multiple image show on mouse over possible?

[balric]

I am creating my own launcher dock and I wanted the icon to display the icon name under the icon with mouse over. This I can do however as icon size is specified in ini the icon with text gets scrunched, so is it possible to link two images to a mouse over ? I thought of increasing the png size in ini to incorporate the text but this makes it messy as mouse over is enabled when your not on the image.

I just realised if possible I would need to specify location of second image in respect to the first image.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

To answer your question simply, yes you can both (multiple images on hover, relative positioning). I would like to take a look at your code though, to fully understand what you are trying to describe, because I'm don't right now.

If I understand you correctly, I gather that you want to have two images, one just an icon, and one an icon with some text under it? I'm not sure I would go that way, why not just have a String meter with the text that you show / hide on MouseOver?

Maybe if you can explain a little further exactly what you are trying to accomplish we can be sure we don't waste time with a solution that doesn't fit.

[home]
Meter=Image
ImageName=My_Computer.png
X=0
Y=10
W=100
H=100
AntiAlias=1
MouseOverAction=[!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# ImageName "My_Computer1.png"][!Update]
MouseLeaveAction=[!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# ImageName "My_Computer.png"][!Update]
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"]
ToolTipText="My Computer"

that is the code for button one, what I want though is either My_Computer1.png at a different size as My_Computer.png or mouseoveraction displaying two images.


hope that makes sense.

jsmorley guessed it right (given that we don't have the images, I assume you have the text inside the image). You should leave that out, make it a String Meter, and make it appear on hover.

This is a rough view of what i'm after doing.

I'm guessing that this can't be achieved by conventional methods ?

why don't you just make both images the same size?

Another option would be to also change the size of the image meter when the mouse hovers over it. Just use !SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# H [new height] where you replace [new height] with the appropriate height of the image you're now displaying.

I have tried..

MouseOverAction=[!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# ImageName "My_Computer3.png"] [!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# H=300] [!Update]

and

MouseOverAction=[!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# ImageName "My_Computer3.png"][!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# H [300] [!Update]

neither of make a difference as image just gets scrunched up.
