I am trying to make a custom battery gauge using the Smart Widgets Editor. I got the hang of it but I am stuck on one issue.
The "charge level" image of the battery is placed at the lowest layer and translated "inside" the cylinder based on the actual charge level. However, on layer 1 I placed the bottom cap of the battery, including some drop shadow so the background comes through. As you can see, the charge level image slides under the bottom cap. How can I hide it at the bottom, so I can still use the drop shadow? Is there maybe some kind of cropping function available? Or even better, a way to "mask" a layer?

I am working on a instrument that would show the PITCH, ROLL and YAW. Much similar to how a flight Attitude indicator would work.

To be able to do this I need to be able to move the picture in the X, Y and rotate the picture all at the same time.



Looking at the Smart Widget editor and the Smart Widget manual I cant figure out how to do this.


Any help here would be highly appriciated.

Best regards

I've run into an issue where I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if I've found a bug in the smart sliders.

I have a smart slider set up modeled after the sample Horizontal Slider but with my own graphics and a 0 -15 value range.

Whenever I move the slider off of the 0 (leftmost) position, the Layer 2 image (the no progress image) shifts to the right and shows past the frame on that side by several pixels. How many pixels it shifts seems to be based on which set of graphics I use.

This issue occurs both in the editor and when loaded to my Gen4 35DT.

I've tried several sets of graphics and tinkered with all the settings, nothing I can find seems to correct the issue. They work perfectly other than this visual issue.

I've attached a small project that shows the issue on two sliders, each with the same settings but different graphics.

If someone can take a a look at this and either explain what I'm doing wrong or let me know that it is indeed a bug (and hopefully an ETA for a fix in that case) I'd much appreciate it.
