Command-based Display Module: Bitmap background colors

Taichi  Jun 21, 2019

I'm using the command-based module with the ST library and the MixtureDisplayMode to display a button image.  I want to put the same button image over various background colors, but the edges of the button aren't blending into the background color well.  Is there a way to do this without having to recreate the button image for every single background image color?

Hello Taichi,

My recommendation would be to change the edges of your button to be a slightly less-intense color compared to the button's main color.

For example, if you have a grey button, make the edges of the button very slightly darker to make it feel like it is fading away.

Additionally, make sure the edges of your button do not have any transparent pixels. The GT-CP module cannot render transparent pixels and makes those pixels white.
