1) Tape thickness is determined by the theme. Look at api/scripts/themes.js - you can set the tape height (and you need to adjust the track height too). Putting the label inside the track requires customizing the Timeline.OriginalEventPainter.paintPreciseDurationEvent method. Basically, you just need to change the position of the label: var labelTop = Math.round(metrics.trackOffset + track * metrics.trackIncrement); and increase the thickness of the tape.
2) You should be able to do this by setting a null url for the image in the theme, and using the .timeline-event-icon class to set the background image sprite for the icon's div. 3) No, Timeline does not support this by default. You would need to do some customized javascript. I think there was some problem with timeline not correctly drawing duration events that were longer than 5x the width of their containing band. --Mike On Aug 27, 2012, at 10:49 AM, Dan Dormont wrote: > Hi folks, > > Any thoughts on this?
