blink indicator speed?

**liquid_smoke** · 10-04-2005, 02:20 AM

Hey guino:
not a huge issue, but is is possible to have some options as to how fast the blink indicators blink? Like a slow, medium, fast, where the current speed would be considered fast, when windows task bar flashes would be considered medium and slow would be half of that.
I would like to use blinking idicators more but the current speed it blinks at is really fast. Heck you can do way with the slow, medium, fast stuff and just make the setting in miliseconds "ONLINE:b,200".
Again, not a huge issue, just something to think about for future updates.

thanks

Hi, i'm looking for the same.

Any news on these?

The blinking speed is set to 200ms ON, 200ms OFF - it's hard coded. I don't really know how much work that involves, but there would be a minimum allowed time for sure.

Just to be awkward

Can you add different blink rates for off and on?

K, for the mr winee above.... we now have...

To spec a custom blink rate of a indicator with same on/off times add a 6th parameter to your indicator definition line...

I, 20,30,40,40,"Mute:b",300 ( in 100th's of a sec )

This would be on for 300ms and off for 300ms.

To spec a custom blink rate of a indicator with a different on & off times add a 6th & 7th parameter to your indicator definition line...

I, 20,30,40,40,"Mute:b",300,500 ( in 100th's of a sec )

This would be on for 300ms and off for 500ms.

Any rates not specified or < 200, will default to current blink rate..ie 200ms

My test subject was using 4 mute ind's. So i had four independently blinking inds blinking at their specified rate.

On top of that....there is also a cmd that can change them at run time using same layout as skin definition

Syntax: "SetIndBlRate;<indicator code>[;<On Time>;<Off Time>]"

Example 1: "SetIndBlRate;mute;350"
Sets the mute to bllink 350ms on & 350ms off

Example 2: "SetIndBlRate;mute;350;750"
Sets the mute to bllink 350ms on & 750ms off

Example 3: "SetIndBlRate;mute"
Sets the mute to blink back to the default of 200ms on & 200ms off

Now that should be worth something...Click here->
