Fading Dialogs

[kgschlosser]

Here is a little tidbit of code for adding some "flare" to EG


create a macro with the event Main.OnInit
add the Python Script action and paste the code below into it.
then restart EG.. and open a config dialog for an action or a plugin.

Code: Select all

import time
import wx
import threading

def Show(self):

    def run():
        transparent = 0
        while transparent < 255:
            transparent += 1
            wx.CallAfter(self.SetTransparent, transparent)
            wx.CallAfter(wx.Dialog.Show, self)
            time.sleep(0.005)
            
    self.SetTransparent(0)
    wx.Dialog.Show(self)
    
    threading.Thread(target=run).start()

eg.globals.original_destroy = eg.ConfigDialog.Destroy

def Destroy(self):
    def run():
        transparent = 255
        while transparent > 0:
            transparent -= 1
            wx.CallAfter(self.SetTransparent, transparent)
            wx.CallAfter(wx.Dialog.Show, self)
            time.sleep(0.005)
            
        eg.globals.original_destroy(self)
        
    threading.Thread(target=run).start()


eg.ConfigDialog.Show = Show
eg.ConfigDialog.Destroy = Destroy
