UCV.background
UCV.bgr
Change color of cover background
Intention
This command will change the background color of an existing cover and also of an cover that is soon to be created.
General usage is simple:
' Make a compeltely green cover
UCV.bgr|&H00FF00
UCV.cov
' Here comes your script, we use a PAUSE command instead
PAU.5
' Switch cover color to yellow
UCV.bgr|&H00FFFF
' This will remove the Cover
UCV.
ENR.
You can print a text on the cover, like this:
' Make a completely red cover
UCV.bgr|&H0000FF
UCV.cov
' Here comes your script, we use a PAUSE command instead
PAU.5
' Switch cover color to yellow
UCV.bgr|&H00FFFF
' Print on the cover screen
UCV.print|Hello world
' This will remove the Cover
UCV.
ENR.
As you can see, the "background" command will also influence the background of the color of the "print" command.
Any cover is been removed immediately, when the script-process ends or when the script runs into an error.
The desktop-cover behavior can be changed/customized using the additional features:
UCV.transparency
UCV.no transparency
UCV.no blend
UCV.no blend-in
UCV.no blend-out
UCV.write
' this line will remove the cover
UCV.close
WHile "Matte" is a "dark glas", you can make the desktop-cover half transparent, by prefixing the script with:
UCV.tra
UCV.dc
PAU.10
' This line will remove the cover
UCV.
* PopUp-Menus and other TopMost Forms may be able to get temporarily in front of the Cover-form. This is due to windows-technical reasons and not a bug.
