Few issues and feature requests

[jbukys]

I've posted it in skewworks page:

Jan 15th 2014:
"I have not found how to vertically center label text. Is there a possibility to do that?
When changing label text then collor, color is not rendered. Vice versa color is rendered correctly. Is it normal?"

Also something is wrong with button text aliasing. It is not super clear form picture, but you can see some white pixels on "Basic" and "Advanced". Very good test make button background blue, button text blue ant there is ghosting. Strangelly disabled buttons renders text correct.

Vertical text on buttons would be a nice feature.

Also as I remember when trying to set label background color 0xd3d3d3 (gray) it did not do it unless i changed it to 0xd3d3d4.

Thank you for posting your issues.
I'm currently adding the API Documentation directly to the sources, and doing this, I also clean up the code a bit. I'm nut 100% sure if I didn't add some new 'bugs' before I've tested everything, so it may take a short while before a stable code is in the repo. But I'll have a look into your issues soon.

About the text rendering issues: Have you tried if you see this in Emulator as well?

p.s. I think it would be good to have 1 entry per bug/issue/feature request, so can track it better

Thank You for Your fast responce.

I'll try to stick one bug per issue in next posts. I have not used Emulator, so I can not confirm this.

The Label issues will be fixed in next release.

I've just checked the button render code.
It renders the text in white with a slightly offset before the text is rendered in normal color.
This is not done when button is disabled.
I assume this should make some kind of embossed text rendering style.
I think that this looks good in some color combinations, but wired in others. And if you want to create a more flat style, then I think it might be disturbing and look like ghosting.
I think I add an option to disable it (and may be make the color adjustable).

[Stabilitronas]

Disabling would be very good.

[jbukys]

thank You. will be waiting for the next release. by the way is there roadmap of development?

[osre77]

@Stabilitronas I havn't tested it so far, but every control should have the Property Enabled. Setting it to false would disable the control.

[Stabilitronas]

No, I mean an option to disable this embossing would be cool.

[osre77]

@jbukys There is no real roadmap, I'm working on this in my free time. Currently I'm commenting, reworking and testing each control. Label and Button are more or less done. I think the more experience I get, the faster it goes. But I don't think there will be a release within the next month.

@Stabilitronas Disabling this feature is already implemented and will be in the next push) as well as changing the color of it.
