The Opaque Flag is Funny?

[clevername27]

I may not remember correctly what this flag does, but the panels here remain translucent when I enable the flag—they simply get brighter.

Are you sure? You have editing mode on so you will see the grid.

Here's a little test. First opaque false on the blue panel:

Now opaque on:

the opaque flag prevents repainting of all parent components (or overlaying siblings) so it's a huge performance gain.

@d-healey @Christoph-Hart Understood—I've used that flag, often. But as you can see (in my example), the panels are still translucent. I need to double-check that I'm doing something stupid.

@Christoph-Hart @d-healey

(I have edit mode turned on so you can see that Opaque is selected, and the other flags, in case I'm missing something.)

@clevername27 it might interfere with the shader in the background, as that‘s not rendered within the JUCE graphics system…

[clevername27]

@Christoph-Hart Appreciated - the shader isn't behind the panel—that's just a static image. (See the example snippet.) The shader is in the header.
