opacity

Post by whatstheweather »

Hi
I'm a newbie and loving yowindow. I have searched and did not find much on opacity. It would be nice to be able to set this for the forecast and inspector and time. This would be great especially at night. If able, perhaps that could be added to the future version. Thank so much for this program!
Peace, WW

Hi and welcome to our forum,

why do you suggest to adjust the transparency? The tranparency is given with about 50% now.

Hi Mallorca
In other programs, such as Stickies, I am able to set the opacity from 10-100%. This enables me to blend it well with my desktop backgrounds. In this case with yowindow, right now at night, the forecast on the left, and the inspector at the night are very bright compared to the sky. If I could set the opacity lower, it could blend in better. So, I suggest that there would be a opacity scale from like 10%-100% for us to do this.
Peace,
WW

Thank you for the suggestion!
I think it is important one.
Hopefully we will add transparency tuning control.
Right now not much time for this task.
Get YoWindow weather app for your phone or tablet.

Thanks Par
Hopefully you can get to this sometime, it would enhance night-time viewing.
Thanks again for a great program. I am about to buy my first android phone and look forward to when you release it there so I can have yowindow all the time!
