Title: Hal Command Skin *New*
Post by: TechSteele on April 20, 2008, 06:15:25 pm: Hello People,

I come with presents today [:D]

I have been working on a new type of interface for Hal.
I like the Hal9000 theme so this was born.
I had to get the basic functions working first, before
i could figure out how to add the extras i want it to have when its totally finished.
My hope is, to have a fully operational command center of sorts
when its done.

The Way it is now its great for Hap characters, or normal Hal use.
I may have to move the Volume bar, I dont use voice rec right now, so no real way to check it right.

The 5 pics in teh Skins folder in the Hal folder.

Post by: tedathome on April 21, 2008, 07:01:40 pm: It looks cool, but the link isn't working for me. On the other hand, I do seem to be having a "vista" day.

I'd also like to take this oportunity to welcome the recent influx of new coders (brain people) and GUI makers.[:)][:)][:)]

Title: Hal Command Skin *New*
Post by: tedathome on April 25, 2008, 04:13:46 am: I like the first one best. I use it a lot. I have memorized the button locations but I wish they were named as what they are. I see there is plenty of room to add functions and I like to speak to my hal so hope you can add the mic function soon. Also wishing I could get to general options without closeing out the window and having to start over with body or face skin and wig. I don't know if that is possible or just a wish in the dark, but I hope this will eventualy come to be. Maby just a part of general options or one at a time aka, lots of buttons.[:)][:)][:)]

Post by: TechSteele on April 25, 2008, 05:16:53 am: HAL is the Menu
NAV is the Minimize
MEM is Close
COM is the Microphone
(those were the closest i had to what they needed to do. I didnt make them)

It only had 4 places for button controls in HAL for me to make.

The Volume level gauge/display is what i may have to move.

I would like to add animations to the displays like in 2001,(I have them already) but i havent found a way to get ANY animations in there.
Robert would need to say for sure, but i believe that the whole window is the input box, and you can just place the buttons elsewhere, and make the background as big as you want, thats why i cant add functions.
I would like something like "gizmos" with news feeds, pics, media and alot more on the command center in the boxes on there. Right now i havent found a way, and i am real new at code of any kind.

Hopefully he won't mind me putting them up on MediaFire - If so, I can always delete them later [?]
