iBlend is a great app !!! Weeehoooo Thanks!

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

Pack:

Those icons are great, but how about with the concept of a Blender or a friendly Ghost. Coffee always reminds me of Java.

#27986

great idea I'll work on blender now

#27989

well heh.. good idea vid.

here is somehing i made real quick.

if you haven noticed, the inactive titlebar IS REALLY transparent.

I really, REALLY like the round iB icon by pack

and really, REALLY like the goku's ones

I have an idea:

sine I need a main program icon, and icons for the enabled/disabled effect..

I think I will choose pack's iB icon as the main program icon, and goku's one for the effect :)

goku, can you make me 2 .ico files:

-one when the effect is enabled

-one when it's disabled

oh, I forgot, then you very much for the developper badge, I really appreciate :)

Hey, great update. It runs even better. Keep them coming, this app is becoming a must have for my aqua arsenal. 

Could you see if theres some way to do multimonitor support, like disabeling transparency on one monitor/video card, because im running a Geforce4MX and a PCI TNT2, and the PCI TNT2 cant handle the transparency.

Keep on Rockin'  :own:

I don't have a multi monitor support, so it will be difficult to implement

BUT !

i can add an option to enable blending only in a region of the screen (for example, from 0-0 to 1024-768) this way, if a window is created over that limit, the blending will be disabled on your secondary screen :)

this option will be in the 0.3 release and will have to be explicitely written in the iBlend.cfg file, like that:

enable_blending_region=1

enable_blending_from=0-0

enable_blending_to=1024-768

hope this will help ;)

#28042

thats a pretty neat idea, as is this whole app. (Y) but when the option for titlebar only is perfected, this will really rock :own:

lookin 4ward 2 the next release.

but like always, dont rush... we all can wait.

wow... yeah that's strange...

try to exclude the photoshop exe filename, and retry..

also, don't use iBlend with photo editing program... because it terribly slow down the perfs... not iBlend's fault, but blending a image cost lots of resources :)

#28059

great^^~~

I've add it in to the filename

and it works^^

and now I found another two problem||_||~~

1. I can only add 3 filename in it, when I add the fourth one..

then it comes to like this -->

2. the Explorer seems can't work sometimes....

yeah, it's a weird problem, i'll take a look this night if i have the time

i'm sorry but I have a ray tracer to code for the 25th (school project) and it's going to take my time a little :)

but I'm not forgeting iBlend, don't worry :)

by the way, if someone knows how to make a moebius ring intersection function, i'll would help VERY much :)

thx :)

#28097

Thanks so much, that would be really appreciated.

Take your time, your a great programmer.

yw dude.

I think there should be one icon.

dont feel bad choosing an icon over someone else's one. We all share (hopefully) stuff in here. A single program should have a single similar/same looking icon in tray and in its child windows as well. :smartass:

questions/suggestions:

1) in the future releases: are you going to have the app save the user's selection in an .ini file or a configuration file so next time we restart our PCs it opens up with the exclusions we already assigned earlier? (Y)

2) It would be more appealing if the application is launched quitely without having its window pop up first. Same as, yz shadows, WFX2, ObjectBar, DesktopX and practically everything else. Once the user is launching the app, manualy or by boot, the app should enable the trasnperacy effet on the fly (with the 'saved' configuration file like in 1st clause above), without choosing to enable it, and in that way it wont be redundant :D . The user can do so manualy either in sys tray (which im sure you thought of) or through the dialog box after bringing it up :rock:

:smartass: :goku:

Thank you very much siwu!

#28141

Ok here are my final icons for you too choose from siwu. My suggestions would be the ib text icon for the tasktray and the tilted non real blender for main program icon.

Let me know which ones you want as icos and I'll zip and send.

All of that will be in 0.3 :)

for the effect enabled at boot, change the effect_on_start setting in the config file :)

I meant THANK YOU, not then you :)

#28153

Ok siwu

you can download the ico zip Here

I'm surprised you don't like the tilted blender one :D

#28156

Thank you very much pack for the icons, but there is a little problem, there is a black circle around the icon

do you know what this is ? it's when it's viewed in explorer :/

despite of that, i'm very pleased, thank you :)

#28163

The images he posted are png's and when they are viewed in explorer as icons, they do have the black ring around them. They would have to be converted to icons.
