Make Widget buttons a circle?

Hi everyone

I have been working on a small game all day and have begun to test the basic framework of it.  I have multiple widget buttons that i have circle graphics for, but if i touch right outside of it in the 4 corners, it still registers as a hit for the button.  I am wondering if there is anyway to make this go away and have it hit only on the circle.

Thanks!

Hi @icero,

At this time, widget buttons can only be constructed using images (thus, the “canvas” is a rectangle, so you get touch response across the whole thing). It’s on our list to make widget buttons constructable using vector objects, but I don’t have a specific ETA on this… hopefully soon, though.

Best regards,

Brent

ok, thanks.  That would be a great feature for you to add. I think i can make it work still, users just might jet a little annoyed if they touch it on accident.
