Image Map

Post by Sheeba46 »

Hi,
As Newby here, I have what is a frustrating issue.
I can get images to work on skins
BUT
I cannot get am Image Map to work?
I thought the Rainmeter coding would still be the same as an image....is that correct?

Thanks

I'm not sure I follow your question.

Rainmeter is not HTML/CSS, and there is no "image map" functionality to map hotspots to areas of an image.

In order to create something like the functionality of the <map> tag in HTML, you would need to first have an Image meter to display the image, then separate Shape meters to size and position invisible "hot spots" on the image, on which you would put the various mouse actions or tooltips.

Thanks for your input. I used Gimp to create the image map and thought I could then include it in making Rainmeter theme.
