ToonKit Troubleshooting

When I drag the components around the head and drop them at a desired position they sometimes continue to move for several pixels in the same direction.

This happens only on slower computers and is caused by a time lag between the computer processing your commands and the entry of your commands, such as the movement of a mouse or trackball. This phenonomen is exagerated due to the relatively low processing power of browsers. To prevent components continuing to move after you have dropped them simply move them around the screen at a slower pace - you will be able to identify the optimum speed with practice.


Occasionaly a section of the menu selection panel, usually a menu button, remains on the screen obscuring part of the ToonKit face.

Simply close the menu using the appropriate button and then open it again.


Sometimes when I try to position a component - particularly the hair - high up within the ToonKit working area it 'bounces back' to its original position.

This happens when any component is placed outside of the working area. The area above the head may look like there is plenty of room - but remember that the speech bubble must go there for the purposes of ToonKard. As the upper boundary is not indicated the best way to move the element is to drag and drop it a little bit at a time when you feel that you are getting near it. This way the component doesn't bounce back to its original position.


When I go move one of the components, for example the nose, the mouth moves instead.

The ToonKit face is built up of rectangular layers containing components. These layers are transparent and they extend beyond the visible outline of the component, framing the image. Sometimes by selecting a component the overlapping transparent layer of a different component is inadvertently chosen. If this happens, simply try to pick up the component from a different point.
