SideBar Shade - My (small) Contribution

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

Greetings :)

After a lot of tinkering, I have my transparent SideBar background project working.

This is not exactly how I wanted it to be, but it works well enough that I feel safe in releasing it for others to use.  It's easily modifiable both functionally (more colors/other transparency values could be added) and aesthetically (the 'interface' is comprised of divs with CSS classes you could change to your liking).

I tried to package it into a 'plugin,' following a tutorial on 'how to create plugins in the browser,' but I kept getting syntax errors when I tried to compile it, so I finally gave up and just put everything in a .JSON file...

View and download it here

Hope it's useful for some of you :)

Thanks for sharing.

As for creating plugins, the most user friendly tool we have thus far (and the only one I can use) is Andreas Hahns Tinka. (I just reset my computer and lost all bookmarks so you'll have to search it yourself.)

I use Tinka since long, under node and in standalone TWs.

its as strudy as a rock

Didnt give me any problems in hundreds of operations.

If Andreas would work for MS, we would have missed one geration of delight of the blue screen

Thank You for the link to Tinka, Birthe :)

It worked just fine (well, all except for giving me an error no matter what I entered into the 'Core-Version' box...), and I now have the SideBar Shade packaged as a Plugin, and available for download from http://zaphod2016.tiddlyspot.com/ :)

I added a list-after field to the ControlPanel variant, so it appears at the end of the Appearance tab, after Theme Tweaks.

Now onto my next problem/dilemma/query/project :-P
