Creating Scenarios for DesktopX

Custom Folders

Friday, November 9, 2007 by DArnaez | Discussion: ObjectDock

The creation of these "Scenarios" (as I call its) is a total success. I have new ideas but I need to know if it is possible with DesktopX technology or not. By the moment Scenarios are a set where wallpapers and icons are composed in the same 3D environment. So... you will have icons near you (bigger) and far (smaller)... to integrate in the space, the background simulate a floor and each icons have a reflection on it. But the icons (by the moment) are objects with typical targets (My CPU, My Documents, My Music).

I'm very close to finish a new version with Cryo64 Exodo YQ2 icons... but this time all icons have a mouser over animation. It look great!

THis is the new idea.
I would like to make a folder icon and when the user mouse over showing an animation like a (for example 640x480) window opened and with some icons inside (these icons linked to programs.
For example... the folder could be a Mozilla folder and inside the window you will find Firefox, Thunderbird, icons... or imagine a Stardock Folder! it would be great, I think.

Anybody know if this is possible?

Thanks in advance!

Can y'all make the 'close' do a reverse animation instead of just disappearing?

Yep. Add another state with reverse animation, a few new lines of code and here you go: UPDATED

must have been an errant double click - went back a page and tried again = worked

That's just cool.


I like the animated close better.
