[Request] - Watermark Object (widget)
Hi,
Little suggestion for a simple "widget" extension for shareware developer by example ...
Description : this object allows to show an image or text in watermark throught application in front of all objets of all frames ...
Handy for demo/shareware software/games ...
*Must to support HWA also
Example 1 : http://www.watermarkfactory.com/resources/samples/watermark-factory-sample-10.jpg
Example 2 : http://z.about.com/d/photography/1/0/4/0/-/-/9-Basic-Watermark.jpg
NOTE: I know it's possible to create this feature, with some graphics/Strings object in front ... so, no needs your comment about that.

Why not make a semitransparent active on top of everything else?
Re: [Request] - Watermark Object (widget)
Re: [Request] - Watermark Object (widget)
it also could be created in the applications behaviours, do you only do it once for the entire application.
Re: [Request] - Watermark Object (widget)
isn't this, like
extremely easy to make?
just make an active, put it in the lower right corner, make it semi-transparent
poof
Re: [Request] - Watermark Object (widget)
It would be even easier with a widget apparently...
Some people just don't know what to do.
Re: [Request] - Watermark Object (widget)
Thanks for you replies, but I know to do that. However, I clearly stated that this was a "widget" extension !!!
Re: [Request] - Watermark Object (widget)
What we're telling you is that a 640x480 semitransparent active is in no way a widget. Why make a widget for something clearly unnecessary?
EDIT: what I'm saying is: Why would you make a widget for something that can be done without one? It's completely pointless.

It's not pointless. The whole reason for widgets, is to be able to do what you can normally do, but easier. ;)
Although I agree that a widget is not needed for just a watermark...

Well I meant something that can be done with a single property =P. Of course you can do everything a widget does....that's what they are.
EDIT: If someone really wants a widget for it, just give em an active with semitransparency set to 90 xD. That's really all the widget has to do since the image is selected by the user, as well as its size and position.
Re: [Request] - Watermark Object (widget)
I will tell you what is pointless. People getting lippy about someone requesting a widget. As forum members we should be encouraging, not lippy. Widgets, and extensions, are not pointless, no matter how simple they seem. Let's help each other.

Point taken. Nico, if you want me to make you a widget with the features listed in your first post, let me know. :)

Re: [Request] - Watermark Object (widget)
No problem, you can to do it, if you want :)
Re: [Request] - Watermark Object (widget)
I think this has a good purpose to it.
I also think maybe it would be cool to have this widget/extension thing be able to create a bitmap font on its own without having the user need to make its own image! :D
Now THAT makes it a challenge! n_____n
