Hello,
I've got a problem with the (inputtext plugin) SolidColor elements opacity setting opacity for FontColor element aswell. I've read already that they are indeed connected. I'm here asking if there is a way to seperate those and make the search box almost invisible while the text inside it is visible.
code if that helps:
No, not really. You can have the initial "box", before you click in it, be a Shape or Image meter with as much transparency as you want, but once you click in it the input field created by the InputText measure will share transparency settings with both the input field, and the text in it. In reality, the "alpha" value on FontColor is entirely ignored by an InputText measure. Only the alpha value on SolidColor is used.
Nothing we can easily do about that, Windows itself does not support native input controls with transparent fields and solid text. Creating our own custom input control with all the capabilities of the native control would just be a Manhattan Project level of effort.
Just to be anal-retentive about this, I don't find that fact that you have to have the input text sorta "jammed up" against the left of the input box in the code above to be entirely pleasing. I'd be tempted to do:
