It requires getting inside Julian's head and traversing the back roads and laneways, all the while ignoring the background hum.
Help File:
loadIcon() //note, not loadLogo()UsagerootIcon.loadIcon(fileName)ParametersfileName The graphic to load into the top left corner of the screen as a logo for your learning object. // aha, logo. A clue. Now go look for logo.
etc

Thanks, that helps. I used a 0.1 second Time Limit interaction with the script icon that sets the location and drop shadow, so it’s all working now. From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Dave Burnett

Subject: [Xerte] Can I use methods to modify an image inserted using rootIcon.loadIcon( )? Xerte Desktop 2.17I’ve loaded a small graphic using rootIcon.loadIcon(), but it sits a bit too high and too far to the right. Can I use the move() method to change its position and add a drop shadow with dropShadow()? Is there an internal reference to this object? I’ve tried creating my own by both: customLogo = rootIcon.loadIcon(FileLocation + ‘media/myLogo.png’); and: rootIcon.loadIcon(FileLocation + ‘media/myLogo.png’).id = “customLogo”;  followed by: customLogo.move(10,10);customLogo.dropShadow(4, 135, 0x000000, 80); The logo appears, but its position is unchanged and no drop shadow has been applied. Do I have to modify the graphic in an image processing program? No big deal, but easier to just move it around in Xerte since I can see it in relation to the interface (using the default interface).
