Any interest in an overlay tutorial?
Hey I am thinking about making a simple "helloworld" overlay tutorial, is there any interest in this?
I finally figured out how to get options to popup on the overlay, and want to share this new found knowledge with the world ![]() -Brett

The more tutorials the better, perhaps even a forum of there own so they don't get lost!

Re: Any interest in an overlay tutorial?
Ok, while I haven't actually written a tutorial here is the extremely
well documented code for an overlay. Basically if I were going to have a tutorial I would mention that in plugins.xml you need to define the object under PluginInfo.Overlays and make sure you define it exactly as I did. The dimensions you assign here are those that are used for the plugin. Under the skin xml you do NOT define a width and height, and the background you define is used for the popup background so make it like a menu background or something. The X,Y values are relative to the popup NOT to the screen. This code is an "Advance" popup notification that includes option list buttons. When installed the popup will toggle from off to on every 5 seconds. DOWNLOAD HERE -Brett
