9Verb gui menu gets squashed

[jhonberg]

Hi i made a background with  109  X  height 64   and added some gap space for the gui menu but it all
gets squashed and also  i can't figure out how to center the background.

I'm not sure how to make this work. I have enough space at the bottom and at the sides please help.

Thanks in advance.

What resolution do you use? Make sure to import backgrounds in the same size as your game resolution. If you want that black void around the room, do that with your image software.

Thanks for the reply   the background is now 219  by 128 i mean the image size in pixels is this and setup the resolution on the General Settings


But still this is the out come...
Im not sure what i am missing here

Open the GUI, set the size and adjust the buttons.
That is surely because you created a smaller game than the template, and it got adjusted to the smaller size of the game, but the images that are used are still the original size.

If you making a game at another res than the template you'll need to fix the images, by making your own the correct size and replace the ones provided.

First of all thanks for the reply   now
ok i went to the GUI on the explore project menu, i changed the size on the
layout  but it has a fix size somewhere becuase it didn't change.

No matter the size i put on the layout it remains with same height.

I'm working on the template of the 9-verb and it has this sample gui there
how can it be so obscure to change it's height, other question guys the light purple
color in the background is supposed to be transparency, when i create a new GUI it's
just a gray dull square.

Thanks for the help

ok i am sorry i even ask that stupid question... is just that i can't see well some times
i completely missed the in the left side window there is Properties  and there you can find a dropbox with all the items contained.

Also in the properties that's where you change the size of the GUI, just make sure you have selected the GUI and not one of the buttons/labels/etc things on the GUI. I normally just click outside, where I'm sure there isn't any other item for me to click on.

And yes, the pink is transparent. Why it's grey, might be cause it's over something grey on the background?
