Testing, Testing, "This Thing On?" May 18, 2005 18:03 UTC, by Chris Simmons, Senior Journalist From the ooh-shiny-alpha! department... Lots of work going on with the app_server and related. According to DarkWyrm's blog, we finally have a test app that makes use of Alpha colorspace! Stephan Assmus whipped up a simple app titled Playground, which allows simple color and shape manipulation, using the alpha channel no less. Visible are buttons, a checkbox, radio buttons, text boxes, and a drawing canvas. They all work, which is a sign that the backend development has really come a long way. More interesting bits are at the blog, so be sure to head on over for more info. Congrats team!
