Hi, it dawned on me that you may be looking for "balloons" on Zinc. Balloons are little windows that "pop up" when your mouse is over an item. There is a trick to making them work on Zinc, so if you are after "balloons", let me know and I'll post a few examples. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum	[reply]

Info on "Balloons" would be nice too... but you have given me what I was looking for "on ejecting type effect" in your first couple of replies... And I have got it kind of working. It(the ejecting rectangle as it were) is visible though, under the transparent graident... that I want it to eject from... Any info on starting off with just a thin line that is visible to start with, and the expanding that line(in thickness), instead of moving an alredy fixed size rectangle? Peace...	[reply]

*Any info on starting off with just a thin line that is visible to start with, and the expanding that line(in thickness), instead of moving an alredy fixed size rectangle?* Just create an "Enter" binding on the thin line, and have the callback make it a different size. Set up a "Leave" binding to do the opposite. However, I can't see why you would want to do it that way. Setting up the menu as a group and moving it is far better. If you are having problems with the menu being seen, while it is in it's closed state, due to transparencies, just set the -visible=>0 on the group when it is closed, and -visible=>1 when opened. As a matter of fact, I was toying with the idea of stacking many such sliding hidden menus, even 100's of them, and control which one is seen by setting the -visibility on them, based on need.
