Re: Adding Effects to widgets

HH: what is one or two examples of an "astounding visual effect" that you achieved? I'm looking at putting these on top of photos, looking for the most elegant integration…. The group will automatically be an ugly rectangle/square, (which doesn't help) try this: go stack url

Re: Compound Path SVG Breaks in Widget?

Just re-created your SVG from the SVG text and opened the file in Affinity Designer, then exported it as SVG, converted back to text and then extracted the SVG paths: M112,0l-100,0c-6.583,0 -12,5.417 -12,12c0,6.583 5.417,12 12,12l100,0c6.583,0 12,-5.417 12,-12c0,-6.583 -5.417,-12

Jacque, I had intermittent luck with touchMove as well. I was using it to swipe open a “delete” button. In the app that uses this feature there is another way to accomplish the same thing so I settled for intermittent. Selfishly, hoping it was something I did wrong and that you would solve it
