Glow?

[Jonathan Mama]

Is there a way to add a glow effect in the theme editor?

[Colin Nicholls]

Yes and no.

1. What is a "glow effect" ?

2. It's bitmaps, you can do anything within the limits of each bitmap

3. Therefore you can't make a button with a "glow effect" that affects surrounding UI outside the limits of the bitmap

4. You can make buttons look like they are glowing, kinda. Flight_Deck uses a pretty subtle glow on active controls, some of them.

If you wanted to add an outside glow to anything, you would need to make the button image smaller and make the outside glow entirely within the button limits itself.

Look for the AC Dark Aqua theme, should be a ou-le of pages down in this sub forum. It uses a glow effect, as I understand glow effects.

‘I would say that a glow effect is a gradient from a dark color to a lighter one.
