GradientButton, set 2 colours and the background blends

[BruceSteers]

I've been making this pretty little thing called a GradientButton

Set ColorHi and ColorLo and button bg will be a blend from Hi to Lo

On hover the color pulses
On MousePress the colors invert

Supports tabpress

Todo..
Support using & to make underscored shortcut keys
Activate properties of normal buttons like Default/Cancel/etc

if have a ugly black line on top of the button ...

get rid of it with:

  
[41 ]$hView.Border = Border.None
[42] $hView.Background = &Hffffffff&

and

[120] Style.PaintButton(2, 2, Paint.Width - 4, Paint.Height - 4, $Value, 0, False, If(Me.HasFocus, Color.SelectedBackground, Color.Default))

What's your system config?
I just loaded my Manjaro and it looked fine.

Border should not = True so should not need setting.
Paint.Button should be painted the maximum size of the view not a few pixels smaller to workaround issues of one desktop config.

that code might fix things on your system but will break thinks on all the others that it looks fine on.

Let me know your config so i can figure out what's causing the black line on your system because like i say i cannot see it on ANY of my other systems so i don't want to add code that adjusts the size of things, it won't look right on other systems.

Cheers for letting me know though

fyi

Code: Select all

[System]
Gambas=3.16.90 6ae9c8f5c (master)
OperatingSystem=Linux
Kernel=5.10.60-1-MANJARO
Architecture=x86_64
Distribution=Manjaro Linux
Desktop=Cinnamon
Font="",72,9 (which is wrong ... should read Font="72",9
Scale=7
Theme=proxy
Language=de_DE.UTF-8
Memory=7836M

and i have bigger problems than a one pixel black line on top ... so i'm fine with that

Found the line on Manjaro cinnamon (Cheers)
Have updated the above archive.
decided to draw the border/box manually and not deal with theme at all

made some other mods like text shadowing

Excellent stuff Bruce. Do you ever sleep, he asks, looking at your posting times?

You can improve the IDE look by adding an image: -

1/. Create an image with all lower case name of your project, in this case 'gradientbutton.png'.
2/. Create a folder '.hidden/control' in the application folder.
3/. Put the image in the new folder.
4/. Restart Gambas.
5/. Et voila!



Here is the image I used.
