Default images sizes

Hello everyone,

I just started creating a widget. I've read the Quick Start Guide, and found that the following images are used by a widget:
1. logo.png - used at the top of the sidebar;
2. loading.png - used as a transitional image while dock is loading;
3. placeholder.png - used for view-specific and profile-specific snippet images;
4. icon.png - used for the widget gallery, on about page, and other OEM-specific contexts.

What I haven't found is the size these images must have. Except for the icon.png which must be 44x44 pixels, I have no idea for the others...
Please guide me to where I can find this information.
Also it is not clear to me which image will appear on my application's snippet view, I suppose it's the placeholder.png file?

Regards,
Florin

  • Hello,

    You can find dimensions here:

    There are also example PSD files provided here:

    The loading.png and placeholder.png are the same size as your snippet image and are not required. More details can be found here:

    Your snippet is defined in your snippet view as shown here:

    CODEBOX
    /**
     * @author jstone
     */

    var StaticDefaultSnippet = new KONtx.Class({
    	title: 'StaticDefaultSnippet',
    	
    	Extends: KONtx.system.SnippetView,
    	
    	createView: function() {
    		var container = new KONtx.element.Container({
    			styles: $finance.styles.snippet.container,
    		}).appendTo( this );
    		new KONtx.element.Image({
    			src: $finance.styles.images.snippet_placeholder,
    			styles: $finance.styles.snippet.placeholder,
    		}).appendTo(container);
    	}
    });


    Use the Sample Widgets as your guides:

    Hope this helps,
