Bonsai Blinds

This item switches between a scene of a Japanese pine and horizontal blinds. The window treatment requires only a single prim. Click on the window after applying the prim and you are presented with a menu for five choices:

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

Closed shows the print of Japanese pine (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 on the inside, while displaying an exterior glass block view.

Semi-Opaq shows blinds with the slats rotated horizontally so that there is visibility between the slats. The color of the semi-opaque blinds is configurable by notecard.

Opacity allows you to adjust the transparency 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. Opacity affects only the view from the inside to the outside. The outside view remains the same. It is in effect a one-way window.

The item is configurable by notecard to be operable only by the owner, a group, or by anyone. Reset immediately returns the item to the minimum opacity level.

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.
