Hi,(Was already in another thread but just as a "bump") Not specifically alpha, but to change the brightness of my MFD's i use this element as last one in the row:................. (A:Circuit general panel on, bool) (L:bright,enum) 0 == (L:bright,enum) 1 == (L:bright,enum) 2 == (L:bright,enum) 3 == (L:bright,enum) 4 == (L:bright,enum) 5 == (L:bright,enum) 6 == (L:bright,enum) 7 == (L:bright,enum) 8 == (L:bright,enum) 9 == (L:bright,enum) 10 ==..............and on the pedestal a rotary knob:............. (L:bright,enum) 4 /................MFD's Less Bright (L:bright,enum) 1 - 0 max (>L:bright,enum)MFD's More Bright (L:bright,enum) 1 + 11 min (>L:bright,enum)...............Gives a nice effect!Jan"Procul Negotiis"

Jan,Thanks!! This is awesome. I was looking for an easy way to do global brightness for my CRT gauges and this will be perfect!

Have you got this to work with the circle type instead of rectangle? I can only get rectangle to recognize the transparency feature :( All those circular instruments has to be "brightened" by lots of blocks of rectangles? #####? Or did I miss something (most likely)?

Karl,This works only with the rectangles; i tried the circles in many ways, but up until now no succes.So for the the circulair instruments i use the rectangle snippet and behind that element a bitmap with the instrument shape wherein a "circulair hole".It works ok, but not totally happy with the solution.Tried the masks too, but no succes.Jan"Procul Negotiis"
