Topic: skin xml lines and class_defines

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

i have a hard time to get thing working properly with the new xml line now there is two separate lines instead one and if i delete one line i get a error, so is there an easy way to get the skin working but without problems, it seem like the class define lines is causing the problem, so how to star the new xml. the fir lines until the waves forms is working till this time but how to add the define lines???????

The structure remains the same, however version 8 introduces the nested structure. So you can have...
<panel>
<elements>
</element>
...
<element>
</element>
</panel>
..without having to add panel="...." to each nested element.

Same goes with <group> and others. So if you delete a line, just make sure it doesn't break the structure. I would suggest to use an XML Editor or an advanced Text editor like Notepad++ in order to see how the <...> </...> are structured.

Btw, the <group> is not something that affects the skin itself. Is more like a tool to help you group elements together and make the xml easier to read and understand.
Appart from grouping elements together, the <group> also can have x=".." y=".." and the nested elements have relative positions instead of absolute. This helps in case you will need to move the entire group by simply changineg the x, y of the group instead of each nested elements individually.
<group name="...." y="" y="" >
....
....
</group>
name is optional
