I have 9 pngs water drop images, and I would like to make a "swim" full screen widget. QUESTIONS: 1) Is possible using the "swim" widget's optionto make the drops going only from up to down and in a steady vertical position like in real life..? 2) Can we combine all the 9 images so they will appear randomly..? Thank you!

I think it will be better to attach them into a slider and make a full screen widget. I went through the docs, but couldn't find anything about swim direction |

Hi DG! Thanks for the quick reply.. The fact is that with the widget->"swim" option as you know the images floating randomly. I'm almost sure that should be a way to control the movement though script, but as it seems from my topic here I don't know how..

Hi hamid! If you check my attach file you will see that are 9 different water drop images like this one:  So I was thinking to make a full screen images where the drops will fall from top to bottom like a rain effect on screen! Imagine like a "swim" widget (without use the "keep on screen" swim option), but the images will move only in a vertical random position. The best of course is to have also random the start point of the drop. Other will start fall from the top, other from the middle.. Just think a rain effect on the screen..

couldn't imagine this with swim effect maybe you want it to create wind but why don't you create a png animation or a gif? |

I told you practically I can create 9 animated pngs with the fall animation.. But we can make their appearance ramdom on screen..? (I was thinking the swim option to give you an idea about how it will look..) Quote: couldn't imagine this with swim effect maybe you want it to create wind This is the question..If is possible to control their movement though script.. |

for the fall animation, we can also use progressbar: Attachment: but i think creating animation file is better maybe it uses less resources jimking wrote: I told you practically I can create 9 animated pngs with the fall animation.. But we can make their appearance ramdom on screen..? if you create animation file for each of the images, then it can be done randomizing will be done like the broken screen widget edit1: Note: in above attachment i have rotated the images to be used on up-to-down progressbar ============ edit2: i don't know why i used progressbar for this we can use image object for this without rotating image: Attachment: but still i think creating animation file will be better |

Both test files are great!! How about the control of the fall speed...? Quote: if you create animation file for each of the images, then it can be done randomizing will be done like the broken screen widget It's not so hard but surely requires some time.. I'm really curious to see which of the two modes use less resources.. Since it will cover all the screen's height (x768) and the number of the pngs will be high, maybe the anim png is worst.. But I need to test it first.. |

here's with more images, but doesn't added random image Attachment: i think cpu usage is high for it plz test it =========== Quote: How about the control of the fall speed...? fall speed can be set using: 1. image position increment, ex: image1.Top+=12 2. setTimeout execution time, ex: setTimeout("Rainfall",20) |

Testing your last file "raindrop_[test3] [2014.07.11].xwp" the cpu usage is 0~2%!!  I will make some more tests decreasing the speed and adding the various pngs and I'll reply as soon as possible... |

I made some little changes to the script and edited the scale % of some images to be more realistic.. Cpu usage=0% Next steps: - Randomize their movement on x-axis? <- -> - (more complicated) With mouse click appear of a random water drop (like the "Broken Screen") I try to study the script from the "Broken Screen" widget and copy the function but is a bit confusing for me...

Quote: Cpu usage=0% Cpu Usage will be different on different PCsmine is also 0 but you can see usage better on a graph it's not high, but i think it shouldn't be this for a widget (that will be always running) can you create a gif or png animation to test it with that? and why don't you use animation effect (like your rocket_recycle_bin widget)? i'm not so familiar with animation effects of xwidget, so i can't use it myself jimking wrote: - Randomize their movement on x-axis? <- -> why should it move on x-axis?their speed make me imagine it as water-drops, not raindrops are they going to be water-drops? then why they should move on x-axis? do you mean zigzag? can you show the movement in an image? Quote: - (more complicated) With mouse click appear of a random water drop (like the "Broken Screen") 1. should it start from click position?2. do you mean random image files? they are not so different in shape |

Quote: why should it move on x-axis? their speed make me imagine it as water-drops, not raindrops are they going to be water-drops? then why they should move on x-axis? do you mean zigzag? can you show the movement in an image? I was thinking more like raindrops.. (But even as a water-drops the water falls randomly..) I mean that their vertical position will change. They will drop from a random left/right position. For now, each drop keeps the same x-asis position. (up&down movement in a steady x-asis) Quote: 1. should it start from click position? 2. do you mean random image files? they are not so different in shape 1. Yes (double click is better) 2. I know.. Not all but maybe 2-3 different images.. Quote: can you create a gif or png animation to test it with that? and why don't you use animation effect (like your rocket_recycle_bin widget)? I can do it but it needs time.. I have to create a transparent image with GIMP with 768 height resolution as my laptop. Image that I have to start from top, and using the keyboard move it lower and lower, and save each image.. I think that we will need +200png images for each kind of drop!!!  Since is working fine with your own way, the cpu is ~0%, why do all this work... |

i just found how to use animation effects of xwidget for images but really doesn't useful it uses very high Cpu usage (about 50% of mine) so using the code is better for now i have added the code for disable widget when it's hide this way we could make lower cpu usage when it's hidden Quote: I was thinking more like raindrops.. (But even as a water-drops the water falls randomly..) I mean that their vertical position will change. They will drop from a random left/right position. For now, each drop keeps the same x-asis position. (up&down movement in a steady x-asis) 1. Yes (double click is better) 2. I know.. Maybe 2-3 different images.. ok, now i'm working on it |

Ok thanks! I'm waiting for the "test5"... Quote: i just found how to use animation effects of xwidget for images but really doesn't useful it uses very high Cpu usage (about 50% of mine) Yes I know.. These switch/animations option are almost useless. You need a certain design, size and function to use them with low cpu. One thing that I wish for the v2.0 of XW is low consumption for the effects.. |

ok, it's ready: Attachment: ========= Changes: Added: Disabling/Enabling on Hide/Show to save Cpu Usage when it's Hidden Added: MenuItem to Clear Screen Added: MenuItem to Set Number of images Added: Code to automatically create imageObjects Added: Code for Random ImageFile Usage Added: Code for Random Speed, Position for each Object Added: Widget LockPosition and MouseThrough Removed: Extra ImageObjects from widget =========== Note: -Adding more than 10 ImageObjects will cause cpu usage go high (for me getting 20-30%) |

Visualy is reallly GREAT! And your script is rock! But I can't activate the right click option or click on the widget(move)..  Maybe of this "Added: Widget LockPosition and MouseThrough"...? |

Quote: yes, it' MouseThrough you can activate widget by pressing Ctrl button same way as BrokenScreen widget Yes you're right.. I forgot it! Quote: also if you add about 100 imgObjects RightClick Menu and even Click of mouse may not work this is because of high cpu usage Yes it's logical. I will keep it in mind.. Excellent work as always bro!

Here's the new version: Attachment: ========== Changes: Added: Cleaner Code and Menuitem to clean the drops on mouseenter Added: the Mouse Cursor for Cleaner fixed: Saveini() have been missed in previous code, -> i don't know how it works without it, maybe it doesn't require anymore, -> but i added it for compatibility with old versions ============ |
