[release] V Animator (includes Buttonanimator V2)

This is a little app, drawing pulsed buttons, halo effects and MacOS-like progressbars for windows.

Download

*Edit

Version 0.0.25 available

New:

- Implemented changing the fontcolor

- Fixed little Buttonpulser-bugs

- Added the possibility to the user ( to you) to move and stretch the buttons live. Just hold down shift and move your cursor over them - you will understand if you see it. More information in the manual.

To update its enough to replace the dll and the VAnimConfig.exe

:woot: this is so awsome

thanks a lot

#191185

Yay ! Thank you so much ! This is awesome ! :)

#191191

Great job this is working good thanks for the proggy

#191192

This is great, Vjay!

Just an idea: Since the focused button pulses to something darker, wouldn't it be better to be able to set the text colour?

Also, changing Active font changes the font for all buttons inside a dialogue, not only the pulsing one. But who cares!? :D

#191209

I uploaded a new version, found 2 crashbugs and fixed them. Please download again.

First of all, really loving it, great job! :rock: :rock:

Secondly, use of Delphi := :woot:

Only one but, Y'zShadow doesn't like your app: Y'zShadow simply doesn't work anymore when using V Animator. Maybe no hook chaining?

#191558

Thx,

yes Delphi, why using a bicycle (correct written?) when u can use a car :-P

YzShadow:

Yep my fault, ive disabled it for debugging, so here is V 0.0.4 ^^

#191570

Vjay,

Your application is wonderful :lol:

I cannot believe this has not made the front page...

Thank you very much for delivering on a promising piece of customization control that deserves much recognition!

It has crashed explorer a few times (XP pro sp1), but nothing suprising as it is mentioned in your readme text and I can see where this application is leading. (even halo effects around text boxes? ;) ) You have the potential to make a lot of people very happy and grateful (of course, even more so than we already are)...

I for one wish you the best, and look forward to your future suprises.

Using Ys shadow no probs. Great little app...thanks Vjay. :canadian:

#192098

Wow. The first version was awesome. This one is what we were all waiting for, a new step in the Aqua-emu : real aqua-looking controls. THANKS !!

And halo around textbox would be a nice idea indeed ;)

Only a (very) small glitch I've noticed, with the progress bars :

bug.jpg

Can you see the dark-blue vertical line on the right of the vertical progress bar, and on the top of the other ?

This line has the same progress as the non-skinned progress bar, seems like a remaining pixel...

I've tested this with two skins, BPanther and Tiger, same results. But it is really a small glitch :)

Keep it up !

EDIT : it's definitly a skin problem. Don't care.

Amazing app... the progress are just beautifull... but, bug report... somehow it scrambles iTunes with MultiPlugin. The top bar just became like a BIIIG button.

Anyway... amazing app (have i said that before??) :D

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yeah, same bug

you may want to check with localhost to work on a fix.

#192161

First thanks for the flowers :)

Ok, i hope i found the explorer-crashbug. But i cant test it, this is your task =)Please download again.

iTunes - i have to confess that i never used it ^^

Ok two things i can say to that.

A ) The buttondetection-code (its job is to decide which buttons i have to draw and which ones i dont touch) is not very good at the moment. When iTunes uses the Button-Class for its caption, then VAnim surely thinks it must draw a button.

B ) I will make an exlude-list where u can add applications, which buttons arent drawn by me.

Until A ) improves or B ) is included you can try to switch of the autosize-checkbox for buttons, then you maybe have a small Button ^^.But you then have buttons with to long captions again. ;)

Hope you still have fun with this.

Im working on it :rock:

Thanks for this cool app.

I like it a lot but my progressbars are not animated.

Maybe i have to try another theme...

ps. lower saxony rocks!!! :rock:

greetings to hannover!

#192338

I really like ur app BUT... i think it mustnt be active in the tasjkbar the old one was nearby a system implemented feeling cause u didnt see anything. OK i know i can turn it off. BUT another question: HOW ABOUT SCROLLBARS THE SAME APPLE EFFECT WITH SCROLLBARS that would be great....!!!!

Greets and THX for the great app..!

#192339

And after the scrollbars and the halo, this app wil grow, grow, become skinable, etc... And voila, you have WindowBlinds in better ! :D

#192341

;) maybe

But the first goal is to get it stable and go into betastate.

#192343

A new release is aviable. Look at the first post for details.

Hope it does everything you want it to. When not, the source is also included now and you can do everything yourself :-P.

The halo effect (not the game >.<) is really asskicking..
