yeah a grid bcould be better option ... but if I have a smartphone with a screen resolution of 2160x1080, than I could make a vbox with width= 1080px and height=2160px or ? my current layout is never so large 🤨

the size of things like text should change

it should be based on DPI

(unless you have Toolkit.autoScale = false?)

the problem if you start using fixed sizes is that many phones have different resolutions, so its just better to go with %'s (or alignments)

I have not set autoScale false

thats true

and does the text on your phone look tiny (inside the haxeui app?)

or a decent / normal / readable size?

xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<vbox style="padding:50px;background-color: #212121;" width="100%" height="100%">
    <label color="#FFFFFF" text="Hello world !" horizontalAlign="center"/>
</vbox>

I cannot even see "Hello world" from this simple example 🤨 .. only the backgroud color ...html5 works

that seems weird... what about if you reduce the padding to, say, 5px?

color="#FFFFFF"

works, eh? cool... heh heh

at least on html and linux

i guess

color="blue"

would work too... the power of haxe abstracts 🙂

does not work with padding:5px ... damn 😩

ok, if you can knock up a basic emptyish project that doesnt work ill take a look at it tomorrow

thx for the help

no hassle, no bother

@User if I delete the horizontalAlign of the example above, the text is aligned left and now I can see it on my smartphone .... but the window doesnt stop right and at the bottom of the screen (I added a border and its not shown right and bottom), but I use %'s ... the app doesnt fit the screen size 🤔

@User is there a way to prevent a slider from being movable? basically make it static, similar to a progress bar?

@User with xml you can use "disabled"

xml
<slider pos="25" min="1" max="100" disabled="true"/>

@User thank you

@User - can you send / link the entire test project you are working with?

so @User - if you want to use persistentUpdate with substates (and have %'s work) you'll need to use flixel 4.9.0 (as it has some new signals in it), however, this hasnt been released as of yet, so in the mean time you'll need to use flixel git, and set

<haxedef name="flixel" value="4.9.0" />

yourself

for versions less than 4.9 the old hacky method is still in place, but that wont work with persistentUpdate=true (but should be fine if its false)

I think that'd have to be

version="git"

actually

not if you

<haxedef />

though, right?

I mean, im using my fork now, and have manually set

<haxedef name="flixel" value="4.9.0" />

my project.xml and seems to work fine

oh, I read

<haxedef>

as

<haxelib>

cool 🙂
