Hi guys...scirra released slider bars on the last update...but i have a question?? why do they look so generic and ugly?? i want to ask to work on a Customizable Silder Bar where i can set the image of the bar and the slider and have the ability to animate the two, becuase i use 2 frames, when its selected and when is not...thats all i ask...
knowing that this community has some many talented people like rexrainbow, R0J0hound, Pode, septeven, linkman2004 and much more... C2 has the official textbox plugin, without any custom options.. and seeing that someone did advanced textbox plugin that allows to set color of the box, color of the text and more... i wont be surprised of some of you will make something with the slider plugin... becuase right now...it looks lame
thanks a lot...i hope this becomes real...
Make your own.
Here's an example of how to do it.

I agree with you, not so much that they are ugly as i like the progressbar. But more as Sethmaster also indicated that they are not all that useful, mostly because theres a very small chance that it will fit your graphical style of the game.
Would be nice if the slider bar object required you to make two sprites that was link to it, and would make up the graphical part of the object. But not sure if that's easy.
Because plugin of HTML element like text box is not high priority of my todo list. Since they might not be used in the game.
rexrainbow i understand that.... but is it that hard to make it?? i think it looks like a easy plugin...
Sethmaster i will check it out, thanks!
I thought it might not be harder, it could be done by CSS I guess.
You might ask Pode, or septeven for this behavior. since they had made some html element plugins before.

You've never heard about CSS style , correct?
Perhaps you could answer this: Does css work in preview?

yes
I see a color picker, just out of curiosity are you using color picker plugin? Check Input plugin, that may help with styling of elements... Can set text/background color & angle in editor...
Will read that soon, tnx!
i kinda have the feeling that CSS styling is worse then image buttons.
well css is used on every webpage incl this one for styling html webpages ..
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
yes i know, but images are also the basic element for websites, but i thought it would be easier
to use 2 images, and change them onhover, then write a whole styling for a button (borders, inner border, shadows, and more..), seems like a lot more work. though i believe it should be faster
