Sorry for a late answer...balala wrote:theAzack9, this would be a great plugin, but now I have a problem. Could I achieve somehow to blur not what I have behind the skin, but the images on the skin? This would be useful for me now.
Thanks.

I have the following code:Now the parts of the skin uncovered by the image are blurring what I have behind them. I'd like to blur the image itself (which is part of the skin). Could I?Code: Select all

Ok, that's exactly what I thought, too. Just asked, to be sure.theAzack9 wrote:It is probably possible, but not with this plugin, sorry.
No, that's not a viable option, because I should have to blur some changing images (in a "slideshow" skin).theAzack9 wrote:Could you "pre-blur" the image and switch between the blurred and the non-blurred version? You can probably achieve the blur effect with something like ImageMagick.
Hmmm, it could work by making hwnd's that always stays behind the skin, but i don't think that is a good idea at all. (plugin-wise) Though it would certainly be possible, but really hacky...Brian wrote:This method will only set the blur to the entire skin window, there is no way at all to ever 'control' the blurring with this method.
The only work around I could see if you made a 'dummy' skin that you control its location and dimensions from another skin - but even this method would probably have some problems (like dragging the skin to a new location).

Yes, I thought to this, but from my point of view, it's hard to handle it, exactly for what you've described.Brian wrote:The only work around I could see if you made a 'dummy' skin that you control its location and dimensions from another skin - but even this method would probably have some problems (like dragging the skin to a new location).
