LiteStep Popup Menu Problem

Hello,
The popup menu does not adjust to the size of the contents. If a menu item is long, it gets truncated. How do i set the menu so that it adapts to its contents?

You need to be using an Indie build to get an adaptive popup otherwise you'll get the effect your talking about.

'PopupAdaptiveWidth'

opupMaxWidth
opupMinWidth
[or]...if it's an older build..
;MaxPopupWidth
;MinPopupWidth

These lines are what normally fixes the size...

Jafo;

I never got the older (pre-Indie) builds to work for adaptive widths.

Of course...that 'may' have been a 3rd-party popup version....I'll have to dust off one of my 'old' themes...

more details:

PopupAdaptiveWidth true ; use this setting for adaptive width
PopupMaxWidth 600 ; maximum width of the popup menu
PopupMinWidth 123 ; minimum width of the popup menu
PopupBorderLeft 27 ; the amount of pixels to leave untouched left
PopupBorderRight 16 ; the amount of pixels to leave untouched left
PopupPaintMode tile ; the middle can be either stretched or tiled


jcg: adaptive width always worked with the older builds. the problem was that it only stretched the whole image, it was not possible to have borders on the left or right side. so the results were rather ugly, if you used bitmaps for the menu.

Moshi....I decided to make use of the adaptive function in the new build...with the Borders, etc....sure can be a lot of fun, too...will include it in my next theme's popup....[Coming as soon as I get full 'OK' from Misery]...
