Edit Graphics
 
Samurize supports a number of static graphic objects (Background Objects) to be used in the background of configs. They are static in the sense that they are only rendered once when Samurize starts up in order to save resources.

Note that the Background Objects cannot be placed on top of Meters. To add a Background Object to your config, click on the Add Background Object button and select the Background Object you want to add.


 
After adding the object, it will be automatically selected. The Tools & Settings area to the right of the Design Area will now have settings applicable to the object you have selected.

Shape Properties General properties for all non-image Background Objects.
Filled When checked, the Background Object is filled with the selected color.
Select Color... Clicking this button lets you choose the color of the Background Object.
Alpha blending Alpha blending level or transparency (0-255)
X/Y The coordinates of the upper-left corner of the Background Object.
Width/Height The dimensions of the Background Object.
Roundness The "roundness" of the corners of the Background Object (rounded rectangles only)
 
Image Properties Image properties. Transparency in GIF, 32-bit PNG and ICO files is supported. *
Image Filename The name of the image.
Master Alpha Alpha blending level or transparency (0-255)
X/Y The coordinates of the upper-left corner of the image.
Width/Height The dimensions of the image.
Reset Size Resets the image to its original size.
 
Line Properties Properties defining a line.
Angle The angle of inclination of the line.
Line Width The width of the line in pixels.

* Note that image Background Objects are static - they will not update when the image file changes on disk. If you want the image to be dynamic (or if you want to place the image on top of other Meters), use a Text Meter, set its Draw Type to Image and assign it a default image.
