How? (Color changing disk space meter in DesktopX)
from
WinCustomize Forums
Hey there DesktopX wizzards,
I'd like to make an object that changes color based on a value. I'll use the example of a disk space meter, but I assume technique would be similar no matter what the chosen 'meter' is. Ok, here's the thing... Let's say I have a graphic. We'll say a green circle. Now I'd like the graphic to slowly change from green to say yellow to orange to red depending on the amount of disk space used (Ok, maybe a memory meter would be a more exciting example.) Could someone maybe throw together a tutorial, (or even just an example object)? I don't know the first thing about scripting, but I'd like to put together an object similar to iconworkshop's iPulse using desktopX.
