TitleWriter 4.72 - *** Update 31 July 2008, ***

[jinjin_jp]

Thanks for Testbed6_15 TW 4.33.

What is the purpose of "Recoｌor Bitmap Resource" ?
I thought it to change colors of buttons of bitmap.
But when checking it (and not checking ""Use Text for ... Buttons"), buttons are invisible.

Regards.

I now have multiple folders containing different .bmp resources
-- Hence Use Buttons in Folder
If I want to use "buttons" instead of text I uncheck Use text for ---

I thought it to change colors of buttons of bitmap.

Quite Correct When checked it now blends bmps to system color
If I want those buttons used "As Is" I uncheck Recolor Bitmap resources
(if no bitmap is present in folder -- TW uses Text)

All possible states of checked and unchecked work fine here.

I can't create invisible buttons at all.

Crud -- that section didn't worry me --- it was did I foul up the view

What folder is the Use Buttons in Folder pointing to (Use the ...) if you haven't chanced it -- it should point to TW's>> ... tools\menufiles

And What is your System Color

Thanks for Testbed6_15 TW 4.33.

It is convenient to use multiple sets of bitmaps, such as a set of English bitmaps, a set of Japanese bitmaps, etc.

As long as I tried TestBed6_15, it worked well in Japan.
I can't create invisible buttons.

Tetsuro_ja Well -- Doesn't that throw a wrench in the works Jinjin_jp comes up with invisibles. And you and I can't.

So I'm gathering nothings clipped or truncated In Japan.
I'm wondering if the blend mode is color sensitive (though I can't see any possible combination leading to 0);

Its possible he's using large size bmps (black background) and when I squish to cell size -- Not much is left (that would cause almost "invisible buttons" I think)

Hi, FA

nice version.

One suggestion if i can
it would be nice to be able to choose
by sliding through, the Menu button, Thumbnail image and Background image
in the same way that you use the image.
thanks.

A bug, maybe.
if I select Manually (by telling titlewriter what BMP to use) Menu button, Thumbnail image and Background image.
the Image of the Button menu does not show well, there is green all over it.(probably the highlight)

As to the menu button -- No not a bug -- HARD black 0,0,0 is the transparant color --pixels with color value> 3 will be colored
pixels <= will be set to transparant color (0,0,0)

As to your suggestion -- Sorry -- Not a clue what you are asking for

[dirio49]

having a slide for the things that we can change.
Menu button, Thumbnail image and Background image same as we change the thumbnail.
and the ability to set them separative for each other , a way change them seperatively with a slide. without having to use BMP

What is the purpose of "Recoｌor Bitmap Resource" ?
I thought it to change colors of buttons of bitmap.
But when checking it (and not checking ""Use Text for ... Buttons"), buttons are invisible.

I found the reason.
When setting Resource Color as "black", buttons are invisible. Other colors don't seem to have the problem.

I remember the similar problem.
In ver.4.12, when setting Selected and Highlight Color as "black", buttons are not created.

It was solved in next release in by popup of warning.
These seem to be common problem.

@FA, my problem only happens if I use BMP.
if I just the the normal preview to chose the button all is good

somehow if i use the preview there is a frame around the button that take the highlight, but it I chose the BMP was the frame is not there and the highlight goes all over the button

Oh you want to see what you select aside from the thumbnail content. Now I get it.

Something like
Display: Background ( ) Thumbnail( ) Menu Button(x)


Glanced at your screenshot. Did you use a full image as a Frame/Button.
Not the best choice (So much black most of it was transparant --see my last post).

and the ability to set them separative for each other

You can select any frame,thumb for any individual movie now

JinJin_jp -- I fixed that by not allowing colors under 25 to be selected as black And removed the warning -- it doesn't happen here even when I select Black 0,0,0 as resource color.

Yeah, you got that right, that is my suggestion.
would it be possible

yeah, used a full image for the button

[tetsuro_ja]

Hi, FA.

Can you design TW so that text strings of text buttons can be changed, for example, to Japanese text strings ?
I want to use text buttons rather than bitmap buttons.
However, text strings are not changeable.

[FallenAngel]

Dirio_49 Yes -- I See the Need

Tetsuro -- Let me think about it - Many ways to implement it

JinJin_jp -- I fixed that by not allowing colors under 25 to be selected as black And removed the warning -- it doesn't happen here even when I select Black 0,0,0 as resource color.

It seems to be strange. It seems to be different in me.
I can't select "black" as Selected and Highlight Color in any font size (even over 25), and there is warning popup.
But I can select "black" as Resource Color in any font size (over and under 25).
The results is like below.
*left : not check "Recoｌor Bitmap Resource"
*center : check "Recoｌor Bitmap Resource" and select "black"
*right : check "Recoｌor Bitmap Resource" and select "red"

Thank you for your consideration.

I can now create invisible buttons as jinjin_jp said.
I think the bitmap color is strange compared with TW 4.32.
For example, the bitmp color is not changed to white in the following condition:
Overall System Text/Resource Color -- white
Recolor Bitmap Resources -- checked
