Looking for source pic in UI section
 

I am looking for the source of the black bar I have outlined in white here. This is the same black bar that has the construction (and so forth) icon(s) placed on it. I tried looking in the UI section where I am sure it must be but can't tell for certain which bar belongs to it. Does anyone else know?

No idea, just flouting my new Brigadier General stars...


mmmmmm... shiney.

Congrats man, in the Army you have to buy a case for every grade, you owe a lot of cases now!!! I don't see a star though. Brigadier General is one star by the way. Be My Little General is the way I was taught to keep track of it.

Be = Brigadier General with 1 star.
My = Major General with two stars.
Little = Lieutenant General with three stars.
General = General with four stars.

PES, that's nice, I didn't see it on the first try for some reason. Thanks for the new avatar, buddy!

Please don't thank me. This is all David E. Gervais's work. I just combined it for your use.

Edited: Thank you SJ that is just what I am looking for, and why I couldn't find them. I want to modify that black background so it is transparent if at all possible.

Just when you aren't looking the avatar master swoops in out of nowhere. Thanks, Dave!

Re: Looking for source pic in UI section
 

Well my idea was to make this transparent; however, it did not work. This may be due to my lack of graphics skills or more likely it has something to do with the hard code. I thought it was a nifty idea but unless someone else can make it work it won't happen.

Re: Looking for source pic in UI section
 

Dumb question, did you use the right color code?

Re: Looking for source pic in UI section
 

Not dumb at all, yes I did. The same that works on the flag backgrounds, etc.

Re: Looking for source pic in UI section
 

Did you use black, or the pink one?

Re: Looking for source pic in UI section
 

Both, the pink is very lovely on the black background of space! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif I also tried blue, WOW! You want to talk about a shock to the eyes. The Pink was subtle compared to the blue.

Re: Looking for source pic in UI section
 

Well then something must be wrong then...if you see the pink, then it isnt the right code...

Re: Looking for source pic in UI section
 

That's why I think SE5 is hard coded to take a certain area of the pic. I also beleive that area is a 19x19 pixel block. You see it didn't matter what I used everything showed up, pink, blue, or black. I know other areas are hard coded to display a background. Such as the Empire screen with the area behind the current production numbers.
