Talk:Border-type Images

Images on dialog buttons work exactly the same way, as any other image with type border (e.g. custom dialog image can be set to work like this, too), so maybe it should be named "Border-type images" (there is one further type, "horizontal border", that has different layout and is rarely used)--M0rt 23:46, 12 May 2011 (PDT)

Hmm unless I'm missing something, I thought you couldn't change a dialog button's image (unless you replace the existing dds in the Assets)? Basically the only reason I named it "Dialog Background" was because I've seen a bunch of people ask about how to change the dialog's background without looking awful. I don't mind renaming it and redirecting "Dialog Background," I suppose. -- DevliN 02:39, 13 May 2011 (PDT)

You can change it just like you would with an image item, with "Dialog Item Change Image" and "Dialog Item Change hover image" (hover image is a special property that is used only by buttons). You can also hide the default background and place a custom image over the entire dialog, that doesn't need this layout.--M0rt 02:58, 13 May 2011 (PDT)

Oh good to know. I was under the impression that it changing the image item didn't work for buttons. I've been putting images over them all this time. Haha. -- DevliN 10:46, 13 May 2011 (PDT)

Anyone mind explaining why this is categorized as "Triggers"? :/ - Payne 15:04, 14 May 2011 (PDT)

Probably because you change dialog background using triggers. It should be mentioned what triggers change the dialog background. I'd do it myself but I can't remember and have no editor access right now. --Jack 17:01, 14 May 2011 (PDT)

Yeah, basically what Jack said. I just didn't get around to adding anything about specifically using triggers to change it. -- DevliN 19:07, 14 May 2011 (PDT)

Rename?

This should probably be renamed to Dialog Backgrounds or Dialog Background Images rather than Border-type Images; Border-type Images is more ambiguous and not as clear what it is. --Jack 20:05, 24 August 2011 (PDT)

Dialog Background was the old name. Now it just redirects here. The reasoning is explained in the above portion of this page. --DevliN 18:13, 25 August 2011 (PDT)
