Backgroundimages not working

[FantomXR]

Hey people,

I now tried a windows version as well as a mac version and I’m not able to get the backgroundimages working.
In the mac version I even don’t see them in the dropdown-list when loading them as ressource. In the win version I can set the background via the dropdown without any problems. But when exporting the panel as standalone-application the background is empty / white.
Is there a version out there where this is working?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi FantomXR,

I have the same issue on OSX with Ctrlr v5.3.198
images work on OSX Ctrlr v5.3.163
so I keep Ctrlr v5.3.163 in the Applications folder as well as v5.3.198
I’ve renamed them as ‘Ctrlr v5.3.198’ and ‘Ctrlr v5.3.163’
I normally use v5.3.198 and use Ctrlr v5.3.163 only to load images.
Hope this helps.

Ah… could you be so kind and upload 163? I can not find it on the internet!
That would be awesome!

Thanks,
Chris

FantomXR,

You can find it in WebArchive / WayBackMachine

Here is the link:

It has other issues so only use it for inserting images into components.

This is also not working for me 🙁
The background stays white… or whatever I set the background color to. If I remove the background color, than I have those “stripes” in the background… but no picture. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong…

[Mr.ToR]

As far as what I understood from what you’re trying to do:
the stripes are unavoidable 🙂

add an uiImage component, add image to resources, include image resource to uiImage component, add a new layer from layer editor, work in the top layer, leave image as background in the bottom layer.

If you know/find a better way, post here 🙂
