Versa-Visualizer-II

Post by eclectic-tech »

Versa-Visualizer-IIImage
Completely rewrote this...
Removed the vertical version; skin can be rotated up to 90 degrees so vertical version is redundant
Removed the circle version for simplification


Looking for testers to take it for a spin and see if breaks anything (I have tested it as far as I can :D) before releasing on the world :sly:

Main change is the ability to middle-click on skin to enter Edit Mode, where you can use the mouse wheel to set spacing
Once in that mode, double-left-click to select the Vertical animation mode, set the vertical spacing for the 'No Animation' mode by scrolling the mouse wheel and then saving the style
Next double-left-click to select Horizontal animation mode, set the horizontal spacing for the 'No Animation' mode by scrolling the mouse wheel and then saving the style
Finally, double-click to set the default animation mode and save the style

Middle-click will exit the Edit Mode; all of those settings (and more) are available in the config skin shown in the upper right

The skin can do a lot of things (maybe too many :jawdrop )
I am curious if anyone finds it too complicated to understand and use and if it breaks in any way for you? :welcome:

Thanks for any comments
E.T.

Publicly released on My DA site

A special "Thank You" to balala for his TransformationMatrix formula for rotation and tilt! :rosegift:

Reworked Edit Mode...

Available Mouse Actions in Edit Mode
  • Left Button: Steps through horizontal spacing values
  • Mouse Scroll Up: Steps through vertical dispersion values
  • Mouse Scroll Down: Steps through wave factor (frequency modulation) values

With those settings, the major settings for the visualizer positions, when no animation is selected, can be set using the mouse; you always have the ability to set those values in the Config Editor.


Other Changes
  • Add MouseActionEnable/MouseActionDisable to Edit mode so mouse action for positioning are disabled in normal mode :x
  • Corrected Title/Artist hide on mouse leave
  • Set max width based on work area width (Tested Res: 1366x768 and 1920x1080)
  • Set max height based on work area height
  • Finer control for wave factor (frequency modulation)
  • Corrected several styles that had incorrect color schemes (Included number of schemes reduced to 10)
Attached package in first post updated

BTW, requires Rainmeter 4.2 final release :D

Made a few mods... {tweak-tweak} :17nodding

I corrected a possible 'division by zero' error if WaveFactor variable was set to zero

Changed EDIT MODE to update the CONFIGURE skin while adjusting

To exit EDIT MODE, click 'Exit' in the CONFIGURE skin; middle mouse button no longer exits Edit Mode (it only enters Edit Mode)

Note: WaveFactor affects the overall Vertical animation; low values may exhibit very small changes in Vertical Animation mode

Thanks! It is a re-write with K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid) in mind! :17nodding
Just found a few more minor issues to correct that I created by trying to simplify things... :17angry
It's a good thing I enjoy bug squashing! {squash!} {SQUASH!} {!SQUASH!}

Don't worry, this happens many times to me, too.

Simplified Edit Mode; Removed mouse actions settings on the visualizer image :vomit:

All editing is done with the Configure Skin (Middle-click to Open Configure Mode)
- All changes are shown in the visualizer, but not saved until you click the 'Save' button; to cancel changes, click 'Close' and no changes will be applied
- Exceptions:
Color Schemes, Centering, Spin, and Tilt are applied/saved immediately
Default Anim is applied on 'Close'

- Almost all setting values can be scrolled up/down to set
- Or left-click to enter an exact value ('Enter' must be pressed to show change)

- Modified Vertical Dispersion Function and Dot Positioning

These changes make customizing the visualizer more intuitive :great:

Attachment in first post updated to v2.2018.07.20
* Corrected negative dispersion scroll adjust
