# set the multiplier to be used in all screen drawing
self.xmult = float(osd.width) / 800
self.ymult = float(osd.height) / 600
That's not so good. You have the function
def update_content(self):
self.parent = self.menu
self.content = self.calc_geometry(self.layout.content, copy_object=True)
self.update_functions[self.menu.curSkin]()
so self.content.x is were you should start drawing, self.content.width
is the width. Same for 'y' and 'height'. Using that, you make sure it
fit's the content area even if someone makes a new fxd file for your
plugin.

<content> is only a name I choose in lack of a better one. Looking at
your screenshot, I guess you could have four areas: screen for the
background, header and body for the mail and plugin for the idlebar.
So you could do:
| skin.register ( 'mailreader', ('screen', Header(), Body(), 'plugin'))
and draw the stuff with
| skin.draw('mailreader', mail_object_to_be_shown)
Question is, what is Header() and Body():
| class Header(skin.Area):
| """
| the mail header
| """
| def __init__(self):
| skin.Area.__init__(self, 'header')
The 'header' here refers to the fxd file. This means this area expects
<header> inside the <mailreader>. Same for Body. The class has one
draw function:
| def update_content(self):
| self.mail = self.menu
ok, self.menu is a bad name. I have to look inside the skin, maybe we
could find a better way to give you the object to draw. Now self.mail
is the object you added to skin.draw()
| self.content = self.calc_geometry(self.layout.content, copy_object=True)
Now you have the values were to draw inside self.content. Draw
everything you like with the drawing functions inside area.py:
drawroundbox, drawstring and drawimage.
