Re: Set the Opacity of a Button Background

This a great solution Paul. And by using a roundrect graphic in place of a button, you can create pill-style (fully radiused) button -- unless there's a radius setting for roundrect buttons I've missed somewhere. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 3/3/16, 6

Re: Set the Opacity of a Button Background

You are more than welcome, like most people on this list I’m just pleased to help. :) I’m sure you’ll realize, but the key to this effect is using the Ink setting ‘blendHardLight' with neutral colours, then any tone above 50% will darken the colours below and any tone less than 50% will lighten

Re: Set the Opacity of a Button Background

@ Scott Thank you. Actually all these other methods have their use cases. Yes, am familiar with using other controls as "buttons" anything with a mouseUp script will do the job in 80% of the cases. BR On March 1, 2016 at 11:26:57 AM, Scott Rossi (sc...@tactilemedia.com

Re: Set the Opacity of a Button Background

Re: Set the Opacity of a Button Background

By adjusting some colour values and the ink mode I could achieve what I think you are looking for, however I may have misunderstood, because I don’t quite understand the bit about having 50% opacity of a clear background! Link to demo stack with my interpretation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xhjq

Re: Set the Opacity of a Button Background

It sounds to me that you want the color of the button to be 50% … meaning that the card (or whatever) below it will show though. And, you want the border and name of button to be opaque… if all that is correct, you might want to give this a try. create an image in the color you want the button
