Setting gradient type bug(?)

Post by Ferin »

Hi there.

It's my first post in here, so first i say hello to everyone.
Now let's get to less pleasent things. I've been told that it's probably not Designer's bug,
but as I use only Designer (can't do any programming so far) so i post it here.

To reproduce bug i found, you have to:
- Create a page
- set gradient to radial or conical
- run script and... gradient is linear.
It seems to affect only page's background. On objects it works as intended.

Yes, same here. If transition is used to show the page, then gradient is ok, but as soon as the transition is over, the gradient is changed to linear.

Yes, I can confirm this bug too. Will be fixed, thanks for reporting!

As a workaround, you can just create a filled rectangle which covers the entire page and uses the desired gradient settings. Set its display mode to "Background" and move it all the way to the bottom of the z-order.

This was actually a Hollywood bug introduced in 5.3. Fixed now.

Code: Select all

- Fix: CreateGradientBGPic() didn't work with types #RADIAL and #CONICAL; this bug was introduced in
  Hollywood 5.3; it worked before that
