Topic: Virtual chumby cases

It was a toss up as to whether this belongs in the Flash forum or not...but here goes...

Is it possible to mod the case of the virtual chumby? In other words, say I'd like to put a virtual chumby on my webpage but the blue clashes with my colours...what do I do??? Can I create my own case?

Re: Virtual chumby cases

I wanted to do this as well and I figured out how to hide the normal virtual case and have just the display centered in a 'case' of my own design.  I liked it so much that I created an entire collection of virtual Chumby with virtual cases:

Cool!  Although it doesn't work properly in Firefox 2.0.0.14 on OSX 10.4.11 (the original frame is still present).

Works fine in Safari.

Re: Virtual chumby cases

The CSS that is supposed to hide the original case is the "overflow: hidden;" specification in the div.frame class.  I guess Firefox doesn't handle that the same way as some other browsers.


div.frame {
    background: #555566;
    width: 331px;
    height: 250px;
    position: relative;
    left: 31px;
    top: 31px;
    margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
    border: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
    padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

    overflow: hidden;

}
