Output text resizing

Hello again,

I was wondering how to adjust the size of the output window so that I can place my plugins above, below, .. around, the edges of it. Is this done with a miniwindow or is it just a way to resize the output and add a background image behind all the plugins?

thanks!

The documentation for the TextRectangle script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.

Thank you Nick. I appreciate the point to the right direction.

If I look at how either RoD or Aardwolf have done this, it seems if I want to do this, it's based on making this a overarching plugin that controls all (if others) miniwindows and plugins that would be around the main output window.

I really like the way that AardMUSH does it with the ability to change the size and placement of all plugins (and then be able to reset them if something goes wrong).

I suppose I will have to start looking deeper into creating myself a client if I want to progress with this part.

For now, I suppose I should work on all the different plugins I want working first.

Cheers,

I can't speak for RoD, but the Aardwolf main output control plugin does not control other miniwindows.

Oh, you are very right... aard_layout is all on it's own.

I just am getting a bit overwhelmed at all the aard_requirements, lockdown, etc. You've done such an amazing job at making these fit together so nicely!
