Trying To Make A Skin
« on: September 19, 2003, 07:23:00 AM »

This is what I have in mind for my skin. It will be an LCD type interface. The thing is, I want to know if I can have a semi transparent overlay put on the top of everthing, so its like an LCD Screen. And also would it be possible to have it overlay onto the actually MXM Menus as well? Meaning everything will be behind the LCD Screen overlay.

Yes, it is possible.  Just make sure the LCD image is the last thing you add in your "menu.xml".  Its works like layers.  The first added is on the bottom, the last is on top.

Yes but will the MXM system menu (Y button) pop up over on top of my overlay?

yes, the system menu is independant of main layout. no need to worry about it (except specifying the colors you want in the skin.xml)
