[04:54:12] mag0o: so, with http://pastebin.com/duvAaDYs – how come my text input doesn't have a different colored background when it's selected, active or inactive? See http://mythlite.lynchmv.com/MythTextInputDialog.png
[05:00:14] iamlindoro: Why are you giving the window an area?
[05:00:31] iamlindoro: I daresay your issue is that you are doing a percentage of a percentage of a percentage
[05:01:16] mag0o: does it not need an area?
[05:01:22] iamlindoro: no
[05:01:37] iamlindoro: not unless it's different from the theme dimensions
[05:01:46] iamlindoro: which it's not
[05:01:55] mag0o: ah
[05:02:05] iamlindoro: but here you're essentially short-circuiting the theme dimensions with a percentage, which is relative to nothing
[05:02:30] iamlindoro: percentages are relative to their parent widget
[05:02:55] iamlindoro: anyway, that's my guess from looking at it
[05:03:05] iamlindoro: that is, my guess is that your problem is your areas
[05:03:18] iamlindoro: The thing about percentages being relative to the parent is fact
[05:03:51] mag0o: so, since the window doesn't get an area if its the same as the parent, then it will be as big as the parent?
[05:04:14] iamlindoro: the window doesn't get an area if it's the full resolution
[05:04:33] mag0o: and, for example, does that msgbg have a correct area, using the percentage?
[05:05:02] mag0o: correct, syntax wise
[05:05:07] mag0o: or inherit-wise
[05:05:18] iamlindoro: you're also doing something funky that totals > 100%
[05:05:25] iamlindoro: <area>10%,375,95%,50</area>
[05:05:41] iamlindoro: There's all sorts of logical errors in here, it's tough to know which is the issue
[05:05:56] mag0o: ooo, didn't catch that
[05:06:32] mag0o: ok, let me go over it again and see what I can do
[05:13:59] mag0o: This is why i used the > 100% total with that area. http://mythlite.lynchmv.com/textinput2.png shows that the area isn't centered when used as <area>10%,375,80%,50</area> My original thinking was that there wold be 10% to the left, the textedit would take up 80% then the leftover 10% would be on the right, however that doesn't look like it happened
[05:14:15] mag0o: perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
[05:25:31] mag0o: ok, so computing 10% and 80% of my area works better than just specifying the percent
[05:25:44] mag0o: now, i need to see if the textedit bg changes
[05:27:35] mag0o: so, how's this look, xml-wise? http://pastebin.com/bViGbzPc
[05:53:10] mag0o: got it!
[05:53:19] mag0o: thanks for the shove in the right direction iamlindoro
