[REL] Brand New RE-Design / Field Variations I

[spacekris]

heyo,

like ant posted in this thread you can play around with the language txt-file to re-design the fields in size and/or position.

the original design:



the brandnew design:



this is a good design also for the people who have a lot of files on the HD.
you see all the necessary specs in one row.

so if you want this baby too, it is easy:

[1] choose from the tools menu the english language, not the default one.

[2] in the ant catalog directory/languages/ open the English.lng into a text editor and replace all the text between

Code: Select all

;**********
;* Frames *
;**********
[TMovieFrame]

and

Code: Select all

[TFieldsFrame]

with my text.

[3] save it ant restart.

[4] if you want to hide the titlebar of the picture insert ToolbarPictureWindow.ShowCaption=0 under [main window].

in case you wonder:
i changed some titles like "translated title" is just "title".
the "cover" is the caption got from "borrower" and the borrower field is the one underneath the picture without caption.
the "source" in the picture is actually the "media type" because i rip a lot .
the disks field i completely hid as i dont need it.
but of course you could configure everything by yourself very easily.

thanks for listening .

I Done what you said, but my layout stays the same.

I changed english.lng, and choose English (For translations) in the Language menu.

I c/p everything what was in "code" between those 2 fields.

[spacekris]

did you just c/p or did you replace all what is in between?

[frenchfrog_2]

Hello spacekris,
Do you know what code we can use to position the field, other than left, width...
I try to move the field "Audio format" to have it next to the field "Country", using the ".top" option, but when I change the size of the windows, this field move as well, it seems like is following the fields "Description" and "Comments".
Is there a way to fix an absolute position of the field "Audio format".
Like in a CSS file.
Thank you in advance.

[antp]

Some fields follow the bottom of the window: the fields that are below description are in that case.
Currently I think that it is not possible to change that behaviour through translation file, but I could maybe add that easily.

[frenchfrog_2]

Thank you antp,
Did I already told you that you have made a fantastic software ?
When you say that

I could maybe add that easily

does this mean in a next revision of the software or you you could do it before ?
Thanks in advance.

[antp]

Maybe in next beta version of 3.5.1( viewtopic.php?t=3325 )
I just have to check if it is easy to add in the translator engine or not.

[frenchfrog_2]

Thanks a lot antp.
Tell me as soon as you know, if it is not possible, I guess I could live with that field at the bottom of the page.

[elman]

Just tried this new layout with 3.5.1b2 and it's completely messed up

[antp]

Only problem that I see is that now labels are not transparent and a little higher. But I do not really have choice if I want them to appear when running in Windows Vista

[sagitaz]

what you do for hide the "/10" ?

and how you fix the picture form ?

thanks

en français

que fais tu pour cacher le "/10" ?
et comment fixe tu la fenetre de l'image ?

merci

[raistlin2k]

Hi!
Thanks for this skin, looks great, but I have some problems:
1. how does the cover work in the right??
2. how can I get rid of "/10" and "MB"??

Hope you can help me!
Thanks,
Raist

[antp]

/10 is the item named LRating10
MB is the item named LSizeUnit
So both can be moved outside the window (or set Visible=0, though that I think it does not work)

[Wotan]

didnt work for me...i use a higher resolution i assume than the author so some fields look funny lol can i edit something so the picture can doc to the bottom right instead of the bottom left?

[raistlin2k]

thanks antp for helping on the remaining text, it can be hidden with visible=0

So the only challenge is the cover to the right!
How does this work?
I removed some windows that I dont need, so placing the image to the right would be great, getting a longer movie list to the left!

Hope you can help,
Raist

[antp]

He just moved the picture window with the mouse I guess
You can move it like the toolbars actually.

[Eyael]

Well, I've just tried and it won't work. You can have the image where you want if you don't dock it but if you dock it you either have it in the movie list on the left or in anoter window on the right but not in the movie window like it did. Maybe he's added something to the langfile or modified the program? Please, let us know we're dying to find out...

[bad4u]

You can have the image where you want if you don't dock it but if you dock it ...

He simply did not dock it. Like antp said, he just moved the picture to this position and changed the lng file to hide the titlebar of the picture frame (see first posting: [4] if you want to hide the titlebar of the picture insert ToolbarPictureWindow.ShowCaption=0 under [main window]). The picture toolbar has been closed, too.

If you have a closer look on the screenshot from the first posting, you can see that the movie picture still has its own frame (best seen on the upper right corner) and on the bottom right corner it seems that he tried to hide the 'MB' for file sizes from the original style: You will notice that the field below the picture has been placed higher than the comments field and very close to the picture frame - but you can still see some parts of the letters 'MB' between picture and the field below.

[Eyael]

Ok, thanks, I just missed that point when I read his post. Silly me!

[Eyael]

Here's mine :



My screen resolution is 1024x768 but it won't work if your width of your list is not the same as mine. Also it must be full screen and I've docked the search bar. For those who'd like to try, here's the code (follow instructions from previous posts) :
