Little knob to show off using layers of bitmaps and draw components together to create 3D, The knob is fully colorable and so is the indicator, It is created using a transparent gradient and solid indicator surround created in PSP, The indicator is an arc and the color of the knob is a filled ellipse.

Credits Malc for makin it FRESH Shifrin for finding my knob 🙂

OOH OOH i didn't even think of making the marker on the knob colorable, Oh well knob no3 i suppose 😉

Nice job...Looks really cool; I was thinking about making one with the colored indicator like you have.

perhaps the outline & the marker should be the same color... but I don't think you need a specific GUI for it, just label the internals well for hackers to figure it out.

Some ideas for v3... * double-click on the knob & it will return to 0 or centre * a float/interger field above or below to you can both get a reading & beable to enter values via keyboard-only.

Hmm How do i do that double click thing, Do i use a mouse area or something, That would be amazing, Once i get everything working like all these suggestions i will go back and update these knobs 🙂

I said before in a post you cannot do this untill a new module gets added really although i know how to do it now but i havent made it becuase i know that it would not work well, You would have a float for the amount of time the second click can take directly after the first and if it is not within the time then the value would remain at 0, if the click was registered within the set time limit then a value of 1 would be set but then the counter would reset to 0 quickly again. its a bit like in this post -

Something stupid

Its not worth doing unless everything needed is there (Modules) or it would run but with lots of bugs so its sort of a waste of time trying to do it right now.

Ah, its bitmaps, from the first post I got the idea that there was a new version that supports gradients (as planned)
