It's a good thing G as early growth didn't occur to me or I'd still be working on it.
I spent a fair bit of time on "magpie" but magp went nowhere.

I needed the full roster of starters but after that it's been almost immediate. I'd really like an official chronometer for Wordle speedrunning.

I have this odd obsession that I like to know who I am buying from especially on line things
So I observed this tag at the bottom of the company's web site Luxottica Group
By the way I have dealt with this company for at least 8 years always great service and price
I always figured it was some one who imported cheep reading glasses from who know where
here is the web site
OK now the interesting part who is Luxottica Group
As much as I despise Google you could never have done this years ago
OK some very smart Italian Guy (aren't they all)
That was nice but you know me I need to know how this company got involved with
the place that sells my $17.00 to #25.00 reading glasses HOLLY crap Conglomerate
Brands
Here is the killer in the past if you were not happy in 90 days you could return free of charge
did this once long time ago.
This time one pair were tight on my head so I requested to send them back
they said they do not do returns they just issue credit and request you donate
the glasses to a worthy cause How the hell do you do that ? Here is the answer!
Look at the prices of some of the other brands they sell $150.00 to $300.00
The cheep Readers come out of the same factory making the HIGH end glasses
I am beginning to sound like Paul Harvey "The Rest of the Story"
Well it is NOT a programming question. And I am not promoting anything just sharring! enjoy

It is one of the fastest growing company in manifacturing in Italy, there are reasons. As far as I know it's a pretty good workplace too.

In Australia I pay $15 for reading glasses. In China they charged $200.

That's an interesting point. It's similar with goods in Mexico because they don't have the kinds of trade deals the US and several other nations have. Buying a car in Mexico for example, or even shoes, is horrifically expensive.
I'm not sure, but unless all of that is eaten up in tariffs it may be that the seller pockets the difference? I really don't know how all that works.

u can ditch the habit of buying glasses online and go out to a store and try it on be happy..

I have a set of icons that are basically transparency maps generated from an SVG source, so you have little things like save icons and such.
Bear with me:
The transparency maps are such that each pixel is actually just an alpha value (at 8 bits it's 0 to 255 with 255 being fully opaque) - and then you apply a color to actually draw it on the screen. The transparency map works such that the icons wind up nicely crisp and anti-aliased against whatever background they are drawn against.
Here's my question: Can you think of reasonable use cases to adjust the transparency while drawing such that you can make the thing partially transparent while you draw it? Say you have a "new file" icon. Are there good reasons you can think of that it might need to be drawn partially see-through against a background?
Or is this just gold plating?

In my experience, disabling a button with an icon, doesn't "disable" the icon; it still looks "active". In that case, I make the Icon faint enough (Opacity) to imply it's disabled.

Agreed. This is my quick-and-dirty means of displaying a WPF UserControl in a disabled state when the controls within it don't have the appearance I want. It's especially useful when the primary feature in the control is a bitmap.

Will the user be able turn off such a "feature"?
With eyesight like mine, any dynamic activity on the screen is an irritant.

That's kind of beyond the scope of this. This is just the library for the graphics.

Remember that Microsoft, in their seemingly infinite stupidity, now has some windows that become transparent when they gain focus. Unlike (2000-era?) when they became transparent when they were in the background, and lost transparency upon focus. That was the only logical method, but some fool thought transparency is so cool that it should be in our faces. In other words, it is up to you. But I'm against transparency in the top-level window.
