Mouse actions usable with 0 transparency

Post by Virginityrocks »

I know I've been posting a lot. I have another suggestion, though.

I'd like for there to be a way to have a mouse action work (namely MouseOver and MouseLeave actions) even if the transparency is 0. Having a transparency of 1 is usable, but if, like in my case, I have multiple overlaying meters each with a transparency of 1, even though 1 is not really noticeable on most monitors, when they stack their presence is obvious.

Something like "AlwaysInteract=1" would work. I use 0 transparency as a substitute for Hidden=1 in some instances, so having it as an option is a definite must.

Or maybe Hidden=-1 could equal something that is hidden, but still intractable with mouse actions.

keep in mind: only the lowest layer needs a transparency of 1 (or whatever you like except 0 of course).
layers on top of it work great with a transparency of 0 (same with SolidColor=AABBCC00)

I guess I never thought of that. Huh. You're right. I actually knew that but I didn't think to apply that to this problem. Thanks. I'll try that.
