (480x640)...... Hope you like it!
