Overlay?

[Juun]

Is there a way to move the overlay.png? I can see it in the corner, but how can I place it right on top of the cover?

Help is much appreciated!

Hi Juun and welcome to the forum!

Unless you don't use the new CAD 3.0 beta, which suppoerts an overlay directly drawn over the cover, you have to use the case dimensions and the cover position it it as a reference.
That means you have to create an overlay image which has the dimensions of your case, and you have put the overlay in there, right where your cover is positioned.

I always do the following:
- Open the case.png
- Put the overlay as a layer in it (above the case layer)
- When the position is ok -> delete the case layer (so only the overlay remains)
- Save as overlay.png

CAD 3.0 beta offers the coveroverlay.png, which must have the same dimensions as the cover in your skin. It will automatically drawn over the cover then. Both graphics (overlay.png and coveroverlay.png) has to be in your skin's root folder.

Example for the 2.0 overlay: Revtin
The 3.0 coveroverlay: Behind the Scenes

So the way to create and use an overlay depends on which CAD version you use.

Great I was able to bring some light into this.
Hope to see the overlay in action when your skin is finished.
