I'm as sloppy as trying to play guitar, as reaching for the start button, It could even be detrimental for some people like me. Too few, those frames would have passed and won't trigger.Īnyway, I think we have done enough. Shucks, no, depending on which corner the start button is, it would have to be each corner.Īnyway, for an animated start button, I assume it would be a few of the hover frames,īecause it would take that long to get the mouse pointer in the corner to activate Winx. On a regular three state start button, probably the middle hover image would suffice.

Some people have complained that they want to use the start menu, by hovering over the visible image to open the start menu, as well as hover over a true zero transparent pixel at the corner to get to the special Winx menu(gather mostly power users). I increased gamma on alpha a little as well. With just a little bit of darkness around the flag. In Adobe Elements, I turned on "Auto smart fix", then copied that rgb image to the alpha channel.

I actually got quite close to your more professional practices with editors. I'm guessing adding the alpha channel added another 8 bits,Īs well as the rgb has redistribution of what looks like more active pixels? I think I saved with multipass optimization, but may not work anymore. Looks like Jcee has got hold of the real ones. I read that the link where these images came from have been altered (color boosted), so they are not original.

There are free online animated gif makers that can crop the image more,ĭo all kinds of things, but usually work with no transparency. Like enlarging certain frames, turn off blending, turn off no reverse, chop out dead frames,Ĭhanging starting/hover/pressed states, and on and on. Now I'm sure black/clear versions are more than enough for blingblow/others to personalize it more. Last edited by juniper7 on Fri 6:42 am, edited 2 times in total.

Pick the ones you want to make a 3 state reg start button, or go for the extreme,Īnd make a full length animated start button. Oh, I forgot to add, to split up the image in IrfanView, go to options,Įxport image tiles, put 1 column x 105 rows. You could pick the frames you want to make into a start button. If one opens up with IrfanView photo program, it will show one super large, I mean gigantic image. Of course, they would have to be converted to Classic shell start button format. On Deviantart, lots of people have modified their Win 7 boot logos: That's the reason you can't make an image brighter or more opaque with this, because you can't add anything and you can't multiply by something larger than 1 (meaning values above 255).I looked into the Win 7 boot animation a little further. Specifying an ImageTint of 128,128,128 will effectively multiply all the color values by 0.5 (making it darker). Perhaps I should mention that the color values are not actually "added" in a mathematical sense. If you want finer control over the tinting / colorizing of an image meter, you might look at ColorMatrix: So an alpha of 255, much like with colors, means "make no change" and can be used to restore the original transparency of the image. The alpha value is added, not replaced, in the image. It cannot be used to make it "more opaque" however. If you have an image (.png) that already is partially transparent, this can be used to make it "more transparent". If you specify an alpha amount on the ImageTint statement, that alpha will be added to the image. So ImageTint=255,255,255 can be used to restore the original colors of an image if you want to toggle the tint using !RainmeterSetVariable. Note: an ImageTint of 255,255,255 (white) in effect means "make no change". Then it will be desaturated first, and the ImageTint color will be applied. If you want to fully "colorize" the image instead, simply add GreyScale=1 on the meter as well. So it adds a "tint" of the color you specify to the existing colors. It adds the defined color to the colors already in the image. So how does ImageTint actually work? Does it just replace the white values in an image with color? What if I have a gradient? Or alpha?
