VCP image problem

Post by Emzy cnc »

Hallo
I love how i can modify buttons and move them anywhere and manual helps very much .
I have just one problem with my image ive drew. Problem is same as in trubleshooting page of manual , where VCP wont show up because of svg image.
Some buttons i did modify ( change colour and move feature around ) but soonest i draw new button , it wont work for me ...
what is wrong with this button ?
Ive uploaded button to google drive if somebody wants to take a look ...

Click on his image. It opens the google drive .svg. You can then download it yourself, etc.

Seems like it should work just fine. 100x100. I opened it in Inkscape to check it out.

A couple of points.....

- the button folder name (inside the buttons folder), image name (svg file) and xml file all have to be EXACTLY the same name.
- is the image name spelled correctly in the skin xml file?
- when you saved the image did you convert it to outlines? (I use Adobe Illustrator and have to "save as outlines" in order for it to show up

What program are you using to create the button? (not that it should matter)

Let us know if any of this helped.

ahhh! thanks...

ok i opened the .svg and the first thing i noticed is that there are a million layers full of elements that are not being used. ok maybe not a million but a bunch of them. delete all the ones you don't need to eliminate problems that they are causing.

Thank you guys, yes spelling is correct, as i did just copy and paste to be sure.
