Slider in linux build

Post by magice » Thu Sep 02, 2010 1:07 am

I am working on a program that utilizes the eraser tool to erase an area of an image in one stack to reveal the part that is erased in a second stack. I have included a slider control to adjust the eraser size between 1 and 4. Everything works great in the windows build, but in the Linux build the slider just shows up as a gray rectangle without a handle. Anyone know of some trick i need to do to get the slider to work in Linux?

Hi magice,
no take until now.
Here is a slider I made that you could use and should work in any operating system.
See stack and comments in the group script. Any changes I would consider to make if not too complicated.
regards
Bernd

All I can say is Wow. I never expected anyone to actually make a custom control for me. Bernd you are the best. Thank you very much.

Which Linux?

Using Ubuntu 10.04 sliders look pretty good.

Using Linux Mint Version Helena. I would think that if they work in ubuntu they should work in mint. The problem may be that I am using an older version of RunRev (3.0) and since I am using it on someone elses computer, I don't feel comfortable updating it.
