Transparent layer background

Post by sashapont »

Is it possible to make transparent layer background for text?

Code: Select all

 CreateLayer(x,y,w,h,{Name = myLayer})
    SelectLayer(myLayer)
        TextOut(h+5, 0, Text$)                                                                           
     EndSelect

Maybe with CreateTextObject It makes a trasparent text.

You need to add an alpha channel or a mask to the layer using CreateLayer() and then use #SELMODE_COMBO with SelectLayer(). Then it should work.
