Progress Bar with no bmp

[PaulF]

I have been scaling a theme for different size SDL screens To save scaling a  bmp, I have been trying to follow the example WPS guide where they use a dash instead of bmp name..

The bar is on a black background and it has white frame that is filled in with white as the playing time increases. It works fine, but I don't know where the frame is coming from. I like the frame except the frame has three sides and the bottom line is missing. I tried a lot of different widths for the view and the bar. I have feeling I am doing something stupid.

Why is the pb viewport 10 units thick when the pb is only 6 thick?
Do you want the pb in the middle of the view port?
Depending on where you want the pb relative to the viewport, it should work if you change pb(-,-...) to pb(0,0,...).  Or pb(0,2,...) depending on where you want the progress bar.  Or just change the pb viewport to be the same thickness as the pb (and also change the -,- to 0,0).

Frankenpod, we think alike. I am pretty sure I tried your method. I resized the bar and moved it up and down in the view port several different ways. I'll give more info this time.

Well it works for me when I use

# Progress bar
%Vl(vpNowPlaying,98,256,283,10,-)
%pb(0,0,-,10)
#

Not sure what the '- ' in place of the '10' is intended to do, but it doesn't give the result you want (perhaps a rockbox theme engine glitch?), so just put the '10' in there.

...or

# Progress bar
%Vl(vpNowPlaying,98,256,283,6,-)
%pb(0,0,-,6)
#

...or

# Progress bar
%Vl(vpNowPlaying,98,256,283,6,-)
%pb(0,2,-,6)
#

...depending on which you want.

Frankenpod, your first example worked! :-) Thank you.
