User:Opensource Obscure/Panel Navigation Bar 2.1

The following instructions will let you add a Sky button to the Location Bar.

When you press the Sky button, the Advanced Sky Editor window opens and you can easily change the Sky Presets by using the drop-down menu in the upper-left corner of the window.

See the WindLight_settings page for many additional presets.

Add a Sky button to your viewer - the easy way

• Open the skins/default/xui/en/ folder inside your Second Life installation folder. Make a backup copy of the panel_navigation_bar.xml file.
• Right click this link and save the file to the skins/default/xui/en/ folder, overwriting the original panel_navigation_bar.xml file.

You can usually do the last step in a single action: in the Save as... window of your browser, select the original panel_navigation_bar.xml file, then press OK and confirm to overwrite it.

By hand

It may take more time, but this way you can see what the change is about.

• Make a backup copy, then edit this file: skins/default/xui/en/panel_navigation_bar.xml
• Use the Search/Find feature of your text editor and search this string: *TODO
• In the line above, change 266 to 230
• A dozen of lines above, look for this string: <location_input
• Above that line, add a new line with the following code

<button follows="left|top" height="23" layout="topleft" left_pad="7" name="Windlight" label="Sky" tool_tip="Open Sky Settings" top_delta="0"  width="30"> <button.init_callback function="Button.SetFloaterToggle" parameter="env_windlight" /> </button>

• Save and quit

StarLight + Sky button

You can also add the Sky button if you are using the StarLight skin for Viewer 2.1. The process is similar to what is outlined above.

• Make a backup copy of the "panel_navigation_bar.xml" file found in the StarLight folder (StarLight-->xui-->en-->skins)
• Find the line in that file that starts with "<search_combo_box"
• Two lines above that change width="180" to width="144"
• Find the line ""
• Above that line, add a new line with the following code

<button follows="left|top" height="23" layout="topleft" left_pad="7" name="Windlight" label="Sky" tool_tip="Open Sky Settings" top_delta="0" width="30"> <button.init_callback function="Button.SetFloaterToggle" parameter="env_windlight" /> </button>

• Save and quit
