Hi pekr
When I put up an oval button, I get a (for instance) blue round button
that looks cut out of a solid white square, in a window with background
color gray.
What I want is a round blue button that looks cut out of a solid grey
square (with no edge), in a window with background color gray.
So what I want is basically a round, flat, blue button coming out of the
background.
But I don't seem to be able to get that.
Rebol/view seems to pick a color for the "cutout" area automatically; I
can't seem to specify what I want
view layout [backcolor 255.255.0 button 120x120 255.255.0 "test" with
[effect: [0x1 oval ] edge: [color: 255.240.0] ] ]
For instance, is almost there; I get a yellow button, with a black
cutout area, with (slightly different) yellow edges, on a window with a
background yellow color.
If I could control the color of that black cutout area, I'd have what I
want.
(since I'm using the released version of View/Pro I don't think the new
merge words are available to me; and since I need Call, I'm kind of
stuck with this version)
