Sometimes you come across plugins with their own skin, but you sometimes see strange characters in them, for example

position = "% d, 0" size = "1080,% d" what is the meaning of "% d" and how do you calculate it to get the correct measurements?

 

(Google Translate).

I hate plugins that add custom screens where actually a standard screen can be used.... what % means I do not know... but it seems it insert ‘variable’ values here you actually never can adjust with your/our custom skins. So it just inserts solid numbers. The calculation is in the code

Ben ik met je eens, maar ik was gewoon benieuwd wat dat nu precies inhoud en waarom men dit doet.

Er staat dan meestal achter de string weer er.% met waardes/formules tussen ()

Which plugin?

I also see skins that have the e parameter? For instance position="e-144". What does it mean?

Does it have to do with a dynamic placement for icons, like when an icon is active it moves another one next to it and when it is not active, the other one moves back to its original position?

"e" means end. So "e-14" means 14px less than the dimension of the parent element.

 

So say you want to create 60 px high horizontal background at the bottom of the screen  to hover your button texts over...

<eLabel position="0,e-60" size="e,60" backgroundColor="black" zPosition="-2" />

Which would be the same as...

<eLabel position="0,1020" size="1920,60" backgroundColor="black" zPosition="-2" />

 

There are other chars that can be used in a formula... See here...
