[REBOL] Re: Mix effect

From: anton::wilddsl::net::au at: 26-Mar-2006 12:09

Hi Paul, I think you mean when you specify an effect of your own the default effect is lost. I think the EXTEND effect was lost, which means MIX actually mixed the gradient at normal size with the glow image at a small size (un-extended). EXTEND is added near the end of the BTN init code:
>> probe svv/vid-styles/btn/init
... ... if all [image not effect] [ effect: copy [] if color [repend effect ['colorize color depth]] repend effect ['extend image/size/2] ] ... And you can see the OVER looks for 'extend to position the MIX correctly. It works without the EXTEND, and it does not add it if it is not there.
>> print mold get in svv/vid-styles/btn/feel 'over
func [face act evt][ remove/part find face/effect 'mix 2 if act [ evt: any [find face/effect 'extend tail face/effect] insert evt reduce ['mix face/images/3] ] show face ] Note that GRADIENT is kind of a "blanket" effect. It overwrites the rendering image without any kind of blending or consideration for prior effects. I think you might be happier with GRADCOL: layout [ btn "custom effect" with [ append init [append effect [gradcol]] ] ] Regards, Anton.
