Hey-all, just got some cool ideas for a theme,but need to know if they r doable, so here is the thing:
Is there way to Zoom in/out using mouse wheel? Same with Opacity?

Thanks!

Do you mean zoom an object like a button or image, or zoom the whole widget ?

Hi meme, i mean the whole widget

Probably not what you are after but you can zoom a layer from mouse wheel with

function layer1OnMouseWheelUp(Sender)
{
var LX = layer1.Scale.X;
var LY = layer1.Scale.Y;
LX = LX + .1;
LY = LY + .1;
layer1.ScaleTo(LX,LY);
}

function layer1OnMouseWheelDown(Sender)
{
var LX = layer1.Scale.X;
var LY = layer1.Scale.Y;
LX = LX - .1;
LY = LY - .1;
layer1.ScaleTo(LX,LY);
}

Daang, so there isn't a way to zoomIn/Out a widget with the mouse wheel?

I was thinking on doing something like this, using a combination of Zoom and Opacity to create the "behind" effect

If the widget has a full background layer the zoom script will zoom everything on the layer down to nothing and up to the actual size of the layer. Maybe worth a try.
The below script will let you adjust the opacity of the layer and all that is on the layer.

function button1OnMouseWheelUp(Sender)
{
var LO = layer1.Opacity;
LO = LO + .1;
layer1.Opacity = LO;
}

function button1OnMouseWheelDown(Sender)
{
var LO = layer1.Opacity;
LO = LO - .1;
layer1.Opacity = LO;
}

Good idea, worth experimenting with, ill post the result for those interested, thanks meme!

Looking good!

is there a way to add progressive blur to the "Zoom" layer? that way the effect will be complete

Done!


//=================== Zoom , Opacity & Blur




function setFrontLayer(Sender)
{
ZoomLayer.ScaleTo(1,1);
ZoomLayer.Opacity = 1;
ZoomLayer.Effect.Blur.Softness = 0;


SaveAsDefIni()
ZoomLayer.update;

}

function setBackLayer(Sender)
{
ZoomLayer.ScaleTo(0.7,0.7);
ZoomLayer.Opacity = 0.7;
ZoomLayer.Effect.Blur.Softness = 0.07;


SaveAsDefIni()
ZoomLayer.update;

}

function SetFarBackLayer(Sender)
{
ZoomLayer.ScaleTo(0.5,0.5);
ZoomLayer.Opacity = 0.5;
ZoomLayer.Effect.Blur.Softness = 0.17;


SaveAsDefIni()
ZoomLayer.update;

}
// ================ Zoom End
