[help] Desklet Alpha Effect

Is it possible to change the alpha transparency value of a desklet as an onmouseover-effect? Like a fade from 100 to 200 or something... I haven't figured out a way by myself yet.

In the effects folder, there are some "*.effectlet" files which consist of XML and Script. GlowScript.effectlet e.g. adds more glow on some occasions and should do for an example on how to achieve scripted effects, but a non-focus mouse-over is not among the available events, I'm afraid.

You can however recode the glow portions of the effectlet to transarency, apply the effect to the desklet and set the desklet to have "hover selection", thus you'll have what you wanted.

Thanks for the help, herd. But I am afraid that recode is beyond my capabilities... Maybe any of the talented programmers here could provide some help?
