I use a canvas on a canvas to generate a more consistent and generic toolbar for my cross platform apps. I’ve just noticed that the top-layer canvas - which has Transparent set - doesn’t pick up the color of it’s parent, but instead that canvas’ parent (the main container background color)
Archive and Backup are different things: An archive is a collection of historical records that are kept for long-term retention and used for future reference. Typically, archives contain data that is not actively used. Basically, a backup is a copy of a set of data, while an archive holds original data that has been removed from its original location.
That was a rough-up shot that I just placed some PNG’s into …
It’s done that way to allow me to manipulate the text and images without the issues that I was seeing trying to draw/paint the image and text into the parent canvas previously.
How are you drawing your content?
Is the whole thing an image or do you drawstring the text or is that a label?
Is the image I see a drawpicture or on the background?
Can you put up a simple demo as I cant seem to replicate it with primitives (filloval etc.)
Just remember in Xojo 2018 the Canvas is not transparent anymore (sic!) on Windows.
