Separator Bars in Skins
« on: November 17, 2009, 06:58:23 pm »
I've been playing with creating separator bars and adding white space between logical sections, rather than cluttering the page with different background colours.  Separators make a much cleaner page so I can control where a viewer's (my) eye travels around the page with simple text highlighting.

I've found workaround for both of these, but it's messy and since html tags exist for much of this, it would be nice to have some of them implemented.

<hr />
<br />
<img src= />  (pulling images from the images directory where pvd is installed)

Here's what I'm using now for a dashed line separator:

           <row>
            <column halign="left">
             <label>
              <caption>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</caption>
              <font><color>$ff0000</color><size>12</size></font>
             </label>
             <fieldlabel field="wish"><font><color>$FFEFCF</color></font></fieldlabel>
            </column>
           </row>

$FFEFCF is the background colour, so the "wish" label isn't visible.  Without a field label, I haven't been able to get the <label> text to display.

A blank line works the same way...just changing the <label> font to the background color.  Spaces aren't accepted, so I use a single character to shorten the

What I'd really like to code would be something like:
<row>
 <column>
  <img src="separator.jpg"> 
 </column>
</row>

or

<row>
 <column>
  <hr />
 </column>
</row>

I agree. Added to my TODO list.
