Launcher, how to make this?

[cvikan]

Hi everyone,

I poorly know English, so I'll explain the problem as short as possible!
I made a launcher for rainmeter, but I wonder if it is possible to do that there are 2 state icon would be activated when a cursor is moved over it.

How to do something like this? >

[JpsCrazy]

MouseOverAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter Regular][!RainmeterShowMeter Highlighted]
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter Regular][!RainmeterHideMeter Highlighted]

That's how I'd do it.

This is exactly what you're looking for: Tips and Tricks: Buttons. Rainmeter lets you easily make a button that has three different states: Normal, Hover and Click. If you don't want to use the Click state, all you need to do is make it look like the Hover state and you'll never notice the difference.

Buttons is a good way, hide/show meter on mouseover is ok, but makes for a lot of code. Another alternative is ImageTint

[Rainmeter]
Update=500
MouseLeaveAction=!RainmeterSetVariable FaceBookColor 255,255,255,255

[Variables]
FaceBookColor=255,255,255,255

[MeterFaceBook]
Meter=Image
ImageName=FaceBook.jpg
GreyScale=0
ImageTint=#FaceBookColor#
DynamicVariables=1
MouseOverAction=!RainmeterSetVariable FaceBookColor 215,221,253,255
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["whatever"]


Artifacts are from the crappy .gif format, not ImageTint

More dramatic results can be had by using more dramatic color differences, and can be really striking if you use GreyScale=1 which in effect makes ImageTint "colorize" the image instead of "tinting" it.

Doesn't let you have two different images of course, but can give a nice hover effect with a minimum of code. Button meter is really the most efficient, but does require some Photoshop/gimp work to create the bitmaps.
