Creating your own user interface with PicturePlayer Skin Compiler

The buttons

3 image files in bmp format need to be created for each button. One for the button's resting status, one for its mouse-over status and one for its clicked status.

Example:
Resting status Mouse-over status Clicked status

Tip: You can create a 3D effect for your button when it is clicked by shifting the icon of the button representing clicked status one pixel row to the right and one pixel row downwards.


You will have to create the following buttons:
Go to first image
Back
Stop
Next
Go to last image
Loudspeakers on
Loudspeakers off
Open info window
Minimize Player window
Open pop-up menu
Close Player

Click on the button you would like to edit in the main dialoge window. This opens another dialog window into which you can set the parameters of the button.

Tip:
Please use the following naming convention:
All three image files need to have the same name with the following suffix:
Use suffix "_i" (i = idle) for the resting status image
Use "_f" (f = focus) for the mouse-over status image
Use suffix "_d" (d = down) for the clicked status image

Example: but_stop_i.bmp; but_stop_f.bmp; but_stop_d.bmp

By doing this you will save time because you will not have to enter all the button image files. This is because the button dialog will automatically search for image files with the same name once the image file for resting status has been entered.

Please use the positioning dialog window for setting button positions. (Button "upper left position...")

You might also want to use the "Button Alignment" dialog window to set the positions of all the buttons. All you will have to do is set the position on one button and the desired spacing between the rest.
