Anyone know whether its possible to alter the Joystick Depth? I searched the forum/enhancement log but couldn't find anything...

If its not currently possible, I'll raise a enhancement request. Thanks.

I guess that means this is not currently possible... I'll add it as an enhancement. Thanks.

EDIT: Raised - 518.

I would just hide the virtual joystick (still leaving it active) and then place a sprite at its location. That way you have full control over depth, animation, colour and a whole bunch of other things.

Hello fog, yeah, there are several workarounds for this, but as an example of why this would be useful, in my current WIP, I transition from 'in game' to the titlescreen by fading a sprite covering the whole screen. As the Joystick is currently at the top, the joystick is not covered by the 'fade' and looks a bit odd... I could of course just remove the joystick prior to fading, but altering the depth would be a cleaner, nicer solution.

Thanks for the suggestion all the same...

Is it possible to alter the alpha of the joystick? That way you could fade it out.


Demo 3 is out now!

Yes it is... And that's currently my workaround...
