Hello _aNdy_, another great example of a fun program.
I do have a question about the images: are they all yours? Or are they royalty-free? What usage rights are granted for the software's images and those created with the software?

The simplest things are sometimes the best. I find the idea and the software very appealing; a great project for young children. 8)
Add a few more options, such as glitter garlands, electric lights, snowmen, and other decorative elements, and it will be even more fun.
Out of curiosity, I tried your ...

Hello,
I've added a small option that allows you to move the panel/window with the mouse cursor positioned over the transparent edge and holding down the left mouse button.
The center panel automatically moves back to the center, which creates a nice effect...

In this way, simply, it can't allow you to do what you want?

Hello, Try with this version of the API. This works with PB 6.30B3

I also prefer percentages; it's easier to understand, but I also like having a choice, which is why I think it's good to offer two options. Depending on each person's taste.

I didn't use .l, Everything is in interger and it works in 64-bit.

Good point about the hardcoded value in the procedure; it ...

Yes indeed, old code in my archives but still functional. Thank you for your updated code, but your calculation changes the perception of transparency because it is based on the percentage. So this leaves us two possibilities to obtain transparency. We must adapt the value of "Visibility"
I modified ...

Added a second timer to display a countdown before the panel closes in case the user prefers automatic closing rather than a button, and also to know how long the panel will be displayed.

Hey, salut Denis!
Glad to know you're still active in the PB world.
Just a little tool for more fun and personal displays.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Small modification in the initial code ...

Hello everyone,
I'm sharing my personal panel used to display information with my apps. This may be useful if you also want to display something, such as an appointment, a photo, important information, or even a simple error or warning message.
You can adapt it to your needs, your colors, and your ...

A small modification to akj's code above.

Looks like the 2nd parameter of GetGadgetItemText() is an index to a list of items being displayed:

Indeed, with your method we do obtain an index number, but unfortunately as mk-soft pointed out, this number changes all the time as soon as you open a node and you end up with two identical ...

I was talking about those Gadgets which allow more entries.
Here I see exactly one, where things are different.
Especially if you compare ExplorerList and ExplorerTree gadget.


This is exactly what is confusing. Especially since GetGadgetState() in ExplorerTreeGadget() must obtain the index of ...

So there seems to be no PB way to identify the selected element. Which would be needed for the parameter Position in the GetGadgetItemText()
Furthermore, GetGadgetItemText() would only return the same result as GetGadgetText() .
From my point of view, the help should probably be corrected by ...
