This page consent to *Nanjaku* (soften) Warp project. I have no talent to drawing cute pictures, but want to offer some frame works to display such cute pictures.
This is a control (widget) to display shape (non-rectangular) window on OS/2 PM. I release source of shape window control and three sample programs using shape window.
ARCHIVEShape Window is just like X's Shape Extension. With this, you can create non-rectangular window on your desktop. I hope many one create cute accessories using this control.
trbitmap shows given bitmap on your desktop with transparent background. It assumes color of lower left corner (0, 0) as background color, and pixels having same color as background. As result, picture other than background color will appear on your desktop.
trbitmap bitmap-fileThis program consumes lot of system resources (CPU and memory). So large/complex bitmap slow down your computer.
Pictures found in XMascot are quite good (but those pages are japanese only). Convert them into OS/2 bitmap and display, it makes your desktop softer.
tranime shows animation with given bitmaps.
tranime bitmap-file ...It displays control dialog. Set delay (mili-sec) and step (pixel) for next frame, and start animation. This program also consumes lot of system resources (CPU and memory). So large/complex bitmap slow down your computer. Try small, simple bitmaps first.
Try get some animate GIF, and convert each frames into OS/2 bitmap, and animate them with 'step' value 0. You will get animation on your desktop without any rectangular window frame. It consumes lot of CPU, but quite cool.
treyes shows eyes tracking mouse pointer.
treyesYou will get eyes just like 'xeyes' on X.
This sample demonstrates how to change pictures on shape window. You can make 'oclock' look-a-like, with this method.
Mr.Romy maintains list of Japanese OS/2 users web pages. While looking
Romy's Page,
I got an idea of this program. Thanks to Mr.Romy for permission to use his
picture.
It requires EMX (0.9c >).
'Osuwari Multi', originally developped for Windows, is well known desktop accessory in Japan. I have ported it to OS/2 PM. Be happy with *NadeNade*, *FuniFuni* on her.
