Text Background (effect 2)

Add this to a theme JSON:

{
  "special_effect": 2
}

Draws a translucent black rectangle behind each prompt's text, excluding its button icon. It follows the text's rotation and fade in every layout, including all visible List rows. Requires a SkyPrompt build with per-text effect support.

Optional: special_integers[0] sets the background color as a packed ABGR integer. For example, "special_integers": [2147483648] is black with alpha 128, the default.

Optional: special_floats controls horizontal padding, vertical padding, and corner radius, in that order, in screen pixels:

"special_floats": [6.0, -2.0, 4.0]

This adds 6 pixels on each side, removes 2 pixels from the top and bottom, and rounds the corners with a 4-pixel radius. Padding changes only the background, not the text or icon positions. Each omitted value defaults to 0. Negative padding shrinks the background; if either dimension becomes zero or negative, no background is drawn. Zero or negative corner radius gives square corners. String and boolean parameters are unused by this effect. Effect 0 remains disabled; effect 1 remains Viny Arcs.

For host integration, include only SkyPrompt/AddOns.hpp and call the per-text overload before drawing the label:

SkyPrompt::AddOns::RenderSpecialEffect(specials, drawList, textMin, textMax, angle, alpha);

textMin and textMax are the unrotated text bounds in screen pixels. angle is rotation in radians around their center; alpha is the prompt fade from 0 to 1. Their defaults are 0 and 1. Keep the existing four-argument overload for effects drawn once around the whole prompt group.

Installation (via vcpkg)

Add to your vcpkg.json:

"dependencies": [
  "skyprompt-addon"
]

In your CMakeLists.txt:

find_path(SkyPromptAPI_INCLUDE_DIRS "SkyPrompt/AddOns.hpp")
target_include_directories(your_target PRIVATE ${SkyPromptAddOn_INCLUDE_DIRS})

This is a header-only library; no linking is needed.

To use the SkyPrompt Addon port locally, copy the cmake/ folder from the SkyPrompt Addon repository into your project:

your-project/
└── cmake/
    └── ports/
        └── skyprompt-addon/
            ├── portfile.cmake
            └── vcpkg.json
