I have a PNG image that I'd like to display fading out. I tried the BitBlt method suggested by "Team RAR" to fade the image, but I can't make it work.

The image loads properly from a file and displays fine as an ImageMorph. I have been able to use a TransformationMorph to rotate and scale it, and PNG transparency is working properly.

Is the "Team RAR" BitBlt method the only way, or are there alternatives?

I'm running a 3.9 image, and my display depth is set to 32 bits.


Normally you would just use an alpha-blending canvas. See HaloMorph fadeIn/fadeOut and draw methods. To try those halos, enable this:

Preferences enable: #haloTransitions

Now when I tried then the halo icons do not actually show until alpha is one. No idea why that is.
