Hi everyone,
I don't know if someone could help me with this. I'm trying to use the Gui designer to turn all my previous XML file for connecting the GUI to a device into the type of file generated with Gui designer. However, when I load a custom image, the image appear glitchy or not like it should on the device.
I've Already experienced this when building the GUI with XML, it was due to me not entering the right width and Height values corresponding to the custom image or by choosing the wrong control type. So I thought that having the possibility to enter exact value in the GUI designer will fix this issue, but it's not the case.
If someone has the answer, It'll really help me. Thank you
Here some example:
Selector:
This how this selector should work
this how it appears with the GUI designer, even with the right value inserted
i've tried to play with the spacing, but it does not look like it'll help
Slider:
This is how the slider should appear
but it shows like this once again with all the right value inserted
Knob:
there is only the knob that seem to works perfectly fine

It seems you might not be using the proper resolution, actual size is one thing, but DPI is the clarity.
Web standard is 72 dpi, try doubling or at least 300 or more.

Wow Hello Dirk Diggler, thanks for your quick answer !
However, when I've built my images, I went even overboard by putting 600 in resolution just in case. Plus, the images worked without problem with the Xml file, so normally It should not be about resolution

Is there a field altering it in the XML file perhaps?
Seems like there' s some sort of scaling going wrong.
And the fader clue might be also in the XML.
It's adding in a line return every move of the location.

I'm not sure to understand, do you mean that the XML file may cause a malfunction of the GUI designer ? Or that we could look into the XML to find a solution about it ?
But i agree with you on the fact that the problem seem to come from a wrong scaling !

Yes, the XML must be over ridding scaling.
I'm guessing there's some "element" that's causing the issue.
My guesses are not Melda specific, just generic web/xml.

I see ! I'll try to delete the XML file from Melda documents, but I don't think that this is the cause neither, because I did not export the GUI designer file yet. Those issue appeared inside the GUI designer interface, so it should normally not interfere with the xml file (also I've tried to load another device into GUI designer to see if it was due to my device, but the result was the same)
I'll let you know if it works !

Deleting the XML should break everything, it needs to be there I'm pretty sure.
You can open the XML in a browser or web editor like Notepad ++.

Thank you for your reply and Sorry for the late feedback,it took me some times!
So I've tested different situations and it didn't worked, I think that the problems lies in the GUI editor, maybe the image that I've prepared are not fit for it or I don't know which Reason. I will try to check if we can access the images available in presets to see if there is a lead.
In any case I'll stick with XML since it works well hoping that the new updates won't break the GUI.
