Is there a DrawEllipse function available from a skin.xml file?

Thanks,

Hi

Have just installed latest 95.11 GBPVR

.

Wonder if anyone can advise me how to set the transparency property of the buttons in the main menu. I have set the button to be invisible under non selected buttons (set fillcolour = transparent) and orange on the selected button. But on the selected button I can see through the orange colour to the background below. How do I make my orange button opaque?

Earlier Sub indictaed that this button transparency thing would be set-able in the next version (95.11?)

Would be grateful if somone would let me know how to do this.

What has always happened in GB-PVR is the controls are drawn on to foreground picture, then combined with the background picture with 80% transparency. It used to be hard coded to 80%, but can now be changed using the following setting in the "main menu\skin.xml":

Code:

<SpecialElement name="ForegroundTransparency" percent="80"/>

Take a look in the "blue\mainmenu\skin.xml" for an example.

This may or may not have been what you were hoping for.
