| Customized circular
menu with different motion styles and zoom in/out.
Adding
menu items and URLs
Enter
each menu item and its corresponding URL into their respective
text field. Make sure you have the same number of menu items
as you have URLs. See the section Entering
Text Or Files for more information about entering menu
items.
Displaying area
The items will be displayed at perimeter of the circle with
center at the halo's horizontal and vertical positions (measured
in percent from window dimensions, so horizontal=50 and vertical=50
means the center of the page). The circle width and height
is set by the Halo width/height values (also in percents).
Display area is automatically adjusted to window dimensions
so that the effect is safe from resize and change of screen
resolution.
Displaying items
Items displayed along part of perimeter. Variables Text from/to
determine how much perimeter will be occupied by items (in
percent). For example, with 50% setting items will be displayed
along an ark. Values greater than 100 are acceptable too,
for such values items will warp circle more than once. For
example, for 200% setting items will warp circle twice. Text
speed will determine how fast warping will be changed from
minimum (Text from) to maximum (Text to) value and back. So
speed defined in percents per frame. Halo speed determine
on how much angles whole circle (and items) will rotate each
frame. Halo speed can be zero, positive or negative. By combining
different text warp and speed settings its possible to produce
wide range of circular movements.
Zoom in and out
Initially items are hidden. After pressing Open button items
appeared and moved from center to defined radius. Open button
will be changed to Close button, and after clicking it items
will be hidden again. Both buttons positioned at the center
of halo and its possible to define custom captions for both
of em using Open text and Close text variables.
Effect delay
The delay variable will set the delay in the effect engine
(in milliseconds). You can lower it to produce smoother animation,
however try to keep it reasonable high to consume low CPU
power.
