Hue Slider in Properties

from JoeUser Forums
Referring to a widget or gadget's right-click proerties, in the appearance tab for the Hue Shift slider...

Is it possible to have that slider control only one element [like a background] of the widget/gadget instead of everything within?

Oho, I know exactly where you're coming from. However, theres no way to do this, unless the author made a separate slider for the background.

As CerebroJD said, you'd have to make your own code to do that. Note that you can still remove the default Hue slider and add your own which you program to only control one, or more spesific objects.

Thanks guys, this is what I was afraid of. I knew we could remove the slider from the properties so users can't control the hue shifting that way, I was just hoping that Stardock had made that a little more 'designer friendly'.

For me it would just make sense to specify that only certain elements are shiftable from that slider control. Easier for me, as I don't have to add more buttons or elements to my widgets, and easier for the usres of the widget because the shifter is already there.

You don't have to add more more elements to your widget. DX lets you add additional items to the standard preferences dialogwindow. https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/documentation/scripting/widget_preferences.html

All you need to do is add a script to one of your existing objects. (Or add the needed code to existing code.)
