Hello, I have tried multiple renditions on the following post: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=AF72839689AE3F3839E945D&currentPage=1 I can't seem to get it to work. I have only one use of the "BT_menu_buttons" plugin in my App so I don't even need it to be complicated to only work on certain screens. I simply want there to be four different backgrounds (2 for iPhone (P&L), 2 for iPad(P&L)). So what I need is the code that would choose the device and then change the background image based on the orientation of the device. I also need to know which file to put that code in within XCode. I have tried putting the sample code from above in various different files and with various different minor edits but can't seem to get it to work. Anyone who can help, I would be most appreciative.

Well, there is a lot of code around to detect the device, and the screen and all that. I'd say start using the 'layoutScreen' method. It's documented on line 182-ish of the BT_rotatingTabBarController.m file in most projects... It will be called when someone rotates the device; whatever device. So when it's called, detect device, detect rotation, and implement what you want to see happen. Cheers! -- Smug You would use 'layoutScreen' in your plugin. So, if you want some specific behavior for ALL screens, for the moment all I can say is you'll need to change all screen plugins. Maybe someone else knows where to place code for a global effect...

Is your reason for doing this because of the dimension difference between landscape and portrait, or because you genuinely need different images? The way I do it is I use a square image set to center. For example my regular iPhone background image@2x would be 960x960 and centered. That way no matter the rotation, the image fills the screen without distorting. I create generally create the following background images: iPhone 5: 1136x1136 [email protected] iPhone 4: 960x960 [email protected] iPhone: 480x480 background.png iPad Retina: 2048x2048 background@2x~ipad.png iPad: 1024x1024 background~ipad.png Hope this helps.

Thank you for the suggestions. The square image won't work (but a great idea that I hadn't thought of). I honestly can't figure out where to put the code. I am assuming it would go in the BT_screen_menubuttons.m since it isn't a tabbed view I am using. I seems like it should be so simple but everywhere I put any type of code I find, it doesn't work. And basically I need to name four files in my BT_config file in teh end as well. I have tried creating a couple of new fields "backgroundImageNameLargeDeviceP" for portrait, etc. I am unsure if just adding that to my BT_config file and then referencing an "if...iPad and rotates...then use...filename" It seems easy to me but I can't get it to work. So frustrating as the background image goes all crunched up when rotated otherwise. Thanks for any other suggestions.

Hi pocket. Did you get this figured out? Unfortunately the square image isn't working for me either. I'm using the BT Design Menu and I would really like to have my background image resizing correctly as I don't want to lock the device orientation.

you would put it in it's own method. -(void)viewDidLoad { blah blah blah... } -(void)viewWillAppear { blah blah blah... } -(void)LayoutScreen { [self doSomething]; } Hope this helps! Cheers! -- Smug
