UI Floaters

This is a first stab and documenting the current xml file format as used in the Second LIfe viewer. Its not meant to be pretty, just useful (I hope).

The only conventions I can find defined on the wiki are as follows:

Adjust the Size of Widgets and Interface Elements

You will see the following information in XML files as well. This is what it means:

Width and Height

• width="100" // sets the width of the widget to be 100 pixels
  • Note: This is the entire width of the widget, not just the label.
• height="20" // sets the height of the widget to be 20 pixels
  • Note: This is the entire width of the widget, not just the label.

Left

• left="10" // sets the horizontal position of the left edge of the widget to be 10 pixels from the left edge of the panel or floater
• left_delta="100" // sets the horizontal position of the left edge of the widget to be 100 pixels from the left edge of previously listed widget
  • Note: Use left *or* left_delta, never both.

Bottom

• bottom="300" // sets the vertical position of the bottom edge of the widget to be 300 pixels from the bottom edge of the panel or floater
• bottom="-30" // sets the vertical position of the bottom edge of the widget to be 30 pixels from the top edge of the panel or floater
• bottom_delta="-30" // sets the vertical position of the bottom edge of widget to be 30 pixels from the bottom edge of previously listed widget
  • Note: Use bottom *or* bottom_delta, never both.
