This item switches between Starry Night blinds that are closed and blinds that are closed but horizontal for a semi-opaque appearnce . In particular, the item provides a window treatment for individual windows with only a single prim for the window. Specifically, the item includes a script to switch between closed blinds displaying the famous Starry Night painting and closed blinds that are horizontal for some visibility. Click on the window after applying the prim and you are presented with a menu for six choices (see last image):
(1) Closed;
(2) Open;
(3) Tinted Glass;
(4) Semi-Opaq;
(5) Opacity; amd
(6) Reset
Closed shows blinds covering the window and display a replica of the Starry Night painting (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. Semi-Opaq shows the blinds covering the windowing, but appearing to be horizontal for a semi-opaque appearance.
Opacity allows you to adjust the transparency of the blinds 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 blinds for the semi-opaqe setting is also configurable by using the notecard. White or black seems to work best, but light blue is attractive too. Both white and black are shown in the images.
The prim in this item may be modified and copied. Only the script in the prim may be not be modified, but may be copied and the prim re-sized as you wish and copied to fit windows of different sizes.
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.
- 1 prim per window scripted blinds
- Menu appears upon touch
- Blinds on separate windows may be linked for simultaneous control
- Adjustable opacity
My Fave Window Covering
I purchased this because it is my favorite painting in RL. It is well done and resizable for any window and it does provide privacy. Great piece especially for the price!
Very nice for any Van Gogh admirers.
I bought this last night but it failed to deliver. Not to worry Xstreet was just lagging. I was not charged for it. So today I re-bought this item and put it on my window frame. the textures stayed nice and even as I stretched it to fit. Very nice considering when you want art yet you are torn between window blinds or wall paintings on a limited prim residence. This way you get both and when you get tired of the artwork there are three other options to use. I also purchased his white window switcher because I only wanted one window in my house with the "starry night" theme. From now on if I need a change of pace I will look to this seller first for any window treatments before I check elsewhere. The option of 'owner only' or 'anyone' to open or close is an added bonus. You can't beat the price either. Five out of Five stars. Great work Randall Ahren!
