#2299+ widget visual customization/features

Hi all,

Just a quick update on some widget visual customization features. These apply to Daily Build #2299 and above:

  1. Visual customization documentation for “newProgressView()” is now in place:

http://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/api/library/widget/newProgressView.html

  1. The long-requested ability to create shape-based (vector object) buttons is now implemented internally. You can now create “newButton()” widgets using the standard Corona vector objects of rectangle, rounded rectangle, circle, and polygon. Also, you can optionally apply a stroke to each (with variable width) and set both the fill/stroke color of these buttons for both the “default” and “over” states. Documentation for this is located here:

http://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/api/library/widget/newButton.html

More skinning and visual customization features/fixes are underway and we’ll roll them out as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Brent

Here’s an idea… How about an updated WidgetDemo sample app version that makes use if these new capabilities? It would be great to have something like that for reference. Thank You.
