I'm still loking for a reliable way to get a good contrast between
text and a random background picture. The best I've come up with
yet is:
colorset 27 transparent, fg white, fgsh black
menustyle * menucolorset 27
menustyle * font "Shadow=1 n s e w nw ne sw se:lucidasanstypewriter-14"
A black halo is drawn around the the white text. But the halo is
still too thin to give a good contrast. If it were possible to
extend the halo to a size of 2 it would be much more readable.
Look at this:
.......
.......
.......
...x...
.......
.......
.......
The X in the center marks the upper left pixel of the text. The
shadow (size 1) is drawn eight times at these offsets:
.......
.......
..ooo..
..o.o..
..ooo..
.......
.......
With size 2 it is drawn like this:
.......
.o.o.o.
..ooo..
.oo.oo.
..ooo..
.o.o.o.
.......
But I need this:
.......
.ooooo.
.ooooo.
.oo.oo.
.ooooo.
.ooooo.
.......
Any chance you get around to implement something like this,
Olivier? All that would be needed is another "direction" option
"center" and a loop drawing the shadows:
for (x = -size; x <= size; x++)
{
for (y = -size; y <= size; y++)
{
if (x < -offset || x > offset || y < -offset || y > offset)
{
draw_shadow_at(x, y);
}
}
}
Bye
