Color on Menu about pebblejs

[sarfata]

Yes it will be possible. The new menu seen in the kickstarter video is just not yet part of the Pebble SDK. Once it is available in the pebble sdk, we can add it in pebble.js.

Stay tuned!

Hi,
there is still a problem with the image icon of the menu...if set to white the background of the image, I see it correctly, but when I select the item I see it wrong..look at the first item, the not selected one:

And when I select it:

Viceversa if I set transparent the background of the image, here the image:

Thanks for reporting the issue! For whatever reason, menu_cell_basic_draw on basalt does not automatically alpha blend. The fix on master will eventually make it to CloudPebble when the color support is better.

Ok it works like a magic! Thank you!
PS: don't worry, we don't use CloudPebble ;)

How do I set the background of an icon? Got the same problem:

Hey @srabenhorst, I responded to your ticket #55, but I'll also answer your question here. With the fix in #55, you would make sure your image only has black and white and no antialiasing.

Without the fix in #55 and just the fix in this ticket, #42, you would set the pixels that are part of the background to be fully transparent (alpha 255), and they would no longer incorrectly highlight. The only issue then is that you'd have to set the icon color to anything other than black or white.

@Meiguro the issue regarding icons appears to be fixed now, both here and in cloud pebble. However, menus still don't appear to support colors in the text portions (title, subtitle...).

Does this ticket also refer to that issue? I'm working on a fix now, however I'm unsure how to handle text colors when the menu item is selected. If the text is black, it should be inverted to appear correctly, like menus currently do. But should this same inversion affect also happen to colors? I would assume not; if the text is red then it should stay red. But what about for darker colors like dark gray for example? Invert it to light gray? (And all other special cases, like dark purple, etc...)

Hopefully i can figure something out for this, then submit a PR.

Thanks everyone, open a new issue if there are any other color-lacking areas.
