How to size Composite based on CSS background-image? [message #1095278] Mon, 26 August 2013 21:54 Go to next message

Hi,

This question is related to http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/511895/

The CSS definition below works like a charm:

Composite.backgroundImage{
	background-color: #123456;
	background-image: url( images/my-image.jpg );
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: center center;
}

How do I size the Composite based on the image size though? If I specify the parent's layout as FillLayout the background image is perfectly centered, surrounded by background-color (as expected), and if I specify the parent's layout as GridLayout the dialog shows up as a 100*100 section of my-image.

I am sure there is a solution, I just haven't figured it out yet.

As always, you help is highly appreciated.


Kind Regards,

Erwin

Hi.

If you know the size of the image you can just give the Composite a
GridData with width/height hints. I don't think it's possible to make it
set the size automatically based on a theming image.

Greetings,
Tim

Thanks for your reply Tim,

That is what I am doing now. It is not optimal because I have to tell the graphix guy to stick to those dimensions. It is workable though.

Cheers,

Erwin

I guess you could use setBackgroundImage instead of theming, in which
case the size of the image is known.

Greetings,
Tim

Tim,

Yes, I could do that, but than I would loose the capability to brand the app through CSS (unless I am missing something here...).

Regards,

Erwin
