[Tweak] iWidgets

[The.Drifter]

I personally would like a thiner bar with less space between the lights, almost to the point it is one light.

If you see the real KIT one it almost looks like one light and kind of leaves a trail as the light goes to the next section. So not sure if that is possible but what I mean is as the light leaves position One and goes to two, position one would be filled by 50% transparent one.

And a rainbow one would be cool if possible.

You wanted some feedback LOL and you know me by now.

Talk soon pal

Thanks for the feedback buddy,

This version uses timed opacity settings to simulate the movement, so it already leaves a one block trail.
Look at the pic closely, there is the main LED at full brightness and the one to the left is at 50% opacity.
Doing this in just code is kinda tricky, getting the timings right is the hard part.

I can move the LED's closer together, but I'm not gonna add more of them, Timing is hard enough with 6, let alone adding more

While a rainbow colored one would be possible, I wont implement that because then I would have to make a color option for each LED, and I just want to globally select the color for all of them at once.

Im still awaiting Larke for some more overlays, She is planning on adding some depth to the LEDs to give it a more realistic look.

So coding the hard part is done, just waiting for the Artistic touch of Larke to make this special

I saw the screen shot and noticed, but I did not know if that was just the timing of when you took the screen shot LOL

More light would be and like I said the overlay would look good if there was very little space between the lights.

DeepSkyBlue would be a welcomed colour to add in :-)

Got the Overlay and Color options menu done



Trying a thinner LED Bar, Whatcha think ??

Currently only Red and Blue LED, any other color suggestions ?

Liking what your doing with this! Your widgets are always unique and your coding skills are amazing!!! I like the thinner bar better IMHO. How about a green or yellow color, that would be sik!

[The.Drifter]

Thanks Project5, I will add green and yellow to the options menu
I sent you a PM, been awhile since we talked, I want to run something by you....

Instead of running an animation for each block I would use one image and one animation. With an "led" image under the overlay you can have it solid and fade to transparent on each side. Easier to add options and timing with just one.

I agree, Thats how I coded my original Horizontal Dot animation. All it needed was a grill/grid style overlay on top and the glow ball would provide the fade effect. I made a rough grill like overlay to give Larke a idea of how it should look and work, but she didnt like it or the animation timings I set. So I thought I would try another route. Still up in the air with this. I kinda like both concepts and have coded each already, not sure which one to run with

Been working on something today, very slowly though. I have the worst migraine and editing text doesn't help
Can't show it though as its for an upcoming theme I'm lucky to have an early copy of. It's nothing special though so don't expect to be blown away.

Side note, I figured a way to show additional info/images outside the bounds of the widget.plist
Shows over top of icons if they are present and also allows you to still touch the icon under
I'll work on something for this at another time this week

OH... MY... GOSH... The possibilities are ENDLESS.. My imagination is running wild. DO show when you can....

Anyone who can help.On the LCD Interactive Iwidget could someone change the color on the arrow part of the .png pics in this post?I would like red arrow on both and cab984 on both,with this they will match the 2 themes I use the most.



Thanks;HIP5

I was soaking about this with Drifter as I have the HTC one running and I reduced the size if the widget, and the animation continues to be larger than the actual widget. So I too can touch icons under the widget

Should make for some cool animated widgets

Sounds intriguing.

So for example an iWidget custom clock icon which one could place over the default clock icon? The same principle could then be applied to say the calender and weather icons?

In effect one could have 3 "live" icons? 4 including the photos icon.

For the photos icon a themed icon either displaying a slideshow of the camera folder or one like you did linking to instagram?

Pretty amazing, I must say!!

this is exactly as i have mine running, i made the stock icons blank, so it appears they are not on the screen and where the iWidgets has information about time, weather and calendar i have placed the icons under there so when i press where the weather information is the stock Weather app appears and the same for the clock and date.

Have a look at what i mean on post #1318
