Using embossed text (including the default text in widget buttons) and Composer with fade or crossFade transitions looks bad. Bad enough that I think it should be considered a bug.
It appears that what happens is the white that’s behind the black doesn’t fade out with everything else - it stays white. You end up with the white part of the embossed text showing on the next scene for a split second.
Here’s a picture showing the problem – I’ve just hit the Options button on the menu scene and it’s done a crossFade to the Options scene. You can still see the buttons from the previous scene fading out…
But notice the Play text is faded out like the buttons, but the Options and About text are very visible – that’s because I put emboss=false in the Play widget.
I first noticed this when just using embossed text on a scene (using Storyboard, not Composer) and now I realize it happens with the buttons, too – because of the embossed text that’s defaulted to true.
Is it a bug?
