How? (Color changing disk space meter in DesktopX)
Tuesday, July 27, 2004 by mr.bo | Discussion: Skinning
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.

It is sort of dead but people usually respond to questions.
