Vertical Blinds Switcher

This items switches between vertical blinds and curtains. In particular, the item provides vertical blinds for individual windows with only a single prim for the window. Specifically, the blinds include a script to open and close the blinds for the window to which it has been applied. Click on the window after applying the prim and you are presented with a menu for six choices:

(1) Closed;
(2) Open;
(3) Tinted Glass;
(4) Semi-Opaq;
(5) Opacity; amd
(6) Reset

Closed shows blinds covering the window (main picture). Open shows a clear transparent texture that appears to be invisible for completely open curtains. Tinted Glass displays a dark tinted glass texture (last image). Semi-Opaq shows white semi-transparent curtains covering the window.

Opacity allows you to adjust the transparency of the blinds, curtains, and tinted glass between four different levels. Each time Opacity is clicked, the transparency is increased until the maximum is reached whereupon it returns to the default setting of minimum transparency. There are four levels of opacity provided. Reset immediately returns the item to the minimum opacity level.

The item is configurable by notecard to be operable only by the owner or by anyone. The color of the curtains for the semi-opaqe setting is also configurable by using the notecard. White or gray seems to work best, but light red, green, blue or yellow is attractive too.

Finally, copies of the blinds may be linked together on separate windows (edit the blinds, hold down the shift key and select another copy and then Control L). If you link the copies, clicking on one set of blinds will simultaneously operate the linked copy. It may also be linked with different blinds and curtains, for example it may be linked with warm wood blinds on another window or red shutter blinds or other types.
