I have yet to see a UI where an on-off switch is translucent or do you mean only the thumb? It's possible to implement everything in the graphics layer but it's 100 times harder than just adding a component or making an improvement to the theme/gui builder. You need to implement it 5x in native and test it on multiple device versions, plus unit testing, regressions and performance. All the other stuff you just do in Java in the simulator.
Sure some developers notice it and it's a problem. But we don't implement low level stuff for its own reward. We implement it based on requirements. E.g. we have perspective transform which doesn't exist in JavaSE and was a hell of a problem to implement properly. We needed it to represent some effects that are common in iOS e.g. the Spinner/Picker and album cover interfaces. So in that sense it was worth adding this feature. I look through the support and issue tracker every day, I know what people are asking for. You are arguing that we get the requests based on the product we have which is totally possible. But from my experience the "if you build it they will come" mantra is bullshit. I'd rather address the issues that are easier to address from the people who are asking for them. E.g. in this thread you're asking for porter duff which is great, if you have a partial PR we can work to add that. But Dave is asking for something completely different and the next guy around will ask for something completely different. I'd rather put the effort into getting the damn on-off switch working properly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CodenameOne Discussions" group.
