Advanced Transition/Effect settings added - beta

**Blue ZX3** · 08-07-2007, 01:12 PM

I have added the following transition/effect settings to make them even more usefull.

Skin Commands:
*Entering and Exiting effects for each screen (currently effect only take place when exiting screen)
*Forcing the above In/Out effects and effect time durring the switch ( usefull when the screen going to has an EffectIn defined, but don't want it used upon re-entering it. Good for Menu type screens)
*Setting the effect time for each screen ( never been avail before, won't allow setting to be below 0.2 )

Global Setting:
*The default effect time you want to use if none defined in screen(s) (previously hard coded as 0.2 secs, if not defined then resorts to the old hardcoded value of 0.2)

Now for settings:

Skin Commnds:

/EFFECTIN=XXX (Duh, do you really need an explanation??)
/EFFECTOUT=XXX (same as /EFFECT=xxx, just easier to understand, now that there are more settings)
/TRANSTIME=0.XX (time durration for effects, any value >= 0.2 )
/FORCEEFFECTS=TRUE/FALSE (USE TO ENFORCE THESE SETTINGS FOR THIS SCREEN, REGUARDLESS OF EFFECTIN FOR NEXT SCREEN)

Global Settings (RR.ini)

TransitionTime=0.XX (time durration for effects, any value >= 0.2 )

Great Job! I have been wanting something like this for some time now! On some screen's, such as my audio screen's I do not like the fade effect, as the screens are almost identical, with buttons in just slightly different places. Using transitions between those screens, kinda looks like double vision for a second

On the other hand, I really just wanted transitions when going into the GPS/iGuidance screen. When a fade transition is on, iGuidance doesn't flash that bright white screen, which is especially distracting at night when it auto switches.

Great work on this, and can't wait to put it to some good use!

Now, all that is left, is to get this code to Guino, and hopefully it will make it to the official release along with the GPS weather, and new City, County, State and zip code labels from SonicXtacy02.

Good work! I've been messing around with transitions for a bit too. Really dig the fade but it's a little buggy for me in video player where menu is not smooth going away ... it sort of stutters away.

So are these just comments on the theories or actual testing??

As no one has mentioned that they did try it and it works, doesn't work, works only with certain screens, ect...

First post updated with complete RR coded version.

Got an error saying it could not access the system registry?

**Blue ZX3** · 08-09-2007, 09:03 PM

I find that puzzling...unfortunitly, I wouldn't even know where to start with that kind of error.

Sorry...

This has been merged with the next release, whenever it is released...

what would be the way to turn the transitions OFF for a certain skin. If I have it as 'enabled, no effect' it still is causing problems.

Try adding these to the skin in question.

/EFFECTIN=-1
/EFFECTOUT=-1
/FORCEEFFECTS=TRUE
