Looks awesome!

Ebsolas 8 Dec, 2016 @ 1:48pm 
Yeah I just can't figure out how to get the left side any shorter so it runs off a bit.
#2
Squee  [developer] 8 Dec, 2016 @ 3:04pm 
What do you mean with runs off? Like away from the screen/camera so it has more depth?
#3
Ebsolas 8 Dec, 2016 @ 3:07pm 
Like on the left side the VU Meter continues past the edge of the Glacier

Squee  [developer] 8 Dec, 2016 @ 6:27pm 
Now that you mention it, something weird is going on. Your X values for the left side are 0, so it should at least extend to the edge of the screen. Will look into it this weekend.

did exactly everything but did not exactly turn out properly

I noticed what happened with the left side. You have the left ( and also ) right margin set to the max. Though for some reason the right margin doesn't show in the screenshot. The margins were mostly to offset the wallpaper easily to avoid it going behind a taskbar, but best to leave them at 0 if you going to play with positions anyway.

For me the positions seem a little off too, but easily correctable. The 540 does seem weird as the bottom is almost horizontal so both Y values should be nearly the same.

The right margin was just used in order to set the right side back onto the screen since when adjusting the position of the VU Meter it was off the screen.

Also the 540 was used in conjunction with the 418 in order to 'raise' the bar off of the bottom onto the glacier and give it slight depth since using the bottom margin can't raise it that high.

I've noticed that sometimes the calculations freak out and you have to take each of the positions and move them off of and back onto 0 for it to read correctly.

Oh and a final reqeust. Can you put a 'users guide' on how to use the positioning tool or at least explaining the functions of each slider there. It's a little tricky figuring out exactly what does what.

I can try, It's certainly not that user friendly, but I never was good as creating UI's that were friendly, they were always stuck at "functional". But until I have something ......

Its the offset from the corners ( basically in the direction of the center of the screen if you raise both x and y for a corner ). You could see it as raising them is bringing them closer to the opposite side of the screen. So for any "right" sided one, raising the X would move it to the left. For any bottom ones, raising Y would move it to the top. For the top ones it moves the Y to the bottom and for the left it move the X to the right. Maxing them out would reverse all corners. But I will see if I can make a picture.

I will see if i can make an images the clearifies it a bit more and post it somewhere.

Added a post for positioning, and added it in the description too. Created a image to try and explain it, see if that clearify things.

I will have to look into the jumping of the values too. I do remember seeing it once or twice, but haven't played with the VU meter in a while so would have to check it out some free moment.
