Creating mimic ppc screen?

Postby ingalls on Thu Jan 06, 2005 11:18 am

Hello,

I would like to add the ppc and the airpanel 1024*768 with mimic feature on my new skin: Xtux, you can find it in the skin section.

What do I need to do that?
-for having the screens
-for telling: this client ppc screen will be with this server screen
-for having mimic feature active in the skin

Thanks for help

For mimic'ing the screen I think all you need to do is name the screen with ppc_ as prefix. I guess jowaldo and Baddabing can correct me if I am wrong...

Ingalis, I am not fully clear on what you are asking., but I'll give it a try...

To mimick a screen (have the server screen mirror your actions on the client) you have to set a button for the mimic event. This command is found at: Setup>Event Manager>Commands>mimic .

To add another skins ppc screens, just drag and drop them into your skin folder (and drag and drop the necessary buttons and backgrounds into the respective Buttons and Backgrounds folder). You will also need to create the appropriate events (ie. "goto ppcmenu" ) for the ppc screens in the Setup if you don't know how to cut and paste the necessary code from the xml files from the Eventgroups folder.

To create your own ppc screens you need to start off in the skin editor with a background skin sized at 240x320 (make sure the starting x/y coordinates are 0,0) for a typical PPC PDA screen. Then build your skin around that background.

"-for telling: this client ppc screen will be with this server screen "

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by this question. Can you please rephrase it? I hope the other info helps.
Later!

In fact, I would like to do that:
1)A classical PC with xlobby server with videos, audio, ...
2)a second PC connected on the thinclient network able to control xlobby server
on this second pc, there will be the xlobbysdk etc...
And this second pc will be control with the smartdisplay to have tactil and wireless control of xlobby.
No videos on the second pc.

So I need to create on my skin ppc screens.

Thanks for help.
