Say we have an image as follows: +------+ | +--+ | | | | | | | | | | +--+ | +------+ where the outer part is a 5px wide red border and the inner part is white. If you set evas' image border to 5px all around, and scale up to a larger size, what *I* would prefer to see is simply: +------------------+ | +--------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +--------------+ | +------------------+ That is, keep the 4 corner regions as they are, scale the side pieces vertically, scale the top regions horizontally, and scale the inside as normal. I haven't looked at evas' current code, but I know one thing it does differently from this is that the scaling takes into account the color of the pixels closest to the inside of the bottom and right borders while scaling the center. So, you actually get something like: +------------------+ | +--------------+ | | | \| | | | \| | | | \ \ \ \ \ \ \| | | +--------------+ | +------------------+ where the \'s are a fade from red to white. I understand this is just a result of the algorithm used, but I'd definitely prefer to see it done like above. (Basically scale each of the 9 sections individually and stick em back together). But, as I said, I haven't looked at the actual algorithm used currently, so I don't know if this would be a performance hit to get 'right'. -- rephorm _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
