Now I am curious if I can apply a gradient to a texture. Testing... I'll get back to you.
Edit:
Okay tested... And here is the easiest way I came up with. I made a gradient texture and added some chop to it.... ie used one of my random brushed in gimp and made the choppy pattern on it.
Code:
{ name = "tester", -- test
anchor_to = "CENTER", anchor_to = "CENTER",
y_off = 0, height = "20%", width = "40%", level = 0,
tex_file = "testtexture.tga",
bg_color = {0,0,1}, bg_alpha = 0.45, -- was playing with different alphas for the screenshots
},
{ name = "tester2", -- test
anchor_to = "CENTER", anchor_to = "CENTER",
y_off = 0, height = "20%", width = "40%", level = 0,
bg_color = {0,0,0}, bg_alpha = 0,
border = "SOLID", border_color = {0,0,0},
},
Same effect, half the work? And you could easily just put the border on the main frame. I just kept it apart so I wouldn't mistakenly delete any of it
I've got the texture available if you'd like to use it, its in the zip file.
