question about AutoRenderingSurface

[Rincevent]

I was trying to enable AutoRenderingSurface in my skin on the framewindow level the same way it is done on TaharezLook skin.
However I am somehow screwing up my skin by doing that.


Here is how it looks like with AutoRenderingSurface set to false:


The looknfeel file:

Code: Select all

   
<WidgetLook name="TaharezLook/FrameWindow">
        <PropertyDefinition name="ClientAreaColour" initialValue="4C000000" redrawOnWrite="true" />
        <PropertyLinkDefinition name="CaptionColour" widget="__auto_titlebar__" targetProperty="CaptionColour" initialValue="FFFFFFFF" />
        <PropertyLinkDefinition name="TitlebarFont" widget="__auto_titlebar__" targetProperty="Font" />
        <Property name="NSSizingCursorImage" value="set:TaharezLook image:MouseNoSoCursor" />
        <Property name="EWSizingCursorImage" value="set:TaharezLook image:MouseEsWeCursor" />
        <Property name="NWSESizingCursorImage" value="set:TaharezLook image:MouseNwSeCursor" />
        <Property name="NESWSizingCursorImage" value="set:TaharezLook image:MouseNeSwCursor" />
        <Property name="UnifiedMinSize" value="{{0.1,0},{0.1,0}}" />
        <Property name="AutoRenderingSurface" value="False" />


And here is how it looks like with AutoRenderingSurface set to true:


The looknfeel file:

Code: Select all

   
<WidgetLook name="TaharezLook/FrameWindow">
        <PropertyDefinition name="ClientAreaColour" initialValue="4C000000" redrawOnWrite="true" />
        <PropertyLinkDefinition name="CaptionColour" widget="__auto_titlebar__" targetProperty="CaptionColour" initialValue="FFFFFFFF" />
        <PropertyLinkDefinition name="TitlebarFont" widget="__auto_titlebar__" targetProperty="Font" />
        <Property name="NSSizingCursorImage" value="set:TaharezLook image:MouseNoSoCursor" />
        <Property name="EWSizingCursorImage" value="set:TaharezLook image:MouseEsWeCursor" />
        <Property name="NWSESizingCursorImage" value="set:TaharezLook image:MouseNwSeCursor" />
        <Property name="NESWSizingCursorImage" value="set:TaharezLook image:MouseNeSwCursor" />
        <Property name="UnifiedMinSize" value="{{0.1,0},{0.1,0}}" />
        <Property name="AutoRenderingSurface" value="True" />


I am basically loosing the half transparency (the "4C" set as areacolour seems to be somehow replaced by "00") and the text seems to display without anti-aliasing. So I was wondering if I am doing something wrong in there?

Hi,

I am aware of some graphical glitches concerning alpha blend modes and the use of RTT. I don't have a solution right at this moment; I'll try and look at it again before next week though can't promise I will get to it, nor any quick fixes

Just to update on this... The issue with alpha blending should now be resolved for all renderers except Irrlicht (due to no apparent support for separate colour / alpha blend modes - I'll look for an alternative work around for that if need be).
