| [18:10:15] | confuzed: | Can anyone give help me tweak a theme? |
| [18:11:19] | confuzed: | I am curious if there is any way to do "dynamic" areas that adjust to fit their content. |
| [18:26:32] | sphery: | you mean like using percentage sizes for elements contained within others? If so, see, for example, Terra's base.xml and the definitions for stuff like basetextedit. |
| [18:27:29] | sphery: | allows you to inherit from basetextedit, but adjust size of the "outside" textedit, and the inside still fits/lines up. |
| [18:27:53] | confuzed: | I am editing Terra as a matter of fact. I am trying to figure out a way to make the clock at the bottom right align to the bottom right, but allow the time to get longer/shorter (IE use h:mm ap) |
| [18:28:51] | confuzed: | so essentially I would need two areas that grow according to their content. The time area, and an area that contains it and the date area. |
| [18:29:10] | confuzed: | not sure if that makes sense? |
| [18:29:27] | sphery: | don't know if that's possible. I know the "issue" was brought up before and many minds--far smarter than mine--didn't come up with a way to make it work, so the theme author changed the date/time to specify the formats that the theme was designed to work with |
| [18:30:42] | confuzed: | I know I can just make the area larger and the time fits... but I get a gap after the time. I can live with it, but I understand why the developer chose to use a fixed 24hr clock so that it could be kept to the right. |
| [18:30:51] | sphery: | confuzed: best I can do is link you to previous discussion. See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/435232#435232 and the linked tickets/changesets/etc. |
| [18:33:15] | confuzed: | sphery, Thanks. I am just doing this as an exercise to start learning theme development... I eventually want to do a theme based on Terra that suits my tastes a bit better. |
| [18:34:51] | sphery: | (Sorry, I'm not a themer, but am hoping to help get some people interested in working together to make new themes--and feel I may need to know a bit about theming to help get the ball rolling--so I figured I'd try to pay more attention in here. Anyway, if you're interested in theming, keep an eye out for the "Theme Teams" e-mail I should be sending to the lists sometime in the next couple of days.) |
| [18:40:29] | confuzed: | sphery, Ironically... I am the one that Rob came out of the woodwork to put in his place in that thread. So I know that thread intimately. |
| [18:42:36] | confuzed: | seems odd that there is no way to do "stacking" of areas and dynamic sized areas... I would have assumed that it would be there somewhere. In fact, it seems that I have seen them used, though perhaps they used different widgets than I can use here. |
| [18:43:09] | sphery: | Heh, well sorry if it brought back bad memories, but I'm glad to see you're getting involved. Good luck with your learning and theming. |

| [20:07:23] | stuartm: | confuzed: what you want isn't possible, although you might get close using the <group> widget to encapsulate the date/time textareas and the collapse to content option to the textareas |
| [22:55:20] | confuzed: | stuartm, I think that's what I am missing... the collapse to content... I don't see it anywhere in the Wiki |
