ez 3.1 final
I have problem controling the index transparency of an image layer and text overlay of an textto image layer.

here is what I wrote in the textto image.ini#
[top]
Family=arial
PointSize=11
TextColor=#000000

I got similar strings with complete differnet results. The only thing that is not the same is the image it selft

image($Child:item.name,imagefile('design/jetstream/images/bt_blank.jpg'),array($Child:item.name|texttoimage('top'),hash(transparency,0,halign,center,valign,center)))

On this first image I receive a white!!!!!!! text color with transparent background.

image(concat($#module_result.path.[sub(count($#module_result.path),1)].text),imagefile('design/jetstream/images/hd_blank.jpg'),array(concat($#module_result.path.[sub(count($#module_result.path),1)].text)|texttoimage('top'),hash(transparency,0,halign,center,valign,center)))

On this second image I receive a black text color but a white!!!! background color.

I am a little lost now. can somebody help me? Why do I get the white color in the frist example and the white background in the second.

Hi,

This is due to the fact that 3.1 converts gifs to png instead of gifs. If you change image.ini you should be able to change this but since 3.1 this no longer works for me.

hopefully eZ will post a fix.
