LCD object draw transparency
This LCD is already getting a load of messages, but I'd love to be able to make transparent PaintRect's on it, somehow. Anyone know how to do this? Doing a message like "paintrect 64 64 192 192 255 255 255 128" still just paints a 128x128 black box, instead of a 128x128 box that's at 50% opacity.
Ah! This is so close to perfect it hurts. It's not even your fault that it doesn't work for me. Pretty sure it's a bug in LCD - after all, penmode messages aren't supposed to work anymore.
The problem is that whenever I move my paintrect (I'm using them as 'zone' delineation, the user can move them around and resize them) it flashes to more opaque. It seems to draw over itself a few times before it clears the old versions of it, so it's layering on top of itself. Maybe I can bother the devs enough into giving LCD true transparency support. :P
Thanks much, though! I'll keep toying with it and see what I can get.
I will be out of the office from August 7 until August 25 and will not
have access to my email account. If you need assisitance while I am away
please contact Ana Varas at 754-321-2050 or ana.varas@browardschools.com
Thank you
OK, what's with these messages from barbara? This is the second time I've seen one.
i'd recommend staying away from penmodes. Unless i'm misunderstanding, you can just send a 'frgb x x x x' before you paint in lcd:
this is technically a workaround, there is some funkiness with paint commands ignoring the alpha. We are taking a look at it.
