Resize2Full

Heres a small script I wrote for Evo that resizes your layout to 100%.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------
//Resize2Full.m
//
// A small script to resize a layout to its full 100%.
//
// Thanks to Gonzotek for giving some maki resize code for this.
// created by Hammerhead aka Kabir Chanrai
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
// USING THIS SCRIPT:
//********************************************************************
// 1.Make sure your container which contains the layout is called 'main',
// and the layout 'normal'. If they are not, change them, or redefine
// them in the .m .
//
// 2.Define the following in your XML layout Normal:
// <button
// id="player.main.resizetofull"
// image="player.resize2full"
// downimage="player.resize2full.down"
// x="?" y="?"
// />
// 3. Copy this script (and Resize2Full.maki) to your scripts folder.
// 4. If you don't have Resize2Full.maki, compile this script.
// 5. Add this line to your script.xml, or anywhere outside the main
// container:
//
// <script id="resize2full" file="scripts/Resize2Full.maki"/>
//
//6. Refresh your skin(F5) and try it out.

Have fun!

Animated Buttons

Hi!

I'm trying to make some animated buttons. There's attached a zip with 3 pngs. They will be the stages i wish:
-Normal. File 'button_play.png'
-Mouseover. File 'button_play_over.png' (5 frames) 105x120 pixels.
-Pressed. File 'button_play_pressed.png'

I tried to use a sample available at this site, but it is old code, and it works for all states animated.

Maybe this is not the exact thread for this question (really i requested help on the thread of my 'Noia working on', but i guess a MAKI with animated buttons will be very useful for newbies as me.

BTW, this thread is very helpful. Thanks to share the scripts! I used the Animated Volume and Drawer... thanks!

the file, sorry

Argh, as seems to be happening more often, I'm getting behind on stuff around here. My 1 week away turned into a bit more than that(over 2, hehe). Anyways, are you still interested in the EQ script we were talking about, iPlay? If so, lemme know and I'll take a swing at it.
Hey Carlitus, what you want to do isn't too tough. Instead of using a regular button, you could just do this all with your Animated Layer, then use MAKI to make it work as a Play Button. The EQ script for iPlayTheSpoons is my priority at the moment(if there is still an interest), then I'll get on this and give you an example of what I mean.
Also, to all of you who have been keeping this thread alive and posting your scripts, thanks Could I trouble you to take all those you've created and send them to me? Either PM me a link to a ZIP or PM me and I'll give you an email address to send them to. Since this thread is getting bigger than I ever imagined, it is getting tricky to find a script when you need it. I was thinking of organizing and hosting all of the scripts on my website(giving credit to the script creators of course) so that people could find them easier. This thread could then be used for MAKI questions and discussion of said scripts. It's just an idea, and if most people prefer it not be done that way, that's cool with me too.
Good to be back,

definately still intrested...thats the big reason Aeschere is still on hold. huge thanks frisbee

[frisbeemonkey]

No problem, thanks for your patience. By the way, Aeschere(which keeps getting "Asche zu Asche" stuck in my head every time I read the name) is looking really cool, I like it Anyways, I'll get this to you as soon as possible. What's another day or two, right?

No problem, frisbeemonkey. Don't worry. I'm asking for a maki like this here, because i'm so newbie programming, and i have some haste. I thinked maybe this will be interesting for other newbies as me.
I'm trying to do it myself, and it works . It is not excesively hard to do. Maybe i'm learning . Now, it only remains to stop the animation at right frame.

I hope this is the correct forum, is there a way of changing the default vis colour another?

Thanks

Please don't post random questions in the sticky threads.

First search the forums (http://forums.winamp.com/search.php) for something like "change vis colours", and you'll sure find the answer.
If you really don't find it, post a new thread instead.

I've got an idea for a script that might solve a slight problem ppl have been having for a long time. A drop shadow for the mouse. It's nothing to insane, but it'd be cool to write something that takes the .onmouseover command and then rends an image at that point that resembles a mouse shadow. Anybody??

[iPlayTheSpoons]

what if you have a different cursor? or a different platform? anyways...win2000/xp does it already

[Digitalhigh]

Good point... Yeah, I realized all of these things about an hour after I made the post.

you cant use cursors yet.. at least until someone finds a way to do it cross os. but I had an idea- how about a layer that follows the cursor, on top of it?
