but in the the curent build r27902 there is a theme called cabbiev2 and the code for the progress bar is

## Progress Bar %V(8,86,160,8,-)%pb(0,0,160,8,pb-176x132x16.bmp)

NOW here is the problem .... i really want to use the  cabbiev2.1mod but if i try change the code from

PLS HELP ME .... pm back o something

[biengo]

You have to put the %pb tag in a separate viewport as of lately. I.e.

Code: [Select]

%V(8,86,160,8,-)%Vf(123456)%Vb(000000)
%pb(0,0,-,-,pb-176x132x16.bmp)

Hey, I tried to fix my progressbar, but only thing I have is black screen (on wps) or not showing progress bar or only progress bar :/ As I said before i tried to fix it in several methods and nothing. Here's my original code:

Can someone help me?

I have a similar problem but with the Ultima Theme for the Sansa E200 (progress bar does not display).

Following biengo's advice and simply replacing the "%pb(4,121,172,1,pb.bmp)" by "%V(4,121,172,5,-) %pb(0,0,-,-,pb.bmp)" is not the right way to do it. The progress is at the right position and works, but all other elements apart from the backdrop do not show up.

Can you help us with our problem?

I have a similar problem but with the Ultima Theme for the Sansa E200 (progress bar does not display).

Following biengo's advice and simply adding a viewport (unfortunately I do not have insight into theme coding) corrupts the theme and shows only the backdrop and progress bar.

Since the skin syntax was updated, quite some time ago now, the progressbar needs to be housed in a viewport, this will fix it.

If you added the viewport correctly, it should work.

You're aware that the progressbar code is commented out in that code snippet I take it?
That would definitely cause it not to display
It is best to supply the original, unmodified code if you're asking for support about a theme as then we don't have to guess what the author added compared to what you yourself have added as a potential fix.

[...] the progressbar needs to be housed in a viewport [....]

Yes, I know that, and therefore I have experimented a bit with the positioning of the viewport/progress bar.

[...] You're aware that the progressbar code is commented out in that code snippet I take it? [....]

Yes, I am. I have just commented it out in order to indicate that this is the part I have troubles with.

[...] It is best to supply the original, unmodified code [....]

The original code can be accessed through the link to the Ultima Theme I have added to my previous post.
Additionally I have now modified the code of my previous post (just changed the two lines of viewport and progress bar back to the original version).
