Gradient Bars Edit

[Vexus]

There's this menu script of ryex: http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,2365.0.html and frankly I don't like the black border of the gradient bars and was wondering if it's possible to fix it into something neater.

I I hope it's not something hard to edit but that black border doesn't look good at all and even though I tried searching I have no idea how to change it as I don't know how to script.

Thanks.

define "something neater".

that's what a gradient is isn't it, from dark to light to dark again.

Something like this: http://www.adobetutorialz.com/content_images/AdobePhotoshop/TextEffects/ferrari/gradient.jpg

Meaning from darker to brighter instead of how it's currently (Darker on top and bottom and brighter in the middle).

class Bitmap
  def draw_bar_ryex(x, y, w, h, p, c)
    gray = Color.new(100, 100, 100)
    # border
    fill_rect(x, y, w, h, Color.new(0, 0, 0))
    
    # horizontal gradients:
    # where no coloured bar is shown.
    for i in 0..w - 3
      gr = gray.red * i / w
      gg = gray.green * i / w
      gb = gray.blue * i / w
      #fill_rect(x+1+i,y+1,1,h-2,Color.new(gr, gg, gb)) #normal
      fill_rect(x+w-1-i,y+1,1,h-2,Color.new(gr, gg, gb)) #reverse
    end

    # coloured bar.
    for i in 0..(p * (w - 3))
      r = c.red * i / w
      g = c.green * i / w
      b = c.blue * i / w
      fill_rect(x+1+i,y+1,1,h-2,Color.new(r, g, b))
    end
    
  end
end

replace line 144-175 with this code.

i made the gray gradient (bar background) go from light to dark because at a certain value the gray background and coloured foreground of the bar become indistinguishable, but you can change it back if you want by putting the # from the #normal line to the #reverse line.
