Hello everyone,
I just upgraded from Pano2QTVR to Pano2VR and am very excited to have found this forum. I have a question but am almost embarrassed to ask it after seeing all the amazing things people are doing with the software. I worked through several of the tutorials on the website and found that using the software is pretty easy, but just like playing an instrument it is easy to make a sound but very difficult to play a song. please forgive me if this question has already been ask on the forum, as I have not yet read through every post.
When applying a logo to the skin editor is there a way to make the logo scale from small screen to full screen, I noticed some scaling work being done on the loading bar tutorial but didn't fully understand if that worked only for loading bars, or if I could apply it to a company logo as well.
any advice would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance for your time.
Thanks,
Bill Wunderlich
Scaling logo
Hi Bigwunder
As I know this doesn't work. I think there is a recent thread about it in this forum.
But you can add a button in the skin which when hit changes the skin and eventually the size of your logo and makes the other one switch away.
You would have to try a little with the toggle element view action.
See my pano for skins appearing or disappearing respectively for showing hiding maps

Why wouldn't scaling work?
You just need to know that you can make a button do several things at once.
So if you make a button that toggles small screen to full screen and back, it can also scale your logo at the same time if you want it to.
step 1: add your logo-image to the list of elements in the skin editor and give it a name and place etc.
step 2: in its Properties screen, under the Settings tab, look for 'Scaling'. change 1,00 for both x and y to, let's say 0,5 and click OK.
step 3: In the Actions/Modifiers tab of your 'Full-Screen' Button Properties screen, add an action with 'Mouse Click' in the Source column.
step 4: Choose 'Toggle Element Scale' in the Action column next to it.
step 5: fill in the x-scale and y-scale factors you want to apply to your logo, I would suggest using 1,00 for both of them, so fill in 1/1.
step 6: select your logo-image (its name) in the Target column on the right.
Then click OK, and you are done.
The reason I advise you to make your logo smaller then actually it is for the small screen, and 100% sized for the full-screen is that scaling down generally works better than scaling up.

Hi Eric
Didn't thaught on that one.
I generalized that an image can't change size simply by switching to fullscreen mode.
But you're right by adding a command to the fullscreen button to change the behavior of an element should work.
