Changing Color of SVG

There’s this:

It looks pretty bad & isn’t very tweakable but it gets the job done efficiently.

There’s also Vinnie Falco’s library that contains implementations of all the Photoshop Filters you reference above — this looks great and is powerful, but it uses a very old version of JUCE and is very inter-dependent (aka you need to use the entire library to just get the photoshop parts).

Photoshop Layer Effects for JUCE Controls!

As discussed in one of my other posts, here is the first iteration of Photoshop-style “Layer Effects” using the JUCE software renderer. Here’s how it works: Create a BackgroundContext from your Graphics and draw into it using normal Graphics operations (BackgroundContext is derived from Graphics). You have to fill the whole thing (this is a temporary JUCE limitation for now). This means your Component must have setOpaque (true). Create a LayerContext from your BackgroundContext and draw in…

I would love it if he rewrote that to work with modern JUCE, but I imagine that’s a large task and he’s busy doing other things (like making Boost awesome).

In my app I tried both, and neither were usable. The JUCE one looks like ass, and the VFLib came with too much extra baggage (some of it dates back to JUCE 2 even). I ended up manually adding very small gradient rectangles where I needed them.

This took forever, but looks very good!

I hope there is an improvement in JUCE regarding drop shadows soon.
