====== About the script ======
  * Purpose : This is a script that will move a panel to the opposite of the desktop, to give the illusion that it is a hole.

====== How to use the script ======
Check the video to better understanding. (link) It is difficult to understand I know, but the fact is that both are panels, both are placed relative to the screen, not the desktop. That's why it makes the illusion of holes, but they are panels!

It works also with zoom, and it move all the panels labeled "Hole" in the container.

It works also with panels inside folders, panels inside panels, etc. But to avoid misunderstanding the instructions says 'desktop' for the parent and 'panels' for the child panels it has.

Have in mind that you will be able to see only the main page of the panel, it's recommended to check 'use desktop size' under layout on the panels settings. This will help you setting it.

Instructions:
  * Copy/paste this script as a new one.
  * Set it to run on the position change event of the desktop. Only the desktop, NOT the panels!
  * Label the panels you want to as "Hole", the others won't work;
  * [Optional] Disable the scrolling of the panels (Scroll direction: No scrolling at all)
  * [Optional] Check the no scroll limit of the desktop, disable snap to pages and enable pinch to zoom and diagonal scrolling to move freely the panel.
These last two instructions are just optional, maybe you find an awesome way of using this script without them.

====== Script code ======
<sxh javascript>
//Vars
var desk =LL.getEvent().getContainer();
var scale = desk.getPositionScale();
var items=desk.getItems();

//for each item
for(var i=items.getLength()-1;i>=0;--i){
	var panop = items.getAt(i);
	if(panop.getLabel()!="Hole" || panop.getType()!="Panel")continue;//only panels labeled "Hole"

	var pan=panop.getContainer();
	
	//Relative position
	var posX= Math.round(panop.getPositionX())-desk.getPositionX();
	var posY= Math.round(panop.getPositionY())-desk.getPositionY();
	

	//The offset of the position if the panel has margins/borders/padding respectively
	//if your pannels don't have, you can comment this section to avoid extra operations
	var prop=panop.getProperties().getBox("i.box");
	posX+=prop.getSize("ml")+prop.getSize("bl")+prop.getSize("pl");
	posY+=prop.getSize("mt")+prop.getSize("bt")+prop.getSize("pt");
	
	
	//the final position
	pan.setPosition( posX*scale , posY*scale ,1/scale,false);
}
</sxh>
