... Add the lines below the background in the xml files. That's probably it.

Yes. Thank you. That was it. I updated my prev post, while you were making this post :lol: . Thanks

eLow could you maybe resize them for me maybe, since I only have windows paint available at the moment I'm thinking it might screw up the pngs during the process.

Thnx in advance

Patience The images I posted were for testing only. I hope you don't mind I won't resize them. Smirnoffs plug-in will in the future probably take care of the resizing for you.

Just a quick point I'd like to make. If you download and use the plugin and encounter any visual oddities please assume that it is the plugin causing them and eliminate the plugin as the culprit before creating threads about the problems on the forum!

My setup.. try it out..

 

[huh]

slow moving

thnx for great plugin.

with this

<control>
<description>background image</description>
<id>666</id>
<type>imageeffect</type>
<texture>fog2.png</texture>
<direction>up</direction>
<speed>1</speed>
</control>

is moving speed slow. I make a some mistake or speed=1 is max. speed?

 

[Smirnuff]

You are correct in that 1 is the maximum speed.

I've made more changes. The plugin now offers a 'bloat' effect. The effect is achieved by modifying the alpha value of the image:

<bloat>yes</bloat><bloatrange>200</bloatrange>

Possible values for bloat are 'yes', 'no', 'true' and 'false'. The default is 'no'.
Possible values for bloatrange are 1 thru 200. The default value is 100.

You can now specify a speed of 0 to prevent the image from moving (i.e. you only want the bloat effect).

The plugin now offers a 'bloat' effect.

Will try it out as soon as I can. BTW, can it be applied to all UI objects? Then the plug-in could also be used for a general fading in and out effect in addition to the animations. This would require an argument to specifiy the fading direction and the number of times the effect is repeated.

Hello Guys !

I love your plugin, but here comes my feature request.

I´d love to have a slideshow running in backroud, the bloat function nearly does what I want.

But how can I use 2 or more pictures with your plugin.
My problem is, that I can´t fade from one picture to the next, without having each picture bloating.

Excuse my bad english, I hope you understand...

I´d love to have for example 10 pictures in a slideshow that fades from one picture to the next an so on.

THX Tobi

Did a little experimenting with color. Here's one concept I tried out. Just did the home screen. Keep your MP windowed at 720x576 to see it as it should be. BTW, it's a skin mod mod.
