GUI Blend Mode?

by Gellyware · in Torque Game Builder · 05/09/2007 (7:04 pm) · 1 replies

Is there a way to set the blend mode for GUI Bitmaps?

What I'm looking to do is have a gray scale GUI that changes color to match the levels. Blend Mode seems obvious but I can't seem to find anything related to GUI Blend Modes.

Any suggestions?

Oh I see what you want, Like the original tetris, where the background and pieces and everything change color each level. A grayscale background + blending would be a very cool way to do that, but, no, guis don't have "blending" like sceneobjects do, you would need to implement it yourself. But then again, it might take less time to just recolor your bitmaps in photoshop and resave them. If you do implement this I would be interested in seeing it!

For some controls you can specify a fill color in the profile. If you modified fillcolor's code to accept an alpha value you could get what you want.
