[Xerte] Re: Xerte Toolkits window size

Hi Gerrard

changing the stage size alone won't help you here. You'd need to edit
dragDropLabel.rlm and change various dimensions controlling image size,
textbox size, relative positions etc

It can be done but it's not as simple as just changing stage size.

Your rlt file will be called learningobject.rlt

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply. I can't see a template.rlt but do have template.xml
(tried adding the line but didn't have any effect unfortunately)

@Ron The fullscreen view does work but it just zooms the existing content
rather than allowing extra screen real estate to work with. Thanks for the
suggestion for the labels, will give that a go if there's a way to crack the
window size for XOT.

Regards,

Gerrard

Not tested this but try:

Export your LO.

Open the zip file

Extract template.rlt

In template.rlt add 

stageSize="1024,680"   // replace the values with whatever you like

to the <LO tag's properites.

Replace the rlt in the zip.

Reimport to XOT.

Hi,

I'm testing out the updated version of Xerte Toolkits but having a problem
when trying to create an interactive drag and drop activity with a large
image.

Is there any way to increase the size of the content area from the standard
800x600? I can see options in the Object properties to display full-screen
but it doesn't seem to have any effect? Problem being that I've got a
"lifecycle wheel" that our care tutors would like to have as a label
activity but it doesn't fit properly in the standard Xerte window.

(all our PCs use 19" or larger monitors at 1280x1024 so I'm not worried
about the window size being larger)

I'd also like to have 2-line labels (as some of the text is quite like),
although putting a <br> tag in the middle does the trick it also makes the
border look weird as Xerte only puts it around the first line of the label.
Is there a change I could do in the code somewhere that would make this
work?

Regards,

Gerrard Shaw
