Transparent splash screen

(1/6) > >>

afb:
The transparent splash screen (splash_new.png) doesn't work on Mac OS X:



Should we default it to "off", or should we use the old splash ? (splash.png)

thomas:
There sure is a way to implement it under MacOS, I just don't happen to know one.
Probably, it even supports hardware transparency and doesn't need that screengrab-blit-hack we're using because of Windows 98.

afb:
Fixing it would be best, of course. Just that this was easier... :-)
I take it that we don't want to use the old one then, good riddance.

Can always have it default to "hidden" on wxMac, until it is fixed.

Ceniza:
Hmmm... the screengrab-blit-hack was to get it working on Linux...

afb: could you check the splash screen demo included in wxWidgets' sources and see if it works correctly there?

afb:
wxFRAME_SHAPED class window "works", but since it seems wx 2.6.3 uses QuickDraw and the Window Manager it is limited to a single "transparent color" type of alpha, and not the full alpha channel that the splash uses (need CoreGraphics for that).

So the best is probably to turn it off for now, and perhaps try again later with wx 2.7.x ?
