|
|
Hello Doc,
I was trying my hand with the console design for the current version (yes I know that the interface will probably be completelly different with the new release)... anyways, I thought I might come up with a cool console for my club and register again just to use that
So I spend about 3 hours changing things this way and that until I was happy... I save everything and come back an hour later to find out you can't load consoles on the unregistred version (DOH!)
Anyways, I did experience a slight bug, maybe you know about it and it is already corrected for the next version, but I wanted to give you the heads up anyhow.
I did not want dogs playing poker as my background image... after trying a few things, I decided that 3 of the wallpapers for WinXP would do a great job along with semi-tranparent displays: Vortex, Crystal and can't remember the 3rd one. Anyways... when I imported them, the console would have a white strip at the top, as if the ratio of the image was wrong and the console placed a white band there. So I fired up Photoshop and changed the size of the image several times... the white band would change thickness but never dispear. The closest I came to having no band was with an image size of 700 X 480 I think (really not sure).
Well that's about it. Not sure what is causing the issue. |
