Gradient Bars and Text Anti-Aliasing probs

[Kid_Roleplay]

I've noticed somethin' minor when it comes to anti-aliasing involving the String Object in that it won't smooth out text when the ink effect is set to semi-transparent.

Also, horizontal bar counters with a vertical gradient look as they should when the bar is full, but as the bar decreases, the two colors seem to slide towards a solid. I'm not sure if that's always the case, but I had made a health indicator which consisted of three bars: A red to dark red gradient horizontal bar, a dark red to red gradient horizontal bar (mirrored, basically), and a large black bar going around the first two. When it's laying over the black, it's much easier to see.

One way around the first problem is to make your text as a backdrop or active.

One way around the second problem is to make your own custom health bar and use the counter to change the animation of the health bar.

I know this does not address your problems directly, but the solutions work.
