I now made a major overhaul of the entire user interface (without changing too much) to offer different styles/themes.
With tihs change I introduce a new DARK theme (the new default setting), which contains more subtle elements to differentiate the controls from each other.
Also I finally implemented a LIGHT theme.
And, the flame-library now shows also thumbnail-previews of the flames.
Complete changelog:
VERSION 0.90 (29.04.2025):
made a major overhaul of the entire user interface (without changing too much) to offer different styles/themes
- there is a strange behavior in Godot of transparent textures that get a hue of a parent component. This could not be disabled,
but had to be circumvented in several areas of the user interface (usually this is not visible when using only a dark theme/background)
- introduced a new DARK theme (the new default setting), which contains more subtle elements to differentiate the controls from each other
- implemented a LIGHT theme
- flame-editor: refresh resolution-combobox after changing orientation
- flame-editor: added a "reset to defaults"-button to both the affine-transform-section and the affine-post-transforms section
- internal change: added a simple http-server addon ( https://github.com/deep-entertainment/godottpd ) for later implementing a REST api
- internal change: implemented a cmdline-args-parser
VERSION 0.89 (21.04.2025):
the flame-library now shows also thumbnail-previews of the flames.
This was a more challenging task than it may sound, because only changed flames should be re-rendered and the thumbnail-rendering
process should not interfere with the preview-rendering process of the currently selected flame and everything must work asynchronously.
