712 and display.newEmbossedText()

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Did this change in 721 or change as part of the Widget 0.5 changes?

titleText = display.newEmbossedText( “My Text String”, 0, 0, “Helvetica-Bold”, 20, { 255, 255, 255 } )

Used to draw white, now its drawing black with white emboss.

Also I was positioning the string on top of a navBar with:

titleText.y = titleBar.y + titleBar.height * 0.5

But now I need to leave that titleBar.height * 0.5 off. I do have my status bar showing…

The widget sample code does not pass the color array during the display.newEmbossedText call, but does a :setColor() after the initial call.

I applied this to my app and it worked. So yes, it appears to have changed.

Dunno about the change in positioning unless the reference point changed.
