AmiDock and application.library in AmigaOS
4 (cont'd)
The transparency support of AmiDock also allows to
use alpha channel rendering for dockies in true color. Have a
look at Picture 5
for some examples. The Rainbow.docky is just a fancy
color-cycling eyecandy which uses a gradient alpha channel.
Then you can see Button.docky displaying a tiger comic
character which is provided as GIF image. As you can see, the
alpha mask is correctly rendered. On the left of the maximized
Lens.docky you can see a small boing ball. this is actually a
Anim.docky which renders a jumping boing ball (GIF animation)
together with its transparency mask.
