03/08/2023, 12:29 PMarghh no .. in fact it doesn't work for me, because I'm using slicing too ^^ maybe .. a moment - b

03/08/2023, 12:30 PMyeah, i think slice and repeat are mutually exclusive - b

03/08/2023, 12:30 PMbut if you know how high your "book" is going to be, then you can just make your "tile" (shelf) that height and use repeat, no? - f

03/08/2023, 12:32 PMthe problem is the right and left side - f
full-journalist-82607
03/08/2023, 12:32 PMbut maybe I should change the image or do a custom container that creates the hboxes automatically - b

03/08/2023, 12:33 PMthe rules could be images or something? - b

03/08/2023, 12:34 PMeven with 9slice, you are going to have a hard time giving it a single image, and it "cut out" the shevles and repeat those along one axis, but leave the sides / top intact - f

03/08/2023, 12:36 PMI think I have an idea. I'll post the result ( if there is a result :P) but first now that given me the idea of having book cover for each book, I need to fight with inkscape to have some cool book cover 😉 - b

03/08/2023, 12:37 PMyou are basically saying, slice9 the red and stretch etc, but cut out the blue and repeat it as a background-repeat... which isnt how slice9 or background-repeat work - f

03/08/2023, 12:38 PMno not exactly I basically want .... one moment I'll make an image - f

03/08/2023, 12:44 PMAnd it being one continuous horizontal box , so I can resize easily for landscape/portrait/computers/smartphones - b

03/08/2023, 12:47 PMthe problem i foresee is know how many rows there are - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/08/2023, 12:47 PMactually, i have an idea... two ticks - b

03/08/2023, 12:52 PMyeah it's the layout that counts the rows - f
full-journalist-82607
03/08/2023, 12:53 PMOh indeed nice trick - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/08/2023, 12:53 PMwhat about the layout above... main difference between that and you example is the shelves will always be full sized - f
full-journalist-82607
03/08/2023, 12:56 PMhmm, seems nice ! I think it should be okay . In fact I need some resizing only on the sides horizontally , so I don't really care if the vertical part is always the same size. - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/08/2023, 12:57 PMwell, i meant the size of the shelf horizontallly - f
full-journalist-82607
03/08/2023, 12:59 PMOh ok, but it's not a problem 🙂 I don't really need the size the size of the self to match the number of books 🙂 - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/08/2023, 12:59 PMcool 👌 Probably more "shelf like" anyway if they arent varying widths - f
full-journalist-82607
03/08/2023, 1:00 PMYeah exactly 🙂 Thanks for the brainstorming ! - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/08/2023, 1:02 PMnp 🙂 Be interested to see what something more "real" ends up looking like - f

03/08/2023, 1:03 PMOkay ! I'll post it when it's coded ! 🙂 - t
