mirror or rotate sliders

Solar2D Widgets
#1

for some reason I need sliders working in opposite direction

I tried it by rotate the widget.newSlider()

It works by the look… but not in use.

Yes for most cases the sliders are useful as they are, but some special cases need it different:

  • multiplayer game sitting in opposite direction - developer have to turn the widgets on one side

  • “fill” a value by drawing down a slider

for me it would be ok if the sliders would work in 180 degree position

no problem for me to mirror the values, but I need the “fillFrame” on the right side.

Yes, I could make my own sliders …

Any ideas?

Hi @Sven.Lua,

Will these sliders be overlaying a solid background color? If so, how about making the “non filled” part appear as if filled, and make the “fillFrame” image match the solid background? That way, as the user manipulated the slider, the slider would appear to fill, but it would match the background, thus giving the impression that it’s empty.

Yes it’s possible to get one working case…

One can make a workaround

But it’s not possible if the background isn’t a stretchable image
