Tonto/Panel Laout Question

[mihooper]

Somehow I've managed to (accidentally) convert my CCF from a TSU6000 format to an RC9200 format (yes...I've abused the freedom that Stewart of Tonto fame has given me...;). This seems to cause the main background frame and all buttons to be pushed to the bottom of the panel. When NetRemote loads the CCF the lower portion of the panel is underneath the Footer image. I have played around with several skins but can't seem to get my panels back to a suitable layout.

Question: Can I re-convert back to my original TSU6000 format? I have tried to use the Convert/Type utility in Tonto 1.43, but it just chops off the bottom of the panel taking half of my lower buttons with it? I would like to slide everything up, and then chop off the bottom. Looks like the original conversion added pixels to the top of the panel, but the conversion removes from the bottom.

Any suggestions?

Here's what the truncated panel looks like...

Ok...well, I've been able to answer my own question. Looks like there are several ways to fix this problem.

1) Tonto has a "select all" under Edit that allows you to slide all buttons/frames within the panel. Just select all then up/down arrow to move everything.

2) Modify the skin.ini file to reposition the panel so that the header and footer don't cover it up. I was able to tweak a skin.ini file so that the CCF loaded under to header.

HeaderImage=devicehead.bmp,0,0,240,61
FooterImage=buttons.bmp,0,299,240,320
CCF=0,20,240,302

Anyway, the buttons are now all visible... :D

Great Mike. I'm glad you got it worked out.

Also remember than the CUSTOM version is the best version going forward, as it allows the new "skin" styles as well as different X and Y resolutions.
