[solved!] right_bar not drawing

[pucedragonlord]

I cannot for the life of me figure out why the empty half of a bar isn't showing up. I'll drop the code and examples below, but in short, I have custom styling rules for a bar, but the empty side never shows up. The images it uses seems to check out, the thumb shows up and moves fine, but the empty side of the bar is just missing. There must be something I'm doing wrong, but I'm at a loss.

Code: Select all

    ##in the options.rp file##
    style.diviner = Style(style.default)

    #...non-bar style rules...

    style.diviner_bar.left_bar = "barFull"
    style.diviner_bar.right_bar = "barBase"
    style.diviner_bar.left_gutter = 24
    style.diviner_bar.right_gutter = 24
    style.diviner_bar.thumb = "longThumb"
    style.diviner_bar.thumb_shadow = None
    style.diviner_bar.thumb_offset = 27
    style.diviner_bar.xmaximum = 580
    style.diviner_bar.ymaximum = 50

    ##in a screen##
    bar style "diviner_bar" value 50 range 100
    add "barBase" #the file for the empty bar, to make sure it looks the way it's supposed to.
    add "barFull" #the file for the full bar, to make sure it looks the way it's supposed to.

I think we'd need to see what barFull and barBase are.

[pucedragonlord]

They are the two images with comments next to them in the attached file, below the broken bar attempt.

The upper one that looks like two distant triangles is the "barBase" image.
The lower with the line connecting them is "barFull"

Sure, but how are they defined? How wide are they? What happens if you replace then with Solids - does show the right bar?

[pucedragonlord]

I see. It looks like the right cap was being cut off (exactly, strangely enough -- even when I put something between them it went right up to where it cap should draw and stopped) by the frame width, shrinking them made it show up.

This, however, begs another question: I was under the impression the bars would stretch and squash when given various sizes, but that doesn't seem to happen. A bar with a background width of 300px, for example, always renders at 300px, even when given an xmaximum of 500. The thumb, however, behaves as if it's the larger size. What do I need to do to make them scale? I ultimately want to be able to use these as scrollbars for various lists, and it'll need to have variable sizes or things will look ugly.

[PyTom]

If you want them to scale, you have to make them Frames.

That hadn't even occurred to me. That should cover all my questions regarding scrollbars. Thanks as always.
