[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Antialiased rendering on a transparent i

[kirillcool@xxxxxxxxx (Kirill Grouchnikov)]

I can't say that i agree with this approach. There are two cases:

1. Black foreground. Here, you convert all the colored pixels into 
translucent black. This is not how the native rendering works - the final 
"outlier" pixels (when they are rendered on screen) should stay colored 
(bluish, yellowish) to reproduce the native rendering with high fidelity.
2. Non-black foreground (say white foreground on black background or any 
other combination). This is not supported at all.

So, even in the first case you're losing the native rendering fidelity, 
and the second case is not supported at all. 

Thanks
