how do I change Background Color in an Event

Hi!

I couldn't find the solution of that question on the Forum.

anyone knows if it's possible ?

I want to change the color background.

Do I have to use an Image ?

Thanks!

In construct2...

You can change the bg color in the layer properties. In CC it's in the layout properties..took me a while to figure that one out lol.

It's not possible in an event.

But you can use the Canvas plugin, you put it in the lowest layer, make it the size of the layout and fill it with the color you want at runtime.

Cool, thx!

The Canvas plugin does what I want...

But, it also divide my FPS by 2!!

So... can't really use it.

Thx anyway !

hmm send the capx, it might be a size thingy, the size of the canvas texture could be 1*1 px but you could stretch it to fit the layout.

And setting a pixel shouldn't drop fps :D

Ooh!

I made it the size of my Window.

That must be why!

Hmm, using that thought, you could make a 1x1 sprite, stretch it to fit the screen, and not use the add on. Right?

Paradox: yes.

And having different animation frames for different colors.

Heh, <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> that's exactly what I'm working on now. Each level has it's own color, so each frame corresponds to the level number. it doesn't even require another variable.

Actually, I already have a transparent PNG gradient with texture stretching to fit. The color layered behind it will make it look like different backgrounds each level with very little extra download time.
