.:buddhabeats:. Bonsai Oak BOX 2013

***OLD ITEM - SCULPTED PRIMS***

Throughout the major cultures of Europe the oak tree has been held in high esteem.
To the Greeks, Romans, Celts, Slavs and Teutonic tribes the oak was foremost amongst venerated trees, and in each case associated with the supreme god in their pantheon,
oak being sacred to Zeus, Jupiter, Dagda, Perun and Thor, respectively. Each of these gods also had dominion over rain, thunder and lightning, and it is surely no coincidence
that oak trees appear to be more prone to lightning strikes than other trees, whether because of their wood's low electrical resistance or the fact that they were frequently
the largest, tallest living things in the landscape.

The Druids frequently worshipped and practised their rites in oak groves (the word Druid was probably a Gaelic derivation of their word for oak, Duir, and meant men of the
oaks). Mistletoe, probably the Druids' most potent and magical plant, frequently grew on oak trees and its presence was believed to indicate the hand of God having placed it
there in a lightning strike.

BASIC:
very simple: touch the tree.
the menu options are as follows.
[green] = a fresh and friendly shade of green, like a lush oak in spring or summer.
[yellow] = a greenish yellow shade - fits autumn in spring or summer.
[orange] = a dirty shade of orange - very close to what you see on oaks in autumn.
[red] = not a very natural, but a really beautiful shade.
[brown] = dark, like an almost dead oak - great for urban environments or creepy autumn scenes.
[black] = very dark leaves - not really natural, but maybe the best tone for fark environments.
[white] = silver shimmering leaves - also not natural, but great for a faery garden.
[color] = rezzes the color picker panel to change the pot color
[shadow] = toggles the ground shadow..
[exit] = turns off all menu functions and let the tree sleep again.

always use [exit] to leave the menu if you accidentally clicked the tree or dont need the menu.

ADVANCED:

CHANGING THE POT COLOR:
touch the bonsai.
select [color] from the pop up menu
a color picker panel appears above the bonsai. choose your color by touching the coloured square on it.
maybe adjust the brightness with the slider right next the color field.
after 30 seconds the panel vanishes automatically.
or touch the bonsai again to delete the panel manually.

if you want the bonsai oak and the bonsai grass have the exact same color, activate both color picker panels
at the same time and adjust the color on one of them. as long as both panels are active the pots will receive
data from both panels - no matter which one you choose.

CHANGING THE PANEL POSITION:
touch the bonsai.
select [color] from the pop up menu
a color picker panel appears above the bonsai.
it might be stuck in a wall or not at the right position? no problem!
rightclick the panel and select "edit".
move the controller to a convenient position.
make sure you dont move the controller more than 10m from the pot.
let the panel vanish automatically.
next time you want to change something, the panel appears at the last position.
if you have moved the bonsai or the controller more than 30 meters, it will
reset the position to the default position again.
