New in LC7: custom status bar

Post by MaxV » Tue Oct 28, 2014 10:20 am

Hi,
I just noted that now we can set the Android status bar using a custom PNG image:

Do you know how exactly work? For example image size, transparency or what else is needed to work without problems...

Hi Max,

This option has been present for some time and only defines the icon that displays when you receive a push or local notification :)

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger

I never found documentation anywhere about this, even the LiveCode lessons are outdated @ https://livecode.com/resources/guides/m ... plication/ , but did find this helpful link to suggested sizes: http://iconhandbook.co.uk/reference/chart/android/

It seems that the larger your make the image, the more zoomed in the initial push icon image appears but the status bar icon will always show your full square image. Making my image 48x48 gave the coolest zoom effect for my particular usage.
