Frame effect example

Line length

This setting defines length of line cycling through rectangle frame in main panel.

Allowed values: 4 - 256

Default value: 64

Lines

This setting defines number of lines cycling through rectangle frame in main panel.

Allowed values: 1 - 16

Default value: 2

Clockwise direction

This setting defines whether lines moved in clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

Default value: true


You can set frame effect depending on whether playback is running, or playback is paused, or there is no playback.

Effect on

If checked, then the effect is active for specific playback setting.

Default: true for all three playback settings.

Speed

This defines how fast are lines moving for specific playback setting. Value 1 means very slow. Value 640 means fast.

Allowed values: 1 - 640

Default values: 320 for playback, 80 for pause and 10 for no playback.

Alpha

This defines how visible the effect is for specific playback setting. Value 0 means no visibility (it is equivalent to unchecked "Effect on" setting). Value 255 means maximum visibility.

Allowed values: 0 - 255

Default values: 255 for playback, 216 for pause and 168 for no playback.

Smooth transition

If checked, it takes cca 1 second to change the effect when playback state is changed. Otherwise, setting is applied instantly.

Default: true

Note: playback / pause / no playback are states of Winamp. This means, when you change the playback state in Winamp, Totalamp will be displaying this state. For example, when you start Totalamp, and playback was already running in Winamp, the effect will use "playback" settings.

Technical note: speed = 1 means 1/64 of pixel moved in 1/40 second. Speed = 64 means 1 pixel moved in 1/40 second.

Technical note: smooth transition (alpha and speed adapt values +/- 10 [40 times per second]) (unchecked means sharp transition)

Technical note: effect is rendered using highest precision possible (notable at slow speeds).
