MiniRobotLanguage (MRL)

 

UCV.no transparency

UCV.ntr

Change transparency value of Cover to opaque

 

 

Intention

 

This command is used to change the transparency value of the screen cover to opaque.

 

This command is a modifier command. It is used to modify an existing cover, or to modify an cover that is soon to be created.

 

Usage is simple:

 

' Tell the cover to start transparent (50%)

UCV.tra

 

' Choose a greyscale desktop picture cover

UCV.dbw

 

' Wait 5 seconds

PAU.5

 

' No make the cover opaque

UCV.ntr

 

' Wait ten seconds

PAU.10

 

' close the cover

UCV.

 

' end the script

ENR.

 

 

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

 

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.

 

A transparency value of 0 (zero) which is used after the cover has been created, will deactivate the cover while its still there. You can switch it on later just by giving another transparency value. Here is an example:

 

UCV.cov

UCV.tra|0

UCV.bgr|&HFF00FF

UCV.pri|$$TXT

UCV.tra|126

PAU.4

UCV.

ENR.

 

* 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.
