Hey guys, I was wondering if there´s a way to hide the elements of logon window, when I press the connect button, just hide them while connecting,
and if connecton is aborted then show the elements again, how to apply this to the links button for example, I just want to see the entire image of that window in that moment, I hope you can give me any ideas, thanks in advance.

This cannot be done with skinning since it could not be a boolval or multival option. Those are the two kinds of skinning options. Hope you understand. If it can be done, it could be done only with a script.

It couldn't be done at all.

The resources are loaded and applied as soon as the .exe starts, after which they can not be edited or changed without restarting the .exe.

Ok, I understand guys, i just think it should be nice, anyway, thanks  for your answers.

Just edit the 947 style...I've done that...it changes the boxes to anycolor you want when they are not active (cuz you're signing in)

code:

---

CBInput[id=atom(idPasswordInput)]
{
Foreground:rcclr(20016);
MaxTextLength:16;
background:argb(200,255,255,255);
borderthickness:rcrect(20010);
bordercolor:rgb(0,0,0);
width:226;
padding:rect(4,3,4,3);
accessible:true;
accname:rcstr(61282);
accdesc:rcstr(61283);
accrole:42;
accstate:536870912;
margin:rect(0,2,0,5);
richeditstylelainText|HideSelection|AllowBeep|UsePassword;
}
CBInput[id=atom(idPasswordInput)][enabled=false]
{
Foreground:rcclr(20016);
background:argb(20,255,255,255);
bordercolor:rgb(0,0,0);
}
element[id=atom(idEmailInputContainer)]
{
Width:226;
margin:rect(0,2,0,8);
borderthickness:rcrect(20010);
bordercolor:rgb(0,0,0);
contentalign:middleleft;
background:argb(200,255,255,255);
}
element[id=atom(idEmailInputContainer)][enabled=false]
{
Foreground:rcclr(20016);
background:argb(20,255,255,255);
bordercolor:rgb(0,0,0);
}

Thanx man i´ll try then then i tell you if it works

If he does that, then they will not be visible when they are not active. So, when he doesn't write in them, he will not be able to see them, which is not right.

Well...that's the way i found to make something ALMOST like what he wanted...if you've got a better suggestion...tell us

I don't say the opposite. And also, he is the one who will choose if he does it or not. I just said what it will happen.

That will rly happen, that's why I suggest him to use a not totally transparent argb...it will be easier to see...hmm...and it just stays inactive when you can't type...it keeps active if you're using another window...

Well guys, here is what i´ve done, and it works fine for what I want, as I told you iwanted to hide elements like the mail and pass containers, and also their respective labels when signin button is pressed, so blessedguy gave an idea, so here is what ipve done:

In 947 Style, for example, to hide the idlogonstatus button, I put a "visible:false" status when Idlogonstatus is False, i mean this:
___________________________________

element[id=atom(idlogonstatus)]
{
        foreground: rgb(255, 255, 255);
    contentalign:middleleft;
}
element[id=atom(idlogonstatus)][enabled=false]
{
    foreground:rgb(193,193,193);
        Visible:false;  <------------------- Here!
____________________________________

And It works Pretty fine, so at clicking signin button it hides,
I did the same with the labels, like this:
____________________________________

Element[class="CommonLabel"]
{
    Foreground:rgb(51,51,51);
    Fontface:"MS Shell Dlg 2";
    Fontsize:8pt;
}
Element[class="CommonLabel"][Enabled=false]
{
    Foreground:rgb(193,193,193);
        visible:false; <------------------------- Here!
}
____________________________________ This works fine too!

But I have many doubts on how it works on the mail & pass containers, cause they don´t depend only on the signin button but also on the checkboxes "remember my account" and "remember my password", Look what I´ve done to hide password input:
__________________________________

CBInput[id=atom(idPasswordInput)]
{
    MaxTextLength:16;
    background:rgb(255,255,255);
    borderthickness:rect(1,1,1,1);
    bordercolor:rgb(170,183,199);
    width:226;
    padding:rect(4,3,4,3);
    accessible:true;
    accname:"C&ontraseña:";
    accdesc:"Escribe tu contraseña.";
    accrole:42;
    accstate:536870912;
    margin:rect(0,2,0,5);
    richeditstylelainText|HideSelection|AllowBeep|UsePassword;
}
CBInput[id=atom(idPasswordInput)][enabled=false]
{
    foreground:rgb(193,193,193);
    background:argb(0,0,0,0);
    bordercolor:rgb(193,193,193);
        Visible:false; <-------------------------------- Again!
}
_________________________________________Fine too, but...

When the options to remember pass and e- mail are checked, the pass container is Invisible, not the same with mail container, so the right thing to be clear for the user is that password field has to be "not accesible" but neither invisible, instead it should appear like deactivated, So it works for me and i don´t mind, but I think this fact should be confusing for the final user.

This could be fixed if I define a transparent color for all of these items (instead of make em not visible?), but I don´t know how is it in rgb, cause it must  be applied to properties like: foreground (for labels) & bordercolor(for the containers).

I really hope you understand guys, but anyway thanks alot for your help.

You're welcome!
If I understood the last part...you've just gotta set foreground to a coor that almost vanishes (for dark skins...it would be dark gray for example) and for background you set something with low argb, for ex, argb=(30,255,255,255) then it will stay visible but not accesible...

And...hmm...there is an important thing for you to fix...you should nver use the consoliated windows defs and styles, cuz it will have your language, and other ppl won't be able to understand it...ok?
It has to be fixed or probably it won't go to the database

This is a general advice. Use the windows files and not the consolidated because your skin will not be easy to use for users of other countries. I say this because I saw some strings of your language which means you used the consolidated files. Keep that in mind.
