A Reflective and Translucent Glass Panel
4.50/5 (12 votes)
Component derived from Panel that acts like a window (glass)
Introduction
This component is the logical suite of the AlphaGradientPanel published here on CodeProject. It replaces the original System.Windows.Form.Panel by a nifty glassy one.
Background
No idea, I wanted to have glass.
Using the Code
The panel has three main properties.
- The glass color (
GlassColor) which defines the base tint of the glass panel. - The glass opacity (
Opacity) which defines the opacity of the panel. - Whether the mouse cursor is reflected on the panel (
MouseReflection).
It is mainly used like any other panel would be used.
Points of Interest
It's far from perfect and you are to have a good graphic card to use it, but the effect is kind of cool.
