Set alpha value

Post by Chewtoy »

**Edit**
The plan has been fullfilled as jsmorley now have created an RainRGB that also controls opacity.
So this 'tip n trick' is pretty much useless, unless you like to see the code.
New RainRGB: http://rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4421&p=31416&hilit=RainRGB#p31416
*********



While jsmorley has created an awesome tool to change the colour in rainmeter, it lacks the ability to change the alpha value.
It is easy to set it directly in the code, as is the colour. But this is meant so you can easily change the alpha and not having to see the code itself.

Easy to use. And should not be all to hard to implament in most suits or the like.

Why don't you use RainRGB? This was mostly just a skin to get jsmorley to update it so it handles alpha-values.
And no. Not really. !RainmeterSetVariable only changes the value stored in memory, not in the code itself. Would be neat to be able to have it stored somehow though.

RainRGB does store it as well though.

Yeah. That's why I rather have people using your nice little app than this.

Using the new RainRGB is way more easy then using this skin...
