New element: Wired canvas

    The element will conduct like other metals such as metl and pscn.

    The element will be indestructable to the extent that inst and filt are.

    The main feature of this element is the ability to take the deco color as the base color. This allows your button to appear any color you want while allowing you to see the spark. This would be especially cool if you colored a long wire black since you would be able to see a floating spark travel across the screen in an unpredictable way and because its base color is also pitch black you wouldn't be able to see it even if you turned off deco.

    The element would also be useful in just about any painting save ever, since you would be able to have the painting work in either deco or no deco.

    I'd say I want this element mainly because I'd be able color my buttons any color I want without also preventing the spark from showing.

     

    To make this element work you'll need:

    The basics of spark transference

    To have the color of the Wired canvas be stored somewhere in spark (Do we really need tmp2 for anything?)

    To make the deco and non-deco colors the same

    and to transfer the stored deco that was in the spark back into the Wired canvas when the spark is done.

     

    If I am greatly oversimplifying the process to do this I apologize. I really just wanted a colored butto *ahem* some material that makes drawing easy... *cough* *cou-button-gh* *cough*

    alright so: colored buttons that show spark: when editing the color, the number at the last.. is the transparency. make it halfway to see the color and the spark. for having art saves work in no deco/yes deco, first: its not hard to turn on deco and second: if you want it to show up in the thumbnail, use activated LCRY
