Change icon for dynamic legend

PeteVitt — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 14:11:40 GMT

I'm trying to change the icon for the dynamic legend -- I've pointed the icon attribute to the icon I made (.png) and it shows up, the problem is no matter how big I make the icon, it gets scrunched up so it cant be read. Is there a location in the code somewhere where the size of the icon is hard coded or something else I'm missing? I currently have the icon at 450X120 pixels and it looks the same as when it was 150X40 px

Thanks

Pete

Pete,

All widget icons are hard coded to 40 by 40. It is set by the WidgetTemplateSkin. If you try and change this it will effect all widgets.

thanks -- someone wanted the word "Legend" spelled out -- dont know how I'm going to get that readable. The widget works great --

since I only have two widgets for this project both with custom icons I tried to modify the widgettemplateskin width and height for icons as shown below -- the icon was bigger when the legend appeared on the map, but there was no change in the icon in the menu bar on top of the map -- is there anything else I would need to change?

<mx:Image id="icon"
             ....
              width="150"
              height="40"
             ...
</mx:Image>

Thanks

Pete

Yep that is in the widgets/HeaderController/WidgetItemDataGroupRenderer.mxml
