Multicolor progress meter problems

Champak · June 8, 2016

I found this multicolor progress coding and decided to incorporate it with another script to colorize the bar based on the signal level of the audio input on the sound card...microphone. My problem is I can't get the colors the way I want them...I can't figure out that part of the code. I've been messing with this two hour and a half and I'm fed up. I want the color to go from green to yellow to red. I would also like the color to switch over at certain parts...like green up to 60% then yellow up to 80% and then red up to 100%...but if that's not possible just simply green to yellow to red.

Please, somebody say they can figure this out. Thanks.

You mean something like this here?

Thanks for the effort, but thats what I originally did. I didnt like it because it wasnt a smooth transition between the colors and just looked rough to me. Something like that may work if i could make it look like the actual old style db meters where it stayed green up to a certain level...yellow up to a certain level and then peak at red like the attached image. I think I can do that by making three progress bars and breaking them up maybe? I dont know how id go about that, its morning and I'm just waking and my brain isnt functioning right now. I'll check into this after work later.

UEZ · June 8, 2016

Well, I would use an image displaying only a portion of it depending of the db level. This can be achieved with GDI+.

Champak · June 10, 2016

What I was trying to do with the progress bars isnt working, and the whole GDI+ is as alien to me as stringregexpreplace. So I'm back to trying to figure out the color calculations in this script. Anyone?

Don't ask me how to change colors because i don't know lol, you need to play with RGB

Champak · June 13, 2016

So this is what I came up with, still not really what I want...but will suffice for now. I made it blend from green to orange and then put a label at the end of the progress bar that turns red if the progress is above 95.
