Width, Height  In pixels, any reasonable value is accepted

Hint:  Play Example2.html.  It has a different display size than Example.html.

In the Scheme parameter, target = 1 for the main window, target = 2 for the secondary window.

Since CoolBE loads and plays one image at a time, a partition can help reduce image size, for better performance.

<param name="Partition" value="130, East">

The partition parameter has two variables: size, location

size    In pixels

This is the width or the height of the partition, depending on the value of location.  You can enter 0 for no partition.

The CoolBE program plays the themes in a infinite loop, in ascending numerical order, from FirstTheme up to and including LastTheme. For example,

<param name="FirstTheme" value="040">
<param name="LastTheme" value="098">

The values for a theme number must be three digits, anyone from 000 to 999.  The LastTheme must not be less than the FirstTheme

Hint: You may select any range of themes to play by using "FirstTheme" and "LastTheme",  which can be helpful during testing.

<param name="096TextStr" value="Welcome to the CoolBE show |You can make one for yourself |and it is FREE ">

You can enter any text here. Keep the quotation marks at the ends of the text string. The "|" character is a symbol for a new line. You can use it to enter multiple lines in one theme display.

To change your text appearance, use the TextPar parameter,
<param name="095TextPar" value="10, 60, Helvetica, I, 22, ffff50, 200">

It has seven variables:  x0, y0, font, style, size, color, length

x0    starting position (from the left side of the window)
       Value in pixels

y0    starting position from the top of the window
        Value in pixels

font  Any valid font name (Dialog, Helvetica, TimesRoman, Courier, and so on)

style   PLAIN, BOLD, or ITALIC
            These can be shortened to P,p,B,b,I,i

size    the text size, in pixels

color   text color in hexadecimal format
             Same as HTML color definition, without the "#"
             Example: ff0000 is red

length   Length of the string to display
             Value in pixels
             If not 0, CoolBE will adjust the text size to fit

Each window on the display can have a four-sided border, which can be changed (color, width, and appearance) with each theme:  

<param name="049Border" value="4, 0, 3fa435">

Variables:  Width, Style, color

Width of each side of the border,  in pixels, 0 = no border

Style
0 = 3D (raised then recessed)
1 = raised
2 = recessed

color  In hex format
Same as HTML color definition but without the "#" character

Hint: Should the border size be taken into consideration when sizing the image?  The border cover the edges of the image. If your border is 5, the image will lose 5 pixels on each edge.

The ImageFL is used to load an image, e.g.
<param name="096ImageFL" value="user/downtown1.jpg">

Parameter value:  filename

filename The relative filename of the image
Any JPG or GIF images can be used.
The file must be in the same directory as, or a subdirectory of, the CoolBE class files.

Hint: Try to make your image dimensions the same or at most just a little larger than the window size.  Many schemes allow the image to be stretched or squeezed to fill the space.

Try to make your image file size as small as possible.  The WebsiteGarage can help you reduce the image file size.

All the images in the CoolBE/user directory can be replaced with your own. The animation control of the images are in the Scheme Parameter

LinkURL is for you to enter a hyperlink to go to when that theme is clicked. You may enter one for each theme.

<param name="040LinkURL" value="http://www.CoolBE.com">

Parameter value: address

address  The full web address (URL)

Hint: If the "LinkURL" statement is omitted, the previous URL is assumed.   A click on any theme that does not have a URL will activate the URL of the latest theme that has a URL.

Scheme is the master control for each theme: it directs the animation for the theme.  

You can choose among twenty three animation choices for each theme. You can define the speed, the location, the area, the direction, and the target window for each theme. For example,
<param name="114Scheme" value="1, 30, 2, 50, 0, 50, 100, 1, 2">

Variables: control, speed, pause, x0, y0, width, height, direction, target

control  How the image and text are to be played:

0  = display text only, on previous background, if any
1  = display image only
2  = same as 1, but squeeze or stretch the image to fit
3  = display image and text
4  = same as 3, but squeeze or stretch the image to fit
5  = zoom image and text from x0,y0 to Width and Height
6  = zoom last display and add new text
7  = zoom out image while text remains the same size
8  = zoom out last display and add new static text
9  = display image in full window and zoom text
10 = zoom text on top of last display
11 = slide new image and text into window
12 = slide last display and new text into window
13 = slide image into window and display static text
14 = slide last display into window add new static text
15,16,17, and 18 = same as 11,12,13, and 14, but slide past the window
19 = animate a small image on top of last display
20 = marquee text on top of last display
21 = marquee text with a small image on top of last display 
22 = marquee text between an image and last display

speed  speed of the animation, in seconds 
            Value 1 to 3000

pause  seconds to pause before beginning the next theme, 0 = no pause

x0   starting position from the left side of the window
       Value, in percent, 0 to 100, is relative to the window width

y0    starting position from the top side of the window
       Value, in percent, 0 to 100, is relative to the window height

width  Width of the window in which the action will take place
         Value, in percent, 20 to 100, is relative to the window width
         0 in zoom will hold the width static

height  Height of the window in which the action will take place
         Its value, in percent, 20 to 100, is relative to the window height
         0 in zoom will hold the height static

direction  Direction of the animation:
       1 = from the top left corner
       2 = from the top middle
       3 = from the top right corner
       4 = from the left middle
       5 = from the center
       6 = from the right middle
       7 = from the left bottom corner
       8 = from the bottom middle
       9 = from the bottom right corner

target  where this theme will be shown:
       1 = the main display window
       2 = the secondary window, if set

Hint: x0 and y0 are the origin of the display, while Width and Height are the dimensions of the display.
The tricks are that these are relative to the display area. 50 means middle. If you want squeeze an image into the lower-right corner, the values should all be 50. That is: half from the left edge of the window, half from the top, half as wide as the window, and half as high.

Where to start the image is defined by direction.
