import direct.directbase.DirectStart
from direct.gui.DirectGui import *
from pandac.PandaModules import *

geom = loader.loadModel('button')
indicator = loader.loadModel('indicator')

button = DirectCheckButton(
	relief = None,
	boxRelief = None,
	geom = geom,
	indicator_geom = indicator)

button.indicator.setPos(0)
button.bounds = Vec4(button.guiItem.getFrame())

button.indicator['text'] = '' # change the default asterisk text
button.indicator.guiItem.getStateDef(0).removeNode() # remove the indicator geom of the 0 state

run()

Use this :

base.mouseWatcherNode.showRegions(render2d,'gui-popup',0)

and see.

So what now?

[ynjh_jo]

You missed 2 lines (bounds adjustment), that’s what.

[Anon]

This?:

button.bounds.setX(button.indicator.bounds[0]-button.indicator['borderWidth'][0])
button.guiItem.setFrame(button.bounds)

still aint right:

@Anon

still aint right:

that’s the default asterisk’s bounds contribution.
To prevent it, pass indicator_text = ‘’ to the constructor.

doesnt change anything

@Anon

doesnt change anything

It does, so the top & bottom borders equal to the left, which is the borderWidth.

Its still not the same size.
I dont know, im completely confused on skinning this particular gui element.
