Dear Chipp, Many thanks for your posting!
Your suggestion is along the same line as the suggestions given by Jan and Terry, which were all extremely helpful. Indeed, I went the way of setting imageData and alphaData, and that works quite well. One little word of advice to others who need to implement this: set the alphaData BEFORE setting the imageData, otherwise for some reason the screen does not redraw properly using the new alphaData information...check out put img 1 into img 2 this way you don't have to 'unpack' them If you're using tranparent images, you may have to: set the width of img 1 to the width of img 2 set the imagedata of img 1 to the imagedata of image 2 set the alphadata of img 1 to the alphadata of image 2
I spent a lot of time working with images recently (butongadget)Wow! Wonderful! Perhaps you could give me a few pointers? For instance: are your 'skin' files actually stacks? - it seems that this is the best way to go about saving all the image and metadata information in a single file... Also, how do you then change the file TYPE of the skin stack, and how do you associate a custom file icon with that icon type on the Mac?
I also recently wrote a 'skinnable' application and had to work around many
of the same issues.
Once again, many thanks for all your suggestions!
Kind Regards,
