almulder Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 (edited) I got the png working using this methodhttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=76356and then turned on "Use Transitons" in the options wizard. It produced this effect with the PNG Click For Large ImageBut when not using "Use Transitons" the PNG looks fineBut when not using the PNG fix and using the "Use Transitons" the PNG has the gray background again.And when not using the PNG fix and not using the "Use Transitons" the PNG has the gray background again.Any thought on how to fix this.- Albert Edited June 21, 2006 by almulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadicq Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 (edited) The png fix is not the problem for that. Just tested it and it works fine (well a little bit weird with the fade in though ..., but not the problem you're talking about).I'll look into the timer replacement code ...Edit: No, that is not the problem. I think something else is interacting with your code ...Seems like I can't solve this one... anyway for me the problem appears only for half a second ...

mritter Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 The way the png fix works is by using the spacer.gif, which is just a transparent 1x1 image, and fills in around the png outline to make a box. Essentially it is doing it's job correctly. The tips background is more the problem, not the png or png fix. The background is not "solid" enough and becomes see through.Try putting a solid color image as the background then try the png image on top of it. This might give it some substance.

almulder Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 same effect still happens when using a solid color background. Can you reproduce this problem? or is it something I might have did wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadicq Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Yes .. I get the same effect while the fade in takes place ... after that finishes, everything comes back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadicq Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 (edited) Ok. found the problem. You have a value of 2 for the ShadowType. That is the only thing wrong there ... try it and post back Edited June 21, 2006 by sadicq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almulder Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 removed the value shadow type and still nothing changes (Well I don't have a shadow and more.)A value "2" and "1" are both good values for shadows (FYI) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadicq Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Silly me. Remove the transparency too (put "" instead of 99). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almulder Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Ok so no shaddow and no transparency are alowed when using png's? That sucks! Is there no way to get around this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadicq Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 IMO, the whole tips.js should be rewritten from scratch. It is really messy and the way it is loaded makes WPI much slower! And I really mean that. Attach a debugger to WPI and see for yourself how the tips are working ... Not to say about the browser compatibilty checks in it ... . I won't cry about pngs and tranparency problems ... but the performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almulder Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 tested the problem in IE7 - Well alteast MS fixed that problem.Anyone want to redo tips.js? (Maybe even fix the shadow and transperancy issues with png's)Let me know if this gets started. (Any changes to tips might make me need to redo tooltips theme editor that I am making, but easy to fix.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mritter Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) When I try it, during the transition, the area around the png is transparent:When transition is done, then the transparent area gets filled in:So for me it works.

almulder Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 even with shadow and transperancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mritter Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Nope, not with transparency. I wouldn't let it get you down. I would never use transparent tips; no reason to. If I absolutely had to, I would just convert the png to a jpg and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
