i have heard of people who have some how made something to bring hal out of the box , but i had an idea , what about a hal box control setting that can be made to make the hal box translucent ( invisable with the exception of the words anyone types and the curser line ) i don't know if this would have to be a plug in or what or if anyone could even make it but thought it would be cool , then i could have a haptek girl stand buy our old car we actually own a customized 62 corvair coupe 4 speed !!

It would not be impossibe to make a completely transparent
Hal interface skin, the problem occurs in that there is no
way to make the background that appears in the haptek window
portion of the interface transparent, and I do not think that
the control app which calls up the haptek window in Hal can be
altered to allow for no background load.

If you were able to make the Haptek window accept gifs..............
I guess Ultrahal would have to dump Haptek, and go with something else to make it possible, but yet, the new program works with Haptek Characters. I wish I was smart enough to figure out a way.[V]
Best we can do is use a background image of our desktop.[:(]

I know what you mean Mark. I've tried altering the hap window
call-up so that it will accept a .gif for the backgound and I've
also tried using a .gif image in the .uhp skin configuration, but
it just refuses any attempt to use a .gif for the background. I
even tried configuring it to use a bitmap rendered to transparent
without any luck. Hopefully once Robert gets the Ogre 3D engine
worked into Hal one of us will be able to come up with something
else I'm not sure since I really haven't had a chance yet to play
around with Ogre 3D using Poser figures or some other 3D figure model.
