svg help

[nba1991]

is it possible to make the svg icons scroll faster? when i export it, it seems laggy. also while in composer, can i add the status text for icons?

[sabisgeek]

not in composer, but in theme builder, under the Theme the Home screen tab, under the text extras tab. That's for your second question

i know, but i have some text in my svg that i want to hide when i highlight an application, and return when the name fades away

[sabisgeek]

Are the theme buttons created in Composer as well? If so, then you can control what you show and hide in the buttons events.

@legend... yes there are buttons in composer but you cannot control the text of them

@nba... so let me get this right.

you have some text... that is showing all the time. You want it to disappear when the user taps and icon... and then return after the text for the icon fades away?

[nba1991]

yes static, that is exactly what i want

[StaticFX]

ok this is a little tricky. The code that TB uses has the icon text fade in /out in the course of 5 seconds. so you need to hide yours for 5 seconds...

<animate xlink:href="#YOURTEXTID" attributeName="opacity" values="0;1" keyTimes="0;1" dur="0.5s" begin="APPBTN.focusin" fill="freeze"/>
<animate xlink:href="#YOURTEXTID" attributeName="opacity" values="1;0" keyTimes="0;1" dur="0.5s" begin="APPBTN.focusin +4.5s" fill="freeze"/>

a few notes: this will "overlap" the effect. meaning.. your text will fade out as the app name fades in.. then reverse.

THIS MUST BE DONE FOR EACH APP ICON YOU HAVE IN YOU SVG!
Change the BLUE word to the name of you app btn.. copy/paste and replace the name for each of your apps.

So, if you have 5 icons on the homescreen in your svg, you will need these line repeated 5 times.. each with a different app name for focus in.

ook thanks alot static, ill try that

[nba1991]

im using device application order, so what app name do i enter?

[StaticFX]

the name of the buttons...
like

Theme_Button_1
Theme_Button_2
etc
etc

the names of each button in the svg.

get it?

[nba1991]

ook i do thanks...is there anyway to make my svg icons scroll faster? it seems like it lags.

[StaticFX]

the more you have the slower it goes... if using composer, the limit is around 12-15

[nba1991]

ook...i try the code u gave before for the status text and it doesnt work right...this is what i put,

<animate xlink:href="#YOURTEXTID" attributeName="opacity" values="0;1" keyTimes="0;1" dur="0.5s" begin="Theme_Button_1.focusin" fill="freeze"/>
<animate xlink:href="#YOURTEXTID" attributeName="opacity" values="1;0" keyTimes="0;1" dur="0.5s" begin="Theme_Button_1.focusin +4.5s" fill="freeze"/>

I did this for all my buttons and a error comes out saying..."Error: The element <animate> named "$unnamed$" has a reference to "YOURTEXTID" which is not found.

What did i do wrong?

[sabisgeek]

You have to replace YOURTEXTID with, well, your text id, which is (I think) the name of the rectangle holding the text, if it is a rectangle. What you are doing is telling it (YOURTEXTID) to fade out, but in your SVG there is no such thing, so you need to replace YOURTEXTID with the name of the object that has the text inside it.
Hope this helps!
