FrameWindow or TitleBar hover state

Postby Treize » Sat Jun 07, 2008 19:13

I was just wondering why there doesn't seem to be a "hover" state for the stateimagery of the framewindow and the titlebar widget in falagard?
I just wanted to make the titlebar light up a little when the mouse hovers over it but now i don't know how to pull that off..

Is there another way to do it maybe?

Hi,

There is currently no separate states in the Titlebar for imagery purposes - I agree this would be a useful thing to have :)

You may be able to achieve the effect you want in a few ways. Obviously you could create a new Titlebar class that can expose some new state, and then optionally (if you did not embed the behaviour in the new Titlebar class) add a new WindowRenderer class that can select different imagery based on the new states. That probably sounds quite complicated (although it's really not), so I will offer a 'work-around' solution as well...

The work around solution would be to have a property in the titlebar skin that holds some colour, which can be applied to the imagery when rendering. What you could then do is subscribe to the events on the titlebar that tells when the mouse enters/leaves, and update the colour property value to give the highlight effect. It would also be possible to have properties that specify images - enabling changing the actual imagery too.

If you need elaboration on either solution, please ask and someone will be able to assist further :)

CE.
