Title: layout help
Post by: Stuart Murray on November 12, 2011, 09:46:22 AM
Hi all,

I have been editing the UK Casino layout to include a background, as I'm getting rather bored of plain colours on my tourney screens.  I override all background colours and remove the picture from the middle which is the red centre piece, but have no way of making a black background for the blinds, ante, prize money text and today's prizes text, I could also do with filling the clock with a red background along with the Next Increase Text with black and Blinds text with black.

Anyone any idea??

Stu

Are you taking solid color or somewhat transparent

solid colours timmer, but the problem I don't know to navigate round is that I have the turn off all background colours (make them transparant) to bring the background through

is there a background code to just make a cell background transparent?

YES, WHERE YOU CHANGE COLOR, JUST TYPE IN TRANSPARENT  ( edit background color )

Try putting the pic in, the outer Colunm of your layout not in the  Properties background.

Alternatively you might have made the background color of the column transparent.  Looks like you got it done regardless.

turned out I had 1 columb that I had missed, both ways works as the background or as the master columb background, learned a lot today sorting the layout to carry a picture, thanks for the responses!
