Hi, everybody.

Does anybody knows how can I add a border color to my window pano, ?
I want a border around the pano window,

I thought that I can add it inside this line, I am not sure if it possible, if it is, could you help me with the code that will go inside:

p2q_EmbedFlash('horno3atardecer.swf','300','100','allowFullScreen','true','FlashVars',flashvars);


Thank You

That's the object/embed tag, which passes information to browser's Flash player like file size, background color, file version (for player verification), variables etc. There is no way to control borders from here.

If you want the borders within SWF files, then you need to add them using the skin editor in Pano2VR. Simply place over sized rectangular shapes (4 of them) on the borders of the stage, and set the Anchor point to make sure they maintain position while scaling. I guess 20pix x 2000pix will be just fine. Unless you want the border thicker than more than 20pix. But make sure it at least 2000 high to cover high resolutions monitors. And because it will be a single color vector, it won't add much site to the file. Barely few KBs.

If you want the border outside of the SWF then you could use the CSS margin property. Say 50 pixel on each side of the window:

<style type="text/css">
body {
margin-left: 50px;
margin-top: 50px;
margin-right: 50px;
margin-bottom: 50px;
}
</style>

Better make it 2880 pix wide, since there are monitors going up to that size now. On such a wide monitor, the border line would simply end 2000 pixels in.... so put the maximum which is 2880.

in krpano i would make a box same as you. 20px tall and only 2 pixels wide. align the box to bottomleft and set the width to 100% and it scales to the otherside of the monitor reguardless of size. even if they are using that new 1/2 moon shaped monitor with 180 degree FOV.
