Hello everyone,

 

I need help in figuring out what is this line called?

 

 

This is from bblean 1.17, when i upgraded to mojmir build, those lines are gone. I like to recreate those line again.

 

Thank You!

Those are menu separators. You can adjust the settings by using the context menu to navigate to Configuration > Menus > Separators, check and uncheck Draw Separators is an option under Menus as well. I believe in the menu.rc you can decide where they are placed by using [nop]. For an example, see https://github.com/x...ettings/menu.rc

You can also set separator color and shadow by editing the style's file.

These are some of the extra style settings that started with bbClean - there are more. I just coped and pased these from my current style so, this is only an example (I keep these in a seperate section in the style file in case a Linux/Unix user wants to use the file):

! -------- bbCLEAN SETTINGS -------- ! -------- menus -------- menu.separator.margin: 4 ! default color is "menu.frame.textColor" menu.separator.color: #86a5df ! -------- shadows -------- toolbar.windowlabel.shadowColor:   #254394 toolbar.windowlabel.shadowX:   1 toolbar.windowlabel.shadowY:   1 menu.title.shadowColor: #254394 menu.title.shadowX: 1 menu.title.shadowY: 1 menu.active.shadowColor:   #254394 menu.active.shadowX:   1 menu.active.shadowY:   1 window.label.focus.shadowColor: #254394 window.label.focus.shadowX: 1 window.label.focus.shadowY: 1

The "menu.separator.shadow~" settings were completely undocumented when bbClean came out. I found them by accident when I was displeased with the hard edged look the seperator was giving a style I was doing and I could see it had a shadow on it. So I said to myself "self, if you were a developer and you had a setting named "menu.separator", what would you name the shadow setting?". Tried it and it worked.

BTW, if you set "menu.separator.shadowColor:" to the same color as "menu.frame.backgroundColor:", it looks much better on solid flat styles... IMO.

Lol... I loved that... But it WAS documented. I do remember me and Zeytok talking about it and then me and noccy

You are right. From the changelog TXT:

# New entry in styles files: (* mean any item with "color", "colorTo", "textColor", ...) *shadowColor: black *shadowX: 0 *shadowY: 0 (shadowX=0 and shadowY=0 disable shadows) menu.separator.margin: 2 menu.separator.color: (default color is "menu.frame.textColor")

Unfortunately, that blew right over my head at the time and as a result I  just worked it out with a bit of logic. BTW: what happened to:

- New bullet from bbleanMod : saturn, jupiter, mars, venus

Must have been removed in favor of the new custom bullet bitmaps cuz they no worky no mo.

Ah, saturn, jupiter, mars & venus, my names contribution to Zeytok's build They are still here, but as you said most (me included) prefer bitmaps.

Does the menu.separator.margin setting work on BBZero?

While color works, I can't get to work the margin, don't know if there's something wrong with my style settings...

[pitkon]

The syntax is menu.separator.margin: 32

Used to work in BBClean-XZero450 and Mojmir migrated most of it to his build, so it should work.

XZero450 commented: "Margin creates a pixel based buffer from the edge of the menu thus the margin set to 32 is a 32 pixel buffer to control the size of the separators."

[sitalk]

Thanks pitkon, it does work indeed!

All I had to do is disable "Full Width" on the separator's settings.
