Iblend

Sorry folks... I moved the topic and then I accidently hit back and deleted the old thread.. :cry:

SIWU, you made an incredible app with a potential we were all wishing for, for years now - perhaps in the next releases you think it'll be possible to select the titlebar only for transperacy? (just like in the OSX) :own:

THANK you siwu, and once again - I'm sorry for the inconvenience! :busted:

Get it here - again:

no problem and thank you for your support

the titlebar thing is not possible yet, only because the transparency is a window attribute, not for only a part. anyway, i'm still looking for some possibility, but it could be very slow

i'll let you know.

for the time being, the transparency will apply to the whole window, and i have to fix the dock and shadow issue and make an exclusion system

for those who complain, remember it's only a preview of the effect, not a full working app

EDIT:

sorry, forgot the real link: iBlend.exe (20 kb)

#26932

i was just wondering if i was doing any thing wrong,

when i was running it this was happenig.

it's sound for me that it running bad whit yz's apps.......

but maybe i'm wrong.

Keep it up siwu (Y)

peace

#26935

no sputnik,

this is just a pre-release of beta... he didnt even think about doing it but he gave it a shot to see hows it working out.

He'll add exclusions so you can remove yz shadows/wfx2 or the docks, so you can use it without any intereference :own:

#26946

I can't get it working on my machine, but of course it is working in ur machine. :canadian: maybe you can provide some screenshots to show what the program does :surfer_dude:

thanks

#26948

wow, this app is going to be so awsome

Keep it up once again :rule:

peace

#26949

Ok guys, i've implemented a exclusion system and now it works with shadows and dock.

All you have to do is launch iBlend BEFORE y'z apps and dock, and it should work flawlessly. at least in theory

the link is the same

EDIT:

hmmm, the same in my post, not in goku's one

iBlend.exe (24 kb)

EDIT (again...):

oops, seems i have forgot a debug messagebox, fixed

#26963

hey thats getting better and better now dude you're getting into front news :busted: - Try having the app remember and stay in sys tray for next time. See if you can browse for .exe rather than "get windows".

GREAT JOB!! ww000tt!

#26967

nice update, is it gonna support explorer to?

i will love to see transparency in my explorer windows,

but i can be patiently waiting, take youre time man

Keep it up :own:

peace

for sure, beta releases will be in tray

but by now it's not even pre alpha

about the exclusion system, there will be in a file with syntax like that:

title=Some app

class=Some class

filename=somepath and filename

so you will be able to exclude by the title app, the class or the filename

but it's not for now

explorer windows are not blended because of y'z toolbar :/

for now i dunno how to fix this but if you want blended explorer windows, disable it

#26970

Great - hopefully it can include the shell windows, so there can be a real low level that will include bascially the vast majority of the windows.

If thats done thats its REALLY kicking ass. :bow:

-----------------

Another thing, thats for the farther releases, is if possible to use only titlebar.

I'm sure i repeat myself, but just to make sure I list everything in one post.

:canadian:

We'll all be looking for the updates ! :staffs here:

i'm sorry but it's not possible, that question have been asked in the previous thread.

windows only allow to blend the whole window, it's a window property (set via SetWindowLong()), not a "region property".

however I think it is possible by getting a screenshot of the titlebar and blend it with for example a proper blending engine, disable the app titlebar and replace it... but it would use to much cpu and it's too complicated

but smoke said that longhorn support partial window blending, so maybe

Well hopefully.. if MrAqua is having a come back, he'll release his falcon, which may possibly be independent from explorer.

Sorry to nag about the titlebar again, :lol: , but will that be restricetd by Yz toolbar as well? or is it propable to use it independently?

#26973

that`s gonna be a great program... (Y)

but yea and if you could do only the titilebar, you would kick ass ! :woot:

hmm I think I have been misunderstood, actually iBlend CAN blend explorer windows, but only if you disable y'z toolbar

for now I dunno how to make y'z toolbar work with iBlend, and it's not my priority

oh, and by blending, i mean alpha-blending, transparency if you want

All understood -

Take your time and do what needs to be done your way. :order:

#26979

Sweet ass app so far siwu! Looking forward to its progress.

:bow:

#26983

hmmm strange, it doesn't want to blend explorer windows anymore.... the bad thing is that it that worked perfect 20 mins ago

EDIT:

and now it works

#26996

okay i investigated a while and it turns out that y'z toolbar work perfectly with iBlend

here i made a screenshot:
