Sometimes you have a lot of drawables and you need to find a specific one you just added.

#TEXTUREPACKER LIBGDX PATCH#

Changing the value of the zoom slider will expand the drawables while honoring any nine patch settings. By default, the drawables are displayed at their smallest natural size. The background is colored white or black to give the best contrast with the edges of the images. Thumbnails are displayed of each drawable. Images of all the standard file types as well as nine-patches are supported by LibGDX. You can also just drag and drop files from your operating system to the window if you prefer. Click the вЂњAdd DrawableвЂќ button to select one or more images at a time. The drawables dialog can be opened by clicking on a drawable property in a style or by going through the menu (Project > Drawables).ДЄdding images to your project is very easy. DrawablesДrawables, or simply images in our case, are the main component to our skins. Notice the maroon colored fields (mandatory) and the orange colored fields (optional). Try choosing the вЂњSelectBoxвЂќ class from the class select box at the top. Any classes missing these mandatory fields will not be previewed or exported. There are also mandatory fields that must be filled as dictated by LibGDX. You must create these dependencies first. Some classes, such as the SelectBox, depend on other classes in order to operate. By leaving all of the fields blank and not adding any styles, it will not be included in your export. If youВ haveВ no use for a certain kind of widget you are not obligated to include it in your skin. How Classes WorkД®ach different class represents a widget that you can use in your user interfaces. After entering a new name, you can make changes to this style without affecting the original. Select the вЂњdefaultвЂќ style and click the duplicate button.

Sometimes you already have a good widget and you want to make another style just like it with only minor changes. If you want to delete any of the other styles, select the style and click the вЂњxвЂќ button. Each class has a required вЂњdefaultвЂќ style that canвЂ™t be deleted. You can switch between the different styles by clicking the style select box. Try making a button with a different appearance here. Invalid names will not be accepted (letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores are fine).ДЄ new style with empty properties will be created. Click the вЂњ+вЂќ button to the right of the style select box at the top. You may have a standard button for your menus but you might want a more stylish button to begin the game. Skins operate on the idea of having different styles. Clicking these corresponding controls will behave in a predictable manner Working with Styles These include fonts, colors, numeric values, and links to other class styles. There are different kinds of properties you can set depending on whichВ class youвЂ™re modifying. Try this with the other drawable properties and click the interactive button in the preview to see how it changes. The preview is updated to reflect the change. You can also choose вЂњClear DrawableвЂќ to clear the selection.

Here you can select a new image to replace the up state of the button. Click on the portrait next to the вЂњupвЂќ property. The panel on the left side displays all of the current styleвЂ™s properties for the selected class.

After taking a moment to load, a preview of a button will appear on the right side. Once you have done that, navigate to the samples folder included with the download. You will be prompted to save the project first.
