MSI Afterburner 4.6.3 RTSS 7.3.2 My question is how do you give a border to osd layout in overlay editor, something like this https://imgur.com/a/K1mbIfu It doesn't have to be multi colored like this, single color is fine too So far what I have tried is to "Add embedded image" and make it look like border but it ends up not looking very clean at edges, so is there a better method? Been trying to search info on this from past few days and couldn't find anything.
I think I can simplify the process of creating borders by adding adjutable margin for the layer's background fill color. This way you'll be able to create two overlapping solid color filled layers having exactly the same sizes and positions, but define a few pixel margin for the topmost one.
If it's not too much trouble to you, I think it would help people save some time I got it done with embedded images but it took me few hours.
Done, I’ve already implemented adjustable margins for layers, which affect layer background color fill area and can be used to implement borders. Margins can be adjusted independently for left, top, right and bottom layer edges. Margins are specified in zoomed pixels (pixels * OSD zoom ratio), both positive (inner margin) and negative (outer margin) are allowed. So you can easily achieve border effect by specifying equal margins for all edges, or for example combine positive (inner) margins for top/left with negative (outer) margins for bottom/right to achieve layer shadow effect.
I'm having difficulty understanding this because I imagine placing two semi-transparent boxes over each other always resulting in the border being lighter than the center. I think I'm missing some way to get just a darker border. Can you fill me in? We can craft a one-sentence explanation for use in the app as a GUI mouseover hint. Thanks for adding this border feature so quickly after it was brought up, great job!!
I will give a more clear example This is a semi transparent box around some information to make it more visible in game. The only way I can imagine giving this a dark border is by making a semi-transparent WHITE layer with smaller borders in the background, essentially brightening the dark background except the border. Here's my first shot at using a white background to make a dark background less dark, so the border stays more dark: Does this make sense? Is there another way to make a border?
Guys i still didnt get how to increase margins at the left and top side if i use Afterburner default template? Also can i make hotkeys for different OSD layouts like - FPS only, Light, Full etc..
