Vision 1210 Colours

[petercolquhoun]

Hi,

 

I am writing an application for the Vision 1210, I have various images and text displays and I have chosen the background colour of my images to be identical to one of the background colours provided by visilogic.

 

In the attached screen shot the list of texts highlighted and the timer variable to it's right have the same background colour (according to the background selection dialogue) but the backgrounds of each variable are subtly different. This is rather irritating because I can't achieve the look I want ie all controls appear to be transparent.

 

I can't see a transparent flag on these controls so I assumed making the background colours the same would have the same effect.

 

Can you suggest anything to fix this??

 

Pete.

Hi Pete

 

For text variables, numerica variables and timer variables you can select the following configuration:

 

Style: FLAT

 

Back Color: you need to select the "blue crystal" at the left side of the OK button. Is like selecting transparent as back color.

 

With image variables things are a little bit complex. If you want great results, then you must manually paint the background of all your images, that´s because when you select the box of transparent background you can lose some zones of your image that you want to keep the same color you are making transparent. That´s why I love Unistream and Unilogic. No matter they upgrade Visilogic to accept PNG format, the transparency didn´t work as you expected. I will try to upload an image.
