indicator "not"-function?

When busy playing around with skins (which most of never get finished or not even saved), somtimes it would be handy that you could turn over the indicator effect.

E.g. when you have random on, that something like indi_random not, would make a layer disappear.

Cause when I want that sort of effects now, I have to copy how the background looks, and make the background-copy appear in front of the thing I want to disappear.

Yes! I second that. Like an indi_random and an indi_random_off or something. It's usually not a problem, until you decide to make a skin that includes transparency, so you can't just block out the "off" state.

erm perhaps create a toggle button within the skin somewhere which toggles on/off such layers
you could assign the same temp id and toggle x amount of layers with on/off with save state for during development/wip to act as such

use
action_layer_hide or aclahide
action_layer_show or aclashow

i dont think ther is a need for exactly what your after as this would require either lots of extra keywords when the above would work as required, other than that you know mainly what things are going to look like as your working directly in the psd

This is definitely feasible and could be implemented similar to the other Request here -> http://xion.r2.com.au/community/vwtpc.php?t=327

I'm thinking a keyword such as 'reverse' or 'opposite' or something.

Will update both threads when this is in :)
