Struggling!!

-=-=-



Testcard G is now available in the Testcard Generator, with a slight discrepancy, right now.

Who knew that White on White would be the stumbling block in a Testcard?
If you look at the top of the circle, you can see that some of the white rectangles are being drawn over the top of other white rectangles.
Wherever they meet up/overlap, the engine is inexplicably adding a little thin grey boundary between shapes.
And I swear, that isn't anywhere in the code!!
Other colours don't appear to do it, either. It's only white on white. The overlapping greyscale bars aren't doing it. Only white, and only when it meets up with white.
.. And only when inside a Clipped area..
It's SO bizarre!!
Even worse, it only seems to be on Safari. Quite why, no idea, but it's definitely a frustrating issue.

Today, I'll look into ways to eliminate that obscure oddity, then Testcard G will be properly "done".
Grr..

Meanwhile


I forgot to draw a desktop for yesterday's Pixelart, leading to all manner of chaos, this morning.
The .php script only grabs the most recent pixelart, to add to the .zip, meaning it wouldn't grab yesterday's once I'd drawn it.
I had to (*gasp*) EDIT my script, to include yesterdays, but then it re-added today's.

Does that make a difference!? I had to check, so I double clicked the .zip file expecting it to open up a view of the contents..
NOPE..
MacOS "Helpfully" automatically unzipped it all.

*sigh*
Guess I need to find a zip util, then, so I can actually look inside zips, instead of decompressing them.
